Hello my sparkly little rockstars! I recently mentioned a few projects I've had going, which have pretty much multiplied, but I finally got the chance to show you a pic of the finished top I made! I hand sewed the entire thing! I'm not as pleased with how it looks on me though. I love the top, but I just don't care for the way it looks on. I guess mostly the fabric being shiny tends to make bellies look a tiny bit bigger than what they are & I hate that because I love shiny stuff! lol
Wanna know exactly what this little top used to be? A really hideous grandma slip! Yep that's right! This top was a huge and I mean HUGE slip that was a couple inches away from being ankle length & it was about 7 sizes too big! I made that ugly duckling into a beautiful pearl. lol I just done a crap load of fixing, adding, subtracting (lots of fabric was subtracted! lol) and I added the lace strip which was hell to sew!
I have a little white and black silk ribbon/bow thingy that actually came on the ass of a pair of panties I had & my sister cut the ribbon off and done away with the panties. I never saw them again and they were they most adorable things! I was really sad when I found the familiar looking ribbon in my bathroom floor after she'd left from being over one day. I picked it up trying to figure out what it came off of. I knew it was something of mine because I knew that ribbon looked so familiar. It didn't take long for me to figure out it was my oh so cute panties who will be forever missed.
So, I decided to stash the little ribbon away in my sewing/beauty supply room. I knew I would find something to add the ribbon to one day. I just couldn't let it go. This ribbon is not just any ribbon it's really gorgeous. And I will be sewing it on to the top in the photo. I think I'll put it kinda under the chest part in the middle. Know what I mean?
Well, I just thought I'd share with you my finally finished top! I'm a little proud of it. lol Also, at the moment I have my bathroom being remodelled still! I don't know who's bright idea it was to remodel my bedroom and bathroom all at once. So for a week and a day I've had no toilet! And as of saturday, no bathroom door. Only my shower. Well I can't not shower. I just can't skip showering even if it's a quickie. So I had to take one last night with no door!
Today we got the tile put down which is great progress and it looks beautiful. The terrible part is, I have to wait 3 days before even walking in there because the grout has to dry! It's driving me crazy not to have my own bathroom. I also won't have my toilet back until the grouts dry. Let me tell you, I'll pick that heavy ass toilet up myself and screw it in the floor if I have to! lol It'll be a huge stress relief when we're done there.
-THE PAINT BITCH-
Then I'll be re-painting my bedroom walls which are pink, and half still blue. Remember me telling you about the no good, expensive paint I bought? Well I took yall's advice! I contacted Valspar, the paint brand and left them a very kind, apologetic letter and they replied with an e-mail saying they were glad I came forward with the bad paint and didn't just let my money go to waste. It was a very kind letter & they told me to print the letter & make sure Lowe's gives me no problem on getting my refund.
I walked in Lowe's and had the paint can and letter in my hand. There were 2 employees standing at the door & I held the can of paint up and before a single word came from my mouth she snatched the paint right out of my hand & looked over at who I assumed to be a manager & said "She's trying to return this paint, but there's nothing hardly left in it! Then she literally flung the can to the manager and said "eew!" While giving me the worst you're so terrible look.
The manager said "Come with me, I'll get this taken care of for you." & I could tell she was a little upset with the paint can bitch because she stormed off and gave her a look that said I'll be having a chat with you young lady! So I thanked the manager a million times and while we we're following her to get the new paint I leaned in really close to the paint can bitch and said "Bitch." Really slow and smiling! Ha! Yall didn't know I could be so catty huh? Lol. I was shocked even myself, but hey, I'd had enough trouble lately.
So I apologized for causing any inconvenience to the manager and she told me that she had the same problem with that paint when she used the red. She said it was the worst paint she'd ever seen. So she knew that I wasn't trying to get something for free.
And seriously little miss paint can bitch, the paint can WAS nearly empty because I had to use that much to know whether or not it'd cover! I left an inch in the can when I realized it wouldn't. So in case you're wondering, I say little miss paint can bitch can hang it in her ass!
Needless to say I was more than greatful to the manager for being so understanding and really I'm never ever rude. I mean saying bitch wasn't nice, but I don't get rude unless someone just completely disrespects me like that and still I rarely get rude when that does happen. I just wasn't gonna take it that day.
Can ya blame me?
*Just to let you know, I will be doing my best to post a little something better than what I have lately with all the remodelling & my mom being robbed at gun point and my migraine is getting worse as I type. BC powder to the rescue! And to any of you who commented and I haven't gotten back to, please forgive me. I will do so asap. Much Much love my little sparkly rockstars (I think I like that one. lol)*
PS. I have several of my tips coming up for yall this week. I'll probably post randomly, whenever is convenient. Please let me know what you think of them. One is tips of recycling. Sorry to dissapoint. lol It's interesting though. Promise.
