Want, Need, Gift two

This week, I need:




A new nose ring. I'll settle for a titanium retainer (1) but I'd really love to buy a nice clicker from Industrial Strength (2). Both of these are pictured from Body Art Forms but are made by Industrial Strength. And I say I need a new nose ring because I'm down to two very bad quality ones and that just won't do.

I Want:

These absolutely stunning Goldstone teardrop plugs with lab made opal inlays made by Heartonsleevejewelry. Drool worthy amirite?

I wish I could Gift:


Every time I see these Pear cut navel bars I think of Ashley. I don't know what she'd like but in my head I'd get her the Citrine one on the right and have it anodized *which means have the titanium turned a color* ice blue or fuchsia. These navel bars are made by Anatometal and the picture is from Body Art Forms.

Well I guess this week turned into a body jewelry Want, Need, Gift. I hope you liked it!
Love and Turtledoves,

Liebster Award

Yesterday I came home from work to find Taylor of A Typical Taylor has given me a Liebster award. From what I understand it's a cute blogging way to bring attention to small blogs, so it's totally cool! Here are the rules:


1. List 11 facts about yourself

2. Answer the 11 questions the blogger who nominated you left

3. Ask 11 questions for those you nominate

4. Choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers to nominate

5. Go to each blogger's page and let them know about the award

6. Thank the person who nominated you and link back to their blog

Facts:

1. I am a bathoholic. On my days off I like to take a bath early and read, maybe enjoy a Lush bomb and then when I have to go out later I'll take a shower and actually get ready for my day.

2. I currently have 6 piercings. 3 in my ear, 1 in my face, and 2 body piercings. I'm planning to get another body piercing this year and if I had a better job I'd get my nostrils pierced too.

3. Almost all the cats I've ever had have been named after food stuffs. Muffin, Cupcake, Oreo, and Strudle.

4. My favorite video game system is the N64. My favorite game series' are The Legend of Zelda, Little Big Planet, and Paper Mario.

5. Unlike most other 19 year olds (nearly 20 year olds) I don't really like to drink, I hardly party, and I truly like being at home alone.

6. My favorite book series are Thomas Harris' books: Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal and Hannibal Rising. They're awful and amazing at the same time, I've read them twice so far. 

7. I'm awful at remembering to dye my hair, pluck my eyebrows, and paint my nails. 

8. My ideal day is a day of sewing/painting/drawing followed by a yummy dinner with my love and cuddling up to sleep with him and Muffin. We're a snuggly house.

9. I don't like loud noises. I hate the vacuum, the washer, the dryer, etc etc. It's just such an annoyance that usually when I do the wash I go into the other room and try to ignore it as much as possible.

10. My love for body modification is new but passionate. I want to be the person I feel like I am inside. I love every type of modification: tattoos, piercings, scarification, branding, implants, transdermals you name it.

11. The old I become the more socially anxious I am. After working 40 hours a week around too many people I just stay home on my days off.

Questions:

1. What is your most prized possession?
My most prized possession I'd say would be my Macbook. It's my business tool, my entertainment, my liiiiffeeee.
2. Describe the moment you finally felt alive.
I don't think it's just one day for me. I think it's this last year. I moved to another state, got a job, got an apartment, and have become an adult.
3. If you could run away tomorrow to anywhere in the world, where would you choose?
I'd take my man and we'd run home to California. Family is everything.

Want, Need, Gift

I've thought that while everyone does cute lists of things they love on the internet, I'd add my own lists with a touch for a friend. I'll list two things I Want & Need as well as something I saw for something who is close to me. Fun right!

Want:
Red pull on Jeggings from Wet Seal.

Need:

A new skirt for work from H&M. They're only six dollars! 
*Side note: I wouldn't mind that top too much either!*

Gift:

I saw this on Fred Flare this morning and instantly thought of my tattoo artist, Alex! She loves domos and this is just the cutest.

I hope you like my new feature!
Love and Turtledoves,
Jacqueline

My 1st Fuzzybot to a 1st Birthday

While living in Vegas, can you believe I've been here a whole year(!) WOAH, I have gained a few close friends. One of them is a lovely lady I work with named Liz, she's bossy and funny and I love her for it. She has a little man named Arix who turned one on Sunday and I created a brand new Lovebot just for his sweet face.


I had a ton of fun working on this guy. Minus the fur all over my desk YIKES! I didn't have a straight razor so I had to use scissors, next time it'll be a straight razor because it will only cut the backing of the fur. He was super cute and soft and I loved him so much I almost wanted to keep him. Almost.

Love and Turtledoves,
Jacqueline

A Tiny Bot is the Road to a Woman's Heart

One of my favorite things about my tiny shop is the way people use my creations. Many of my dolls have been presents, one has sat at a wedding for an out of country friend, and now I have sold a customer Lovebot for a proposal.

When I was contacted about this sweet order I jumped on it right away, they contacted me saying they wanted the same Lovebot I have pictured for my Customer Nerdbot, but smaller. After some measuring, I made a sweet 10" Nerdbot!




He's pretty cute if I say so myself!
Love and Turtledoves,
Jacqueline
