Ok

Ok, so there's a clothing line that goes by Influence-Clothing, so I'll have to tweak the name a bit,
I'll get back to you about this.
Stay tuned,

New Leaf

Like the new blog layout? I needed to change things up a bit, as I'm taking a break from intensive writing, to pick up an old love.
 Do any of you remember Influence Clothing? That line I tried to make back when I was impatient and naive? Ha! Still am, but I'm learning to slow down and complete all the steps necessary to create a beautiful, finished product. Hell, I still have the business credit card, might as well use it.
 So, since my future mother-in-law has bought me a dress mannequin--and I'm super excited about using it!--Influence Clothing will begin once again.
  I've been thinking about what niche I want to conquer first. I would love to make jackets- both functional and dress. However, since I'm months away from having finished products, it makes sense to work on summer clothes. Which in turn, means (mostly) easier and less fabric *smirk*.
 So I'm going to start with skirts. It would be fun to make frilly short skirts that I personally would never wear but are nice to look at. I'm more of a long, pencil skirt type of girl.
  Ok, so I'll post more information as I come up with it.
 Thank you for stopping by!

Sunday

T minus 2 hours and I'm restless

Ready to get back to focus

And straight laced intentions

Herding people like sheep

Without them knowing it

Papers tick tick tick out

Of the machine that holds

Lives in its mechanics

Secrets spill out in my hands

I read all about their struggles

And I wonder at their resilience

Then check them off my list

And we'll never meet. 

Happy Sunday!

Good morning, all you lovelies out there! I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend, maybe with some reading? Of the paranormal type? Hmm?

 I am dealing with a bit of a headache right now, that I believe is caused by the amount of alcohol I might have consumed last night. A strong cup of coffee will probably take care of it, after copious amounts of water.

We had A's company Christmas party last night at the casino, plenty of shmoozing and good food. I thought my hooker heels would have been too much (Guess 5"ers, love them!) but then every bitch there had sky high heels on so I felt a little dumpy in my flats.

Two wardrobe facts that I have discovered along my journey of Full Time Adult Work Schedule, is
a) I might wear a size 8 in jeans, but with dress pants I wear a size 6, so that the pants sit above my hips and saggy butt is eliminated,
and
b) when buying pumps and any leather/leatherette shoes, buy 1/2 size smaller than you normally wear, cuz them dem babies are going to stretch like a bitch. I now have a pair of dress flats and a pair of pumps that are too big. Awesome.

I've been having a small creative dilemma the last couple of weeks. A few days after I published The Awakening, it occurred to me that while yes, Book 2 needs to be worked on, but technically, I've got a little bit of freedom to explore my other creative desires.
I would still love to make my own clothing line, and I heard that a certain mother-in-law might have purchased me a mannequin to help that along.
  I would also like to get back into painting, something I did when I was a teenager and I wasn't too bad, if I do say so myself.
  I just haven't been feeling the writing bug lately; I've got the first couple of chapters of Book 2 of The Broken Bloodlines series sketched out, but the urge isn't there. I'm still looking for it.

Any of you out there that read The Awakening, would you please leave me a review? Even just a short comment, I want your feedback!!
Love yall,
KelBel
