I just wanted to post on here that I have opened an Etsy shop:
www.etsy.com/shop/ShopOfPlague…

Hey, it's me again. Sorry it has been while since I have posted a journal up, but I'd like to say thank you to everyone that has watched me, faved anything of mine, and say thank you to all of your kind words.

    Today I made a new arm bracer but I won't be able to take pictures of it until tomorrow; too dark. I really like this bracer because the wrist part can move up and down, unlike any of my previous ones could.

    I haven't been able to make anything in awhile because I have been working on a costume that I'm going to wear to a steampunk festival. At this time, I maybe making my mom a dress to wear there, too.

-That's all the news I have for you guys. Thanks for reading ^_^

So, today I was going to clean out the pool like I do every day. I got the net thingy and started to fish out the bugs that drown in the water when suddenly I spotted a large black thing floating in the water. Thinking it was a leaf I went to get it out. When I had pulled it out I realized it wasn't a leaf, it was a bat! I have decided that I want to keep it and dry it out. Now my question for you guys, do I take out the organs or leave them in? Do I take them out before drying or after? I couldn't find it anywhere on the web, so could someone help me?

I thought that I'd give you guys an update because I haven't made one in a while. Do any of you remember that renaissance coat that I was going to make? Well, it's not really renaissance anymore. I kept changing things on the coat's design and it's more Victorian than renaissance. I have the pattern made and the fabric bought. All I need to do is get the foot for my sewing machine; I have no idea how long that's going to take. I'm also helping a friend of mine make a renaissance styled dress. We when today and got fabric for that too. We still need to get ribbon for the two pieces.
That's all I have to say for now. ^_^
