Have you seen the little diver tea infuser? I believe its made by the same company.
I'm so happy because next Monday is the audition for The Sacramento Mermaids, so my orange spandex tail is getting some love by being repainted and getting some glitter added afterwards. [emoji4] boy do I love glitter!http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06...40250c214e.jpg

I love finding ocean- themed things when I go shopping! ^.^ I may have spent some money... Tehe >.<
oh well :P The real starfishes and shell are for decorations, and the fake starfish I'll be making into a ring
During swim lessons one of the teachers told the kids to go over to deep end to do some diving. One of the kids responded "We're going to die". I told him no you're not gonna die. He responded "we lost three already". Three of the kids did not show to class tonight (many parents seem not to know we had lessons on Friday).
Haha what. >.<
(This one's only a small thing, but anyway..) I kinda disliked the 'yellow-ness' that the light globe in my room gave off, so I switched it for one of the fluorescent ones in the hallway- my room doesn't seem yellow anymore!! Yay! Even when I took pictures of stuff in here, it looked bad, but now I have a clear atmosphere in my room :D tiny victory
My tail is shipping today!
That's so exciting, Raayvhen! Pictures soon?Quote:

I bought this awesome material yesterday for half price at my spandex store. I was gonna make 4 tails out of it but my cousin and a friend say I need to make one tail with all the colors. To me that might be a waist of material because I bought enough to make individual tails. What do you think?
I also bought son bright pink mesh for making fins on a few of them.
Yesterday I got in the mail 3 tiny bonsais for my dollhouse. They are such cuties, and I love them!

Chinese zodiac is a Gold Goat : Ambitious and kind-hearted with a strong sense of responsibility in work; sometimes too stubborn.
Now for chinese, apparently my lucky month is august... the month i was actually born in.
All i can think about is
NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTS INKONYAAAAAAAMA BAITHI BABA
And a literal lion and a lamb/sheep/goat/ram. Both of which has religious connotations. Because you have the circle of life and things like "He lives in You"
The irony here is that I'm not actually religious.
And now all i can think about is Mufasa saying things like
"Simba, let me tell you something my father told me. Look at the stars. The great kings of the past look down on us from those stars... So whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you. And so will I."
"A king's time as ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here, and will rise with you as the new king."
"Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope."
And ironically enough, it is also fathers day today. AND summer solstice.
IT COMES. "FULL CIRCLE."
So aside from the bit of panicking I did yesterday about preparing for the GRE, there have been lots of positives to share:
My Finis Foil came on Thursday (a day early) and I was able to go swimming with it on Friday - that first swim across the pool with it was magical and the only other times I've had a similar feeling were when I got pulled along by a dolphin (this time I actually felt like a dolphin/mermaid)!
I'm starting to get a bit more confident in my study for the GRE - it's definitely hard and I have a long way to go, but I'm starting to feel more positive and am starting as prep course this week (hopefully able to take the exam at the end of July).
I got a ton of awesome fabric (thanks to my Mom and a bunch of coupons):
~ mermaid/sea creature flannel (pillowcase and one side of a weighted blanket)
Attachment 30782
~ various ocean/nautical theme fabric (not sure what it'll turn into yet)
Attachment 30783
~ fabric for my first tail (solid for tail, striped for fins, hopefully paired with Mahina Merfin showing)
Attachment 30784
Then tonight I went to an English Country Dance group that meets 5 minutes from home (I've always wanted to go and never realized it was that close...) and it was a ball! Can't wait for next week :)
Hi Ambr! Can't you incorporate the scraps from the tails into each of them? Like use some bits for fins, cut into strips for ribbing in the fluke, maybe alternate the colors cut into strips and apply as the ribbing onto the fins? That way you could do all the tails that you want and use some of the colors in each.Quote:

I just discovered the 'see who favorited this page' list on Etsy for my shop. I was pleasantly surprised that I only know three of the people who have favorited my shop. :D
And I double checked my prices, they're absolutely fair. I might not ever sell a necklace, but I do love to make them.
I wear those I made for myself, and I get a lot of compliments, so I'd like to think I'll sell one or two at some point.
