It’s only February, but I’m already thinking about my Spring wardrobe.
Now, I don’t know where the money to produce this wardrobe is going to materialize from, but here’s to hoping for some luck in that part of my life (as well as some others…*cough* yeah).
I’m really feeling like I’m going to be wearing a lot of dresses this year. I’m sinking into my ultrafemme, I-want-to-look-pretty phase, and I’m digging it. As well as digging these cute shirt dresses and drop-waist knit dresses from Old Navy.
These will be adorable with some skinny jeans, leggings or tights. I think I’m going to have to hit up We Love Colors, too.
I’m also loving this set up Old Navy did with the drop-waist knit dress.
Makes me drool a little bit. I’m silly over clothes sometimes.
I just want to feel cute, and look cute, and exhibit this newfound confidence I’ve gained as of late in the best way possible.
So we’ve got white stuff covering the ground, which means I’m not leaving the house until it is liquid again, which also means that I needed something to keep me from just sleeping all afternoon…and that was actually fully updating the site.
There are tons more pretty, sparkly things to see in my jewelry portfolio, some of which will be available for sell soon at the Implexus store in NoDa (that opens Feb. 5th!), as well as a few of my illustration works. There are also some new things to peep there as well.
I also updated the ABOUT ME page and filled it with a look into my sordid life. Or more like my semi-boring, random life. Either way, it’s a pretty stellar bio, if I do say so myself.
Life has been rather grand as of late. I have lots going on, and some promising conquests and possibilities. I also stocked up on a bunch of books at Book Buyers in Plaza Midwood. Lots of short stories to love and inspire. All women writers. I’m not sexist…
I’ve also spent some dough on some new art supplies…I have ideas, now to get them out of my head. Perhaps that white stuff outside will force me to work on that, as well.
Oh! And you can now view my writing samples (sort of) on the site! So do that!
9:19:49 PM elizabethl.yates (Elizabeth Yates): i do like etid
9:20:10 PM shake.those.hips (Samantha Webster): seriously…a former english teacher as a lead singer and an illustrator as guitarist…and they’re brothers…HOT brothers…
9:20:13 PM elizabethl.yates (Elizabeth Yates): i would go and stand in the back
9:20:33 PM shake.those.hips (Samantha Webster): I would go and get right under keith and have my ribs crushed
I’m so hoping that this year is a million times better than the last. This entire winter break has been a shuffle between hospitals, doctor’s offices, and nursing homes. Not so cheery and merry, also not much of a break. Christmas didn’t even happen until last night. Crazy.
But! Hey, I’m positive about this new year. I have declared that it will be an awesome and fulfilling year. I have a million and one plans and I want to actually stick to it and be productive. Motivation, oh sweet motivation! Stick with me.
One of the things that I’m starting work on the soonest is a web comic over at thesamwebs.com. There’s nothing up there yet, but I’ve got plenty in my head. Now to get it all out. Perhaps my sweet little Bamboo Fun can aide in that process.
But for now I leave you with today’s playlist of good music for a mediocre day:
I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be upset if JGL and Zooey Deschanel started making out on one of the beds I just made for the thousandth time…but everyone else better watch out.
I spent my summer slaving away at IKEA and Creative Loafing and enjoying Sundays and Mondays with the parents and cousin playing Rummikub until wee hours of the morning.
I made oodles of jewelry, which I have yet to take photos of, and decided to participate in the Seaboard Festival in my hometown this Halloween. So Mel and I will be peddling our wares to Richmond County and surrounding folk on this good old Hallow’s eve…or however you put it.
School’s back in session…hopefully the last time I’ll utter, or type, those words. Graduation is right around the corner and my stomach is doing flip flops. Oh little boutique in Charleston…when will you materialize and make my heart full?
Well, I’m probably not making a lot of sense, and I blame this on my achy IKEA feet and need for sleep at this hour…but I’ll stop now, and go enjoy a the end of Nobody Move by Denis Johnson. Good book. Read it.
I want to personalize this site as much as possible, but until I get it PERFECT (or damn near close) I’ve updated and consolidated the images in my portfolio. All (okay, MOST) of my jewelry is represented, and I seperated the illustration work into smaller catergories.
If you have any questions, or would like to purchase anything you see, please just use the contact page to get in touch with me.
Until next time (when hopefully the layout is mine…not prefab…),
So I haven’t really updated this site since the initial birthing, but that’s simply because I haven’t had the time! Now that the summer has rolled around, I still have LOTS AND LOTS to do, but I swear I’m going to make this the best damn portfolio/blog site this side of the Mississippi. Or at least make an attempt…
Keep your eyes open and hopefully by the end of the month there will be a much better, trimmer, leaner, sexier version of what is before you now.
So this is a lovely start to a new beginning. I have had multiple web presences in my lifetime, but now it is about my future. I welcome you to my portfolio site, and general purpose blog. A place where I can share my talents and talk about the insanity of life and the things it brings.
Enjoy and don’t be afraid to come back now, ya hear?

@93octane I will not click anything that relates to Chad Kroeger, thereby saving my eyesight and dignity.March 8, 2010 3:15
@AshPash This will be a fun convo with the Apple people. "How did you screw up your computer?" "Oh, I just drooled all over the keyboard."March 8, 2010 3:14
@BovineSituation I have that problem too. I hate pant sizing sometimes. I think I may just start wearing dresses and leggings.March 8, 2010 3:12
I think I may need to do laundry. The undies drawer is getting mighty bare...it's all special occasion or granny panties.March 8, 2010 1:07
