My Bio

about me
In my second year of university, doing an English Literature Degree. I'm a rather boring bookworm.

I take Tribal Bellydance lessons and this is slowly starting to take over my life. ^_^ I have taken up making my own costumes, hairpieces and other do-dads. Also, I think I may have forgotten how to dance normally.

There's not much to say really. I read a lot and sew quite a bit now. I spin poi pretty badly. I enjoy cooking and love baking. I am messy. I am ditzy. I am shy. I spend way too much time daydreaming and should probably get into writing again just so I can get some of these ideas out of my head and onto the page.

My Blog

Oh the apathy.
I keep on meaning to make stuff and post pictures here, but never seem to have the motivation or money. Due to lack of funds I will not be buying any new material (not that I do that often) for at least a couple of months. I wonder if I can survive without buying notions? I may just have to. No problem, I finally got round to making a start on the coin bra that I bought the kuchi coins and cowrie shells for LAST YEAR when I still had money. >_> That should keep me occupied for a while. Pictur... read more

Happy New Year!
Well, photos of my first bellydance-related sewing project can be found in my pictures. Tie dyed harem pants and tie top. I'm rather pleased with how they turned out. My kuchi coins and cowrie shells arrived from their respective sellers on eBay and I am very happy with them. I'm intending to costuming crazy over the next couple of days. One of the few good things about being unemployed over the holidays, you get to spend a ridiculous amount of time messing about with scraps of cloth and play... read more

Productive time! (yeah right)
Now exams have finished I may finally be able to attack my sewing pile and get some stuff done. I also just bought some kuchi coins and cowrie shells for adorning tassels/belts/bras/whatever the hell else stays still long enough.

I also really need to make that panel skirt I have been meaning to make, as well as the batik hipscarf. Also, need to find out how the hell to attach peacock feathers to tassels (even if you tie them won't they just slide out?) and find something to do with all t... read more

First Post
Well, I have finally just subscribed to Tribe. Seems to be better for networking in the areas I'm interested in than most blog sites, other than LJ but that's bit dead these days.

I would make a longer post but I should really be doing essay shit. I have procrastinated long enough.

Lets see how this goes.

Re: my make-do skirt! (in DIY/ Bellydance on a Budget) Ooh, nice one. I may have to borrow that idea.

Re: Costumes on products (in DIY/ Bellydance on a Budget) Those are amazing. I'm always in awe of heavily beaded costumes, I would go mad!

Re: Video-hmmmm-well do you? (in The Everyday Bellydancer) Alas, I do not have any decent video taking equipment, just my crappy digital camera with no sound. It skips occasionally as well. It's nice seeing other dancers posting their videos here, I may try and put a little something together anyway. Alth... read more
