skull corset bright flower corset

blue stripe corset brown ribbon corset

Would you believe that I have been making dolly corsets???  Yup, I have.  My models are Souldoll Hazy and Dollstown Yeondu.  I bought the pattern from a nice lady in Aussie land, Just Shining.  The patterns were great and better yet, down loadable PDF’s…YEAH, no postage!  I asked permission to make some to sell and these are them.  I will be putting them up for sale on my Etsy site here in a few days.  The two tan corsets are made with vintage materials and trims.

4 corsets

My 12 year old daughter sent me this email on mothers day:

I want to say thank you for all you do. for cooking and cleaning and making us bentos boxes. I know you don’t get to here it enough but, “thank you” ^^ I just woke up (tired) so I don’t really have enough time to right something long but, I’ll try my best to make a poem for you:

in the night when the thunder roars, i am scared
but, you are there.
in the day where my friends cause trouble,
you are there to tell me how to get threw this.
i want to say thank you, but that seems to small.
(dad’s here and want to check his email, so i don’t have long at all)
there’s not much else to say, your my one and only mom and I’m very happy to have you
THANK YOU!

(I love the part about Dad wanting the computer to check his email).  I hope everyone else had a lovely Mothers Day, I know I sure did.

zines for sale

Linda August 2nd, 2008

This is to let you all know that I will be selling my zine collection (Scott begged me to NOT sell my Teesha Moore ones).  It includes: issues 1and beyond of the Gleaner, there are some early Artitude’s, Dogged Earred, Collage Cats, Artella and lots more.  Some are one shot zines, there are 2 in pdf form, and some early ones by people who now have become well known.  I will be posting these in lots to be sold on my ETSY site in the next week.  I am selling them to buy a better camera (the one I am using is just not good enough for the photos I need to take) and I need room in my side of the our studio.
