Project Runway

I will continue with home improvement roundup next week. For right now,...

Can we just talk about Project Runway for a second? There won't be any spoilers because I, of course, missed the last like 5 minutes because I wasn't paying attention.

OMG! I loved last night's episode. The contestants had to design an outfit for a WWE Diva.

All right. I have to make a confession. I love WWE wrestling on occasion. I watched it every weekend when I was a kid, but of course back then, it was called WWF. Yeah, I know it's fake, but I like to call it my stories. Some people have their soaps. I have my wrestling. I don't watch it all the time, but I do like to watch it every now and then.

Let's get back to the show. I thought this challenge was hilarious. You could see on most of the contestants faces that they were in total despair over this challenge. It only got worse when they mentioned they would have to shop at Spandex House. HA! The people that I thought would have whined the most didn't. They actually grabbed the challenge by the horns and went for it. Sweet Pea I must say did have the toughest customer. Candace does like a lot of flair and a lot of sexiness. She's like the Las Vegas Strip all rolled into one person. I could definitely see her wearing that outfit if it only had had lots more sparkle on it.

I have no idea what Ricky was thinking. I mean, seriously. A bathing suit with a gold lame coverup?! What the heck was that? It wouldn't have lasted five minutes even in a pretend match.

I'm so glad they had to do this challenge. A lot of people are probably thinking what did this have to do with fashion? Well, you know what? Somebody has to design these clothes for these girls. Also, you never know who is going to come to you and want to commission you for a special piece. I could see Maria coming to Chris in the future for more outfits. They were a perfect fit.

Lesson to be learned: Open your eyes to the possibilities.

A Little Bit of Everything

Well, my duckies, how did your weekend go?

I was back to painting my mom's hall and second floor yesterday. With the cost of gas and the gas guzzler car I have, I can only afford to go to her house once a week as she lives over 30 miles away. Why did I ever agree to paint her house? Seriously. I'll be glad when this is done. I at least got some color on the second floor this time. Thank goodness. Don't get me wrong I love to paint, but this is just ridiculous. I think it's the color. I just don't like the colors she's picked out together. It's just too much. It was literally giving me vertigo.

Oh, I was on the front page of Etsy this weekend. Thanks, stephaniegibson, for letting me know! It was like all of 10 minutes so it's a good thing she told me. I do believe this is the first time I have been on the front page when it involved a treasury list. Last time was because of the Crest trunk show at the Labs, and the other was Christmas Day last year. Here's a screenshot just because.

See my ring in the top corner?

Btw, Project Runway starts this week! In two days as a matter of fact! Yay! I'm so excited.

Last but not least is my little oyster ring. It was inspired by the Creative Challenge in the Etsy forums. This week's challenge was to create something inspired by something under the sea. My little ring is all copper. The copper oyster has been soldered to the band ring, and then it was accented with white opal bead attached with copper wire. I just love it even though it's a substantial ring. I'm planning on doing a necklace just like it in sterling if the Post Office would quit taking holidays so I could get my solder. lol.
