At first my journal wasn't friends only, but I've posted links to it in so many places I'm now a bit worried about who is reading my stuff. So, comment and I will probably add you if we have an interest or two in common. :) And, of course, my icons and such are still public.
If you just want to add me so you can watch my icons, I don't mind. I don't add people back, though, unless they comment.

If you just want to add me so you can watch my icons, I don't mind. I don't add people back, though, unless they comment.
So, I finally got it together and put together a decent batch of icons. We've got some vintage fashion magazines and Beatles icons. I also made a few friends only banners of the Beatles, since people seemed to have liked those.
I don't mind requests on the friends only banners. If you've got a pic that you'd really like to get made into a friends only banner, I don't mind making it. Mind you, I'm not exactly the best at it. :)

My sister took these photos almost a year ago, and I've been meaning to post them for a while somewhere on the Internet, but didn't. So I guess that today is a good day to do it... on LJ. I think I posted my first sewing project on here, but I've sewed quite a lot since then. Anyway, this is only what I sewed from July 2007 (thereabouts) to about March 2008 (that's even more of a guess). I've got about as much that I haven't taken pictures of yet... I'll maybe put that up later.
It's all behind the cut, because its a bunch of really big photos and I don't want to clutter up anyone's friends page.

More icons for you. :) More of the same, I guess, though.

Um, yeah, 75 icons. That's way too much. I knew I'd eventually have to unload all of the pictures I have saved of them.

Wow, I finally was inspired to make more icons. Almost all artsy ones this time, too. :)

As I wanted a new layout, I made a top banner (look up ;D) and 12 friends only banners of the Beatles. I'm back on LJ now, probably because it is finals again and I want to distract myself. Hopefully my new layout will be easier to work with, as my old one kept clashing with my icons.

I've finished these and my finals! :D Very nice. My favourite has to be # 8 (the first teaser). The first three Marie Antoinette ones I accidentally saved as GIFs, so they look really bad.
[6] - Marie Antoinette
[13] - 18th century fashion plates
[6] - Dion Clayton Calthrop
[2] - Regency portraits
[15] - Images from Georgette Heyer novels (also Regency)
[3] - 1940's magazine covers
Teasers:

I made these, slightly humourous, Regency icons a couple of days ago, based on fashion plates. Quite happy with them, I suppose.

Some of these icons were made last night, for my journal characters at
waxes_nostalgic, and others were made a long time ago, but I forgot to put them up. So, I suppose that I better put them up now rather than wait. I should probably also put up my friends only banner so that others can use it, but I think I'll wait until I have DW icons to go with it.

I've needed an icon dump for a while, especially the Doctor Who ones, which I made before Thanksgiving. I made all of the Regency ones last night, when I decided to teach myself textures. It was fun, but maybe I should be a little more restrained in the future. :)
[18] - Doctor Who
[4] - David Tennant
[35] - Regency
[2] - Writers

And the first two Regency ones are also of Keats... but I didn't put them in with the writers ones because I made them with the Regency ones. I made the other Keats one way back in Halloween, for his birthday, but I never got around to posting it. And I made some more icons of Rose, because I have been neglecting her in my icon-making frenzy of the Doctor. :)
( I got you this flower, and, well, I don't really like it, but, it's pretty and since you're pretty too, I thought you might... )

Doctor Who and Pride and Prejudice icons, just as I said...
Just finished making the last of these icons--and no, I haven't written any more. It's very bad of me, but I guess I just wanted to finish these icons and get them posted. And so begins my NaNocrastination.

It must be a sign of my obsession that instead of doing normal human activities I made something like this... Anyway, today is a very special day:

So, today will be filled with Keats biography reading, thoughts about Keats, and thinking about the numbers 25 and 211. He would have been two-hundred and eleven today, if anyone is interested in knowing, if the tuberculosis hadn't gotten him! *cries*
A slightly weird Keats fact: I found a mention of him in a dieting handbook that I'm using in my research paper (on obesity). ( Perhaps a quote would be in order? )
Wow, that was a bizarre rant. And, on a less important note, Happy Hallowe'en everyone!

I decided to post this now, because I don't want to have too many when I post next time. I've got some Doctor Who as well, but I think I'll wait until next time to post them, because I've only got a few. Pride & Prejudice icons upcoming as well...
[30] - Persuasion
[18] - Sense and Sensibility

( I was persuaded not to marry you... )
I think I might be coming down with something, so don't expect many more posts on here soon... Ugh...

Made some icons tonight, and I'm posting them now because my sister is still doing her homework and I won't be able to sleep. I'm tired, though... So, what have I got for you today?
