about me
Starting my fourth 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.
Sweet Zombie Jesus I haven't updated this blog in a long time. I guess because I only really use Tribe for bellydance stuff and I haven't really made anything too interesting in a while.
I am putting my first corset up on eBay. I never wear in anymore and don't think it ever fit me properly in the first place. The woman who fitted me had some pretty funny ideas about how to properly fasten a busk as well (apparently, according to her, the middle hook should be kept tucked under . . . say w...

I finally got round to making the Ghawazee coat I have been planning to make for a REALLY LONG TIME.
Pictures are now up.
Unfortunately the coin bra I was also engaged in making for a REALLY LONG TIME is about to be ripped apart, mostly due to the fact that I appear to have lost weight and the damn thing no longer even remotely fits me.
Damn.

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...

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...

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...
