Kicking it up a notch!

Yo! :) I've been a busy beaver today... I gave my blog a facelift (I hope you like it!), and I "finished" my website. Well, it's not completely finished, but I think it's looking okay! If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

133.4 - Post Carb-Up Scale Increase

Shoooo. Today has been another busy one. One weekend I will sit on my ass and relax. There is always so much to do and take care of, though! Today was no exception. I woke up, weighed in (up a bit from the carb increase yesterday), and proceeded on with my to-do list... some of my more exciting accomplishments of the day included:

1. Watching the Hangover (all kinds of awesome!!)

2. Dropping a plate on my big toe today at the gym (not awesome!)

3. Cleaning out and organized our armoire in the living room. I now have an organized home filing system in there, along with storage for a personal business venture of mine. (YAY!) I have been stoning suits, so if you all need the hookup, just let me know. Some examples are below!






I'm getting ready to head out for a bike ride, then the hubby and I will sit back and watch the new True Blood before calling it a night. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

Sneak Preview

I finished stoning my suit last week... Here's a glimpse! :) I have been under the weather for a few days, so I will not be posting full body shots of my bloated ass on here, but at least you can see what the top looks like! I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I used Crystal AB stones in both 20ss and 16ss, as well as Light Siam AB stones in 20ss.

8 Weeks and 4 Days Out!

Time is passing a little too quickly! Will I be lean enough? Will my posing be just right? Will my suit be finished? There are so many questions bouncing around in my head. Only time will tell!

I finally started stoning my suit. I was able to get a custom blank suit for a bargain, thanks to bartering, and I already had the necessary supplies and Swarovski crystals for stoning. So far, I have invested a good 1.5-2 hours stoning my suit. It is nowhere near finished.

Here she is... let the stoning process begin!

As some of you know, suits are friggin' expensive. I'm pretty happy with my thrifty craftiness, even if it means I will have to inhale days upon days worth of glue fumes to get it complete. :o)

For those interested, here are products I use to stone my suits:

Jewel Setters: These truly make setting the stones super simple!

E6000 Adhesive:

Toothpicks: for applying the glue!

and, of course, Swarovski crystals:
