HOT PINK
Originally uploaded by Majesty.

Who would have thought that one color could make me so happy? I have been re-united with my PFAFF, and are spending nights deeply and madly in love. I decided that I must try my Annie Oakly design with pink and red, and I love the results. My sewing machine runs better than ever, and the experts got the squeak out too. Bonus! Even though it's not a JUKI....... sob. It will do.

Takes me back....

This afternoon I was channel flipping, and guess what I saw? The Hilarious House of Frightenstein! It completely took me back in time. I remember watching this when I was very young... maybe 5 years old. Periodically through the years, I have asked anyone if they remember "those green guys" from when we were kids, but almost no one remembers them! Outrage! I realize that lots of parents would censor the T.V, but it is so sad to see great cult shows like that go UN-watched. But- rejoice! They are releasing the show on dvd, and you can buy it at amazon.com. The great thing about this show, is that it is completely Canadian. It included the late Vincent Price as a guest star, who would do single takes, and Billy Van, who played how many characters? More than 9, as well as "The Count". The most interesting thing about this show, is that it wasn't shot in sequence... it was shot in "characters". Billy would play one character for a few weeks, and then move onto the next character. Which explains why there was no actual theme from show to show. Just randomness. I love it!

Amazing Technicolor Dream Vinyl?

I have been making vinyl bags for a few years now, and I have always hit a snag when it comes to finding all the colors I want. Fabric lands just don't sell hot pink and lime green vinyl. I also shop at Marshals which has a bigger and better selection, at prices that I can afford. But they don't always have every color in stock at all times. Kind of a hit or miss situation. So... we did some research on the Internet and a Vinyl goods company contacted me and re-directed me to J.Ennis Fabrics on the north side of Edmonton. How lucky that they are 10 minutes away! They have every single color that exists.... all the hot pinks and aquas and violets I want. The only catch is that at wholesale prices, its still more than double what Marshall's charges. I just don't think it's fair... If anything, I think it should be less. I need to investigate this more.  On the good side though, I managed to get some great deals on hardware. I found every part that I needed for messenger bags, also MAN BAGS. I would recommend J.Ennis to anyone who wants a great deal!

Don't mess with me.

So.... last night I had a dream. I dreamed that I was on vacation. Not somewhere hot, or terribly exciting. Probably somewhere like London or Kentucky. On my vacation I went to the Marble Slab Creamery. Not just once, but three times! The first time I picked out my ice cream, and paid for it. But then they wouldn't give it to me! Outrage! So, I went to a different Marble Slab. The same thing happened. By this time I think that I am getting really desperate..... by the time I got to the third Marble Slab I was mad. I picked out my Ice cream, my Mix-ins... paid for it, and then.... they go and give it to someone else! Outrage! So, then I just grabbed it out of (insert offenders name here) they're hands and ran out. Seriously... whoever actually dreams about ice cream? It's a first for me. But anyone who makes anything with peanut butter in it is my new best friend......  ... .

Always me.....

So it was Thursday night. At approximately 9:30 pm. When I sewed the wrong way through a zipper. And broke my sewing machine. Or course I was only half-way done through an order. That was due at 8:30 the next morning. I thought, hey, I have my spare machine. Ooops, that's broken too. Should have gotten it fixed. Sigh. What's a girl to do?

Here is a picture of some very happy hands, holding they're new Majesty Change Purse. This is from the "Calamity Jane" western series, in chocolate brown and rusty red. About 6-7 months ago I had the opportunity to actually borrow some quite expensive cowboy/girl boots. I had said that I wanted to examine the stitching, and as I got up close and personal with these boots... I realized that I was out of my league! I don't know if my little M achine would ever forgive me for trying to duplicate the stitching on those boots, but this is my take on it. Hope you like!!!
