I {heart} PersephonePlus!

I first encountered this wonderful lady and her dresses a few years ago when I was looking at dress ideas for my wedding (OMG... I looked so different back then!) and I have been drooling over them ever since! Long, flowing, and beautifully Goth. They almost make me wish I had long hair again. Almost. It definitely appeals more to my girly, romantic side, though!

Jhone at PersephonePlus says this on the main page:

"These clothes are designed with the plus sized woman in mind. They are not just scaled up versions of tiny clothes. They fit gracefully, accentuating your curves, and never bind or pull.

Many of the dresses come in a variety of colors and fabrics, and can be custom altered to suit your taste regarding length and style of sleeve."

While I love velvet, I am so glad you can choose a slinky knit as well. I have 4 cats and, well, there are not enough lint rollers in the world to manage velvet.

Unfortunately, as much as I love, love, LOVE her dresses, they are just a bit out of my price range. But, rather than drool on my keyboard, instant gratification is available!

She has accessories on Etsy! (*does a happy Sashi dance*)

I've already gotten a couple of things from her, actually. In real life, this ring looks just like a plain purple stone unless the light hits it just right and then you see this wonderful surprise.



I also got these super cute earrings. I rarely wear them as they are almost too girly for me but I get to see them every morning and they make me smile. :)



I also got the female mate to my ring for my sister.



There are a lot of wonderful Goth and steam punk accessories at PersephonePlus.etsy.com and she is always adding new things. I'd say it's a definite must for those who have an affinity for the more romantic side of alternative fashion.

Got something to say? Then I wanna hear it! But if it's mean or an ad that doesn't fit with my blog theme, it may not stay for long. Just sayin'. :) And sorry about the word verification. I'm just tired of spambots invading my happy place. :P

New Apron

Still alive and still cooking A LOT!  The food blog has really taken off which isn't leaving much room for much else.  I really need to get crafty some time soon. But, I did recently find some time to design myself a brand new apron! Here's a more detailed image of my design: At least I am finding ways to combine my 2 passions! :)

Digital Age and Sausage

Wow... 2014 already!  The last of 2013 went by pretty quickly, but I don't know that I have a super lot to show for it. Well, that's not entirely true.  I've been pretty busy with the new site .  I've been having so much fun cooking and I think my photography skills are definitely improving when it comes to that part of the blogging.  I have been doing some creative things as well, though, especially over the last couple of weeks.  I received some money for the holidays and decided to invest in myself by getting a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (the original, not the new model) for the sole purpose of drawing.  I know, I know, it's completely wasting the bells and whistles of the technology, but I did some research and decided it was the best yet economical choice for what I want to do.  And, so far, I am not disappointed. I upgraded my S Pen and it really feels like I am drawing "the old fashioned way."  Even when I sketch out my design first, it looks and

Opinion Needed: Matron of Honor dress

I am so excited! My little sister is getting married in October and I get to be her matron-of-honor for the wedding. :) They are having a small ceremony and she wants a Gothic feel to her wedding so she told me to just get a dress that fits that theme. Heh heh... I can do that! I originally ordered this dress from Roaman's : I thought it was pretty, simple, could easily be "gothed up" and, best of all, it was on sale AND I had a 40% coupon so I got a good deal on it. When I received it, the seams were extremely puckered and the pleating across the bodice hung in a horrible, unflattering way. And it wasn't from me not filling it out! The lining was rather snug across the boobages. So I returned it in exchange for another. The seams were better but I still had the same issue with the pleating. So I've decided to make my own. Here are my plans. :) And yes, that is indeed TV dinner paper that I wrote on. If you click here , you will see my wedding dress which uses the
