I couldn't resist photographing this rebel flower. It stands out among all the fall colors and gray skies...

Autumn-Pink

too much to post about

I have to make this quick, my head is killing me again.

I've had a lot of problems come up in my personal life that are keeping me from blogging here. One of them is that I just can't think clearly. The doctor said I am not having migraines but tension headaches (and other stress related problems). I'm taking a leave from work, hoping that helps. The medicine makes me feel like crap, but I'm trying.

I'm not sure when I will post again. If anyone would like to help (all income is pretty much going to this doctor stuff) please visit my etsy shop (www.roguedecadence.etsy.com). I am taking special orders, but can't promise the ability to make them (but would love to have something I have to do, a project to hopefully kick start my engines so to speak). If you would like to offer me any other help, my email address is strange_decadence@yahoo.com.

I'm going to nap now.

2 months posts in one/ My new shoes and clothesline

I finally got my Tom's shoes in! I'm so happy with them. At first I was afraid they were a bit too snug, but they seemed fit just right now.

I bought 2 pair, only have a pic of one pair right now though.

L_edeb5f171946432994633b019ddcf69e

These are the black with pink plaid VEGAN ones. Sadly, not all of Tom's Shoes are vegan, but this and my other pair are (as are all the wrap boots). I checked the site, but it seems they are out of the ones I got. The other pair are the Village something or other ones, also vegan. I'm so terrible at remembering names and titles. Hopefully I will get some pics of those soon.

I have worn these shoes with everything, from jeans to shorts to skirts to just taking Kalifornia out for potty time.

For those who aren't familiar, every time you buy a pair of shoes from Tom's they give a pair to a child who doesn't have shoes. Can you imagine having to go through life without shoes? No pedi could fix that paid.... Check out www.tomsshoes.com. There is even a vid of them delivering shoes!

My next amazing purchase recently was my tripod portable dryer/clothesline. It's one of the umbrella style ones (always loved those) and is on a fold up tripod so I can put it away safely when not in use. It is perfect for renters or campers or those who just don't want a clothesline up 24/7.

This top picture is from where I got it, off of Amazon.com. I fell in love at first site!

This second picture is of it in it's current state, in my spare room holding clothing. I'm not too fond of the idea of leaving it out while I am at work, and with the rain I've had no chance to get good sun... and clothing needs to be dryed... so instead of using my dryer I just set it up in my spare room (currently holding junk) and it works great. I do leave the ceiling fan on to help with circulating the air.

I'm cutting back on purchases, tend to put almost half of what's in my buggy back before hitting the register (playing the do I really need this game before getting there helps so much), using cloth napkins and rags instead of paper towels, keeping my reusable shopping bags in my car (up to over 20 now), STILL AM VEGAN, and so much more...

It may seem like a lot, but once you get the hang of it all you never know how you lived any different...

Oh, and on a more personal note...

This is Marli. She is Jeff's new puppy... and yes, we are now able to be friends. It's pretty cool, and I'm sure he digs that I (or sometimes my mom) am willing to puppy sit her.

Her and Kalifornia are so different. They love to rough play together, but stop when it gets to be too much and I have to yell at them. While Kali is so shy and scared of everything, Marli isn't scared of anything and can't stand to be in a room without you in it. It's so sweet to have them both here, but can get on my nerves. It helps to keep me from adopting another pup, something I just couldn't handle right now.

I also finally added new items to my Etsy shop!!! Sorry, the amethyst in the green necklace (necklace only, bracelet is still up for grabs) is taken!

Bioshock ADAM syringe gun

Crafty Minx
Jul 24, 2009

I've never played this game, and I'm not feeling well, which means No Photos For You, but: please go check out this ADAM syringe gun replica at Volpin Props. It's pretty awesome. The Little Sisters use them to collect genetic material. When you're done, check out the rest of Volpin Props. I love this kind of prop reproduction, because I love to continue to develop my ability to look at something and know how it's made.

Still keeping up with the paper journaling, though not as regularly as I had been. Taking it all to the park with me a few weeks back was fun, but I had to come home and print and cut out the photos and tape them into the journal, and that was tedious and took some time.
