Holy crap have I been a busy panda lately. I guess you can tell by my lack of posts for the last few months and I hate to say it but I think that trend is going to continue into the new year. I only have 8 weeks left in my pregnancy (eep) and I can't believe it's creeping up so fast.

I had a summer sale on my corsets and bags last month and I am still super busy with it. In total I got orders for 9 corsets, 8 bags, 3 alterations, a dress, a belt, and a bridal set including the dress alteration, custom bolero, and matching garters. I currently have finished: 4 corsets, 6 bags, the dress, the belt, and all 3 alterations. 1 corset is 90% done, 4 more are half done, 1 bag half done, waiting on the fabric for the last bag, and the bridal stuff is in progress. Its the kind of set that I can't move onto the dress until the corset is done, the back of the dress until the tailoring is done to fit the corset underneath, the bolero until the dress is done, etc etc. It is, however, right on schedule to be completely done by the 20th of September. I want to have absolutely everything done and out of house by then as there is always the chance I could deliver early and I want to elave that last month open just in case. On top of those I am going to be making myself a new bag and dress, plus the quilt for the newborn and my annual quilt for my son (it's Star Wars this year). So I have to do all that plus any Christmas gifts I'll be making before the baby comes. The hubby and I want to have all our Christmas/Birthday stuff done before then because we certainly don't want to be doing the holiday crap with a newborn. I say Christmas/Birthday because between Dec 23rd and Feb 21st we have not only Christmas but 5 birthdays including the entire family (aside from new baby). It's gonna be a busy few months thats for damn sure. I still have no idea what we're doing for halloween... I was going to do Neo Queen Serenity and Chibi Usagi for me and baby as I will be staying home and handing out candy so the whole family doesnt have to match like we would like (we did Leia, Luke, and Chewie last year).

I did have a bunch of posts planned over the last little while but they obviously never happened.
1. Make-up for my sister in laws wedding - how I ended up designated MUA and what I used
2. My fav baking tools and recepies
3. step by step making of - the progress of making all these comissions (or dress diaries if you prefer)
4. Revlon Scented Nail Polish
5. Julep - my personal opinions and experiences
There may have been more but I have since forgotten about them. If you still want to read about them let me know and I'll do my best to actually make the posts. Or if you have any requests let me know and I'll think of something :)
