Life as we know it

Hey there!

Wow....I haven't updated in that long?!
I guess life just keeps you busy at times...heh
Or laziness gets the best of me.

Where do I start?
I'm still working at Nice N'Easy. I'm a shift manager now. Its an ok job, I don't hate it, I don't love it.
I don't make enough money, still under $10/hr which sucks.
I tried selling prints of my artwork on etsy.com but I just don't have the time to devote myself to that fulltime.
Lately, I haven't been drawing like I should be. I go through phases where I am crazy motivated and others where I could care less.
I've also wanted to do something with fashion for awhile but I kind of put it on hold. Anyone that knows me, knows that I'm obsessed with fashion.
So I got inspired, for now I'm going to start customising clothes. I want to get the point where I can make my own from scratch but I can't get ahead of myself.

Yesterday I went out to Rome and Utica and bought lots of supplies. Ribbons, buttons, fabric, you name it.
I'm really excited to get started on this! I'm going to sell my custom pieces (as well as my prints) on etsy.com
You would actually be surprised at how much people will pay for custom clothing!
I'm going to model my clothing as well. I'm gonna call my line "Icespectra".
Didn't see that one coming do you? haha
But really, Icespectra has been with me for so long, I use it for everything, it really defines who I am.

This time in life is so confusing, trying to figure out what to do.
I sort of want to go back to college but I just don't see how that is a possibility anymore. I have bills now, car payment, car insurance, phone bill and college bill. I need to be able to pay for those things, most importantly the car bills. I just don't see how its possible when your in school.
If I was to go back I would probably go for fashion design and buisness.
I still want to do my art, don't get me wrong, but I want to do something with fashion too.
If God wants me to go back to school then he will make it happen.
I love this feeling of inspiration!
