It's summer ...

Mon Jun 23, 2008, 12:15 PM

Mood: Content
Listening to: Sopor Aeternus
Drinking: Franken Rotling

And quite hot here ... but a lot of work to do, like ususal

you never get finished if you have mad ideas all the time

AND there are pictures of me and my friends in well known gothic magazines (Orkus and Zillo) and this makes me really happy

So my sewing plans for the next time:

- rococo riding habit for a friend
- "victorian" jacket with fur trims for the same lady

- a complete Robe a la Francaise - a commission I cannot wait to start working on it

For me:
- black baroque gown (still need THE idea how I should make the sleeves)
- an underbust corset (prototype - another mad idea but hopefully an useful one

)
- anything made from black vinyl ... I made a new skirt out of that stuff and need something apart from a corset to wear with it
- a new hoop skirt - bigger than my old one .. MUCH bigger

- red stays with a lot of gold trims
- minor stuff like lace collars ...
-more everyday stuff .. now that it's warm I realised that I'm running out of summer clothes as well *cough*
- finishing some things ..

Actual wishlist:

- a new gothic robe a la Francaise, if I find the perfect fabric, I'm searching for a black jaquard that is affordable and has a GREAT pattern ... *dreams*
- A new Bustle gown, but I still don't know how it should look like, apart from black and purple

And I'm still wondering if I should make that bondage bustle gown I've been talking about for a longer time now ... I'm not much into "fetish"-goth clothes (well, not any more) but otherwise I think the idea is quite nice ... otherwise I made that vinyl skirt some days ago, I made it to go over my hoop skirt and I think it turned out quite nice ... I guess you will see pictures one day

What else? .. not much new. I started writing a homepage for my sewing services that I hopefully can offer one day officially ... I haven't done much for that little business the last time but I really want to do it. It's my dream ...

Next event: Göttertanz on 28. June

And I'm glad to see

and

there ...

Please accept my deepest empathy and condolence on the loss of your beloved fur suited friend. I know what a black hole and void such a loss creates in your heart.

We never get over the loss but somehow some little furry face worms his or her way back into our hearts at least soothing the hurt and pain although it never really leaves us. May such a fur friend find you again in the future when you are ready. I'm sure Felix is waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge. [link]

Thank you very much!

I feel better now that some time has passed but I still miss him.

You are most welcome. I hear you. I still miss my RooCat and my Munchkin, two very special cat friends, but I do have Master BK to comfort me who feels it his duty to entertain and amuse me.

Sorry for my late reply, I had no connection to the internet for a few days

I'm sure one day a cat will live with me again.
My beloved Felix lived at my parents because my little student's flat would have been too small for such a big cat

But I drove back nearly every weekend.
Now that house is so empty without him.
My dad wants to have a cat again as well but my mother needs more time to get over it. He was a very special friend for all of us.

I do so understand. :tear: for you and your family. After I had my beloved Munchkin euthanized, I didn't want another cat for a long time but at 6 months a close gf bought me another cat over my protests. That was my equally beloved RooCat who died much too young. Somehow, my gf KNEW I needed that particular kitten. She was so very right. The right little kitty or kitties will find you, your father and mother again. Of that I am sure.
