Day 5...I am addicted to nail art!!

There..I said it...out loud...in a public-ish forum!!  I am addicted to nail art.  I've worn freakishly long acrylic nails for years.  Paid out the nose for them too.  Then it occurred to me one day that I could do them myself...how hard could it be? *L*  So I've been doing my own nails for about 6 or 7 years!  It's way cheaper and I don't have to explain to the lady that YES I do want them that long....and YES I can function properly with them that long....and YES I can type, tie my shoes, put on jewelry and open pop cans with them that long!!  *L*
My thoughts on it is...the longer, the flashier, the trashier, the brighter the better!!!  And since no one in the small town I live in is willing to do my nails the way I want them I started hand painting them myself!!

The only downside is that my friends and daughters now want their nails done all the time...so I suffer from burn out from time to time which means that my own nail maintenance falls to the wayside.

Oops...missed a day!

Well then.  I already missed a day of my "I'm going to blog everyday"!  *L*  I was otherwise occupied in the craftroom.  I made myself a denim mini-skirt out of a pair of jeans that I've never worn....I LOVE it!!  I haven't worn a mini skirt since I was in high school, and that was quite some time ago, let me tell you.  *L*
I worked on my 40's-ish overalls....they were an epic failure.  Despite measuring the crotch was too short so it ... um....rode up??  *L*  It was soooo not flattering!  However, I am determined to make a pair of overalls that I can wear...so I will use the disaster as a learning experience and I will measure twice this time.  Fortunately I have a lot of this beige material.  The silhouette of the overalls looks good, so I'm happy with they idea of the pattern I made...just needs some modifications.

I did manage to make an appointment for a haircut.  Can't get in until December 21.  The girl who cuts my hair is great and always always booked for weeks.  But it's worth the wait.  I also managed to get a few Christmas presents sewn AND I managed to give myself a fresh new manicure!!
