etsy shop?

I'm working part time right now, and I need to find a way to make more money than I currently am making, which will probably mean finding a second part time job. But I've been contemplating starting to sew much more seriously, and treat it like a part time job (like on my days off spend 8 or 9 hours a day just sewing things) and open up an etsy as a second job, to sell my clothes. I plan on selling things I make on etsy anyways, but I was just thinking of doing on a smaller scale.... like sew 5 or 6 items, and then slowly add more as I make more. It might come to that anyways, because I'm not sure how steady of an income etsy could provide.

Anyways, regardless of what I decide to do, I'm starting an etsy shop shortly and will have some things for sale. This shirt for example! I am working on a tank version too, and after I sew a few more items (I'm thinking a few things with chiffon), I'll get this shop up and running :)

Yikes, it's been forever since I posted on here. I confess, I started using tumblr and it kind of stole my attention away from this blog. If you want to see my tumblr its: suneyedgirlblog.tumblr.com. Anyways I am loving tumblr, but I thought I would come back to good old blogspot to focus on more personal posts, such as sewing, travel, and personal fashion, whereas my tumblr is mostly just a collections of pictures, quotes, or videos that I enjoy, with a bit of personal mixed in.

Also a picture of my new raybans :) Ignore my bedhead.

summer

The weather seems to have stopped being rainy and cool for the past few days, the pool in my back yard is now open for the summer, and I have months ahead of me of few commitments... I think this summer is going to be great

its sad that this is the most dressed up i've been in days... and its just to go to lunch at my grandma's. also my necklace is broken... gotta fix that.

sewing

speaking of sewing... my parents got me a dress form for my birthday last week! I am really excited to use it... now it means i can stop trying to invision things laid out on the floor, and no more trying to put on half-sewn items to see if the fit is correct! yay!

zara

I haven't had much to do for the past two weeks since I moved back home to Trenton... so I've been spending a LOT of time on the internet. Looking at clothes mostly. Which is just taunting me because I have $0 so I can't buy any of the pretty things I see online. At least it is inspiring me to sew more though. Anyways these are some pretty things from Zara that I wouldn't mind having in my closet

parrttyyy :)

This past Wedensday was the last party hosted at my house in Waterloo... all of us were celebrating finishing our undergraduate degrees! It got pretty emotional by the end of the night though, we were all reminiscing about the past 5 years we've spent together. It seems so strange that we won't all be together in the same city anymore!
