I mean come on winter is total crap. But I always get really conflicted in early spring, I've just spent four months basically hibernating and being generally grumpy and April, especially, just slaps me in the face and asks me where I've been, what I've been doing with my life. "You remember all that stuff you bookmarked and told yourself you were going to do but never got around, well get up and do it", April yells. </div><div><br /></div><div>So I feel both guilty for letting April down, but also really happy it's here kicking my butt cause then I make stuff like floating islands!</div><div><br /></div><div>These did not come from my brain.

I feel like it jinxes them, cause I'm kinda crazy, but about two months ago I applied for a trade name and last week I got the letter saying it was all official! Yay!! <br /><br />So now I'm officially a sole proprietor, meaning I am the only person responsible for all the stuff my business does cause I'm the only one in it. I am crazy nervous about starting a business, mainly cause I'm pretty sure I will screw something up at some point. There's a lot of paperwork and information flying around that I need to keep track of. Scary stuff, but sole proprietorship is pretty low key compared to any of the other options and it'll be a nice way for me to get a feel for running a business and keeping track of all this stuff. <br /><br />If you curious about starting a sole proprietorship here's what I've done so far. I'm not sure what the rules are for other states, but all you need to do in Maryland is apply for a trade name, it could be your own name or some other name of your choosing. You can check ahead of time to see if the name you want is taken, as well as print out the application you'll need to fill out at the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation. From there you can mail it in with 25 dollars and wait the six to eight weeks for approval or turn it in in person and get approval right away, that it will cost an extra 50 dollars though as it's considered expedited. <br /><br />Now I need to go talk to the IRS and get what is essentially a social security number for my business, register for all my tax stuff and get a business license. I'll let you know how that goes once finished.Forayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04531298627219835322noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446683792328857087.post-60795219711729197202011-03-10T21:17:00.004-05:002011-03-10T23:02:15.077-05:00Pwerple.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbLbWzIsztyLgBsknuT-FYJqkEFYhn8NKecb7mFwwh0sMl7KOEZC1EdUrv0OjyIf7si4_0gwYw4hb1Z1dlJHbaDVQ_trg5-CVXfiKPfHT59jnE_ZOedglMYIuITZjUxqn0SV3gp4GoVhwx/s1600/IMG_4384.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbLbWzIsztyLgBsknuT-FYJqkEFYhn8NKecb7mFwwh0sMl7KOEZC1EdUrv0OjyIf7si4_0gwYw4hb1Z1dlJHbaDVQ_trg5-CVXfiKPfHT59jnE_ZOedglMYIuITZjUxqn0SV3gp4GoVhwx/s320/IMG_4384.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5582649904998991138" /></a><br /><br />This is what I've been working on. This dress was much harder to sew than I expected it to be, which is why it took me so long. It turned out well, though the hem is giving me problems now so I'mma lay the smack down on those hopefully next week. As well as some boring business-like things. <br /><br />Speaking of business-like things I mailed out the form to secure the name I would like for my fancy business. I haven't heard anything back, but it always takes approximately 12 years for paperwork to get sorted out. Not worried yet, but you'll know when I am. <br /><br />In the mean time I've got a birthday party to go to and friends to see this weekend.

Little did I know when I started at the beginning of this week that by the end my soul would be gone. Poof! <div><br /></div><div>A footnote on my experience, it's recommended to have a mannequin or at least something people shaped. This also removes a step at the beginning. </div><div><br /></div><div>What is recommended*: </div><div> </div><div>1- Design a piece of clothing. Preferably something within your means of doing. </div><div>2- Drape fabric to get the desired look. Pin in place. </div><div>3- Cut fabric. </div><div>4- Lay out fabric pieces on pattern paper, trace. Add pattern shapes and lingo. </div><div>5- Celebrate</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >*- This is highly abbreviated. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >What I did*:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >1- Take my measurements. Feel accomplished, go to sleep.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >2- Use 'How To Make Sewing Patterns**' to learn how to make draw out a pattern. Take a nap.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >3- Wake up. Compare pattern to my body.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >4- Pin the pattern to fabric anyway and improvise. This is how I role.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >5- Pin and Sew. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >*- Again, highly abbreviated.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >**- This book is amazing. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" >I took a few liberties. In general it worked, it's not the best method or the most efficient and hopefully for my sake I get better at it. The best thing I can suggest is to buy the book I mentioned above. It gives a great overview of shaping fabric on a body and the basics of pattern making. One small word about the book is that's it's old, 70's old. So it's pretty much ancient technology. But for serious, because it's older the style of the patterns he lays out are slightly outdated. As long as you go in knowing that going in, it's no big deal.

I get this magical feeling that I'm seeing things I wouldn't have otherwise seen if I had been stuck at the light. Those few moments right after are the best, the sky, the cars everything is new and something I would have never seen before. Not only that but it pushes your whole world forward, for the rest of my life I'm seeing things 30 seconds (maybe more or less depending on the light) before I would normally see them. My whole life is being lived in the future and it rocks!</div><div><br /></div><div>Note: I am not under the influence of any substances.</div>Forayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04531298627219835322noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1446683792328857087.post-87745359176448011532010-11-17T10:14:00.003-05:002010-11-17T10:34:07.807-05:00Poof.I like to disappear for blocks of time. It makes me seem mysterious. <div><br /></div><div>- -- - -- - -- -</div><div><br /></div><div>Hylinn bought a motorcycle way back in June and has been riding it to work ever since he tried to get his brother to teach him how to ride, hit a curb and crashed it. It wasn't anything serious, a sprained wrist and a dented fuel tank. He's since taken a class, passed the test and actually gotten his license. </div><div><br /></div><div>Last Thursday was the first time I rode with him and it is surreal. Riding in a car, to me, is like being in a bubble. For example, I drive my roommate back and forth to work almost everyday, but I've never actually been there, to all the road in between our apartment and the mall. I've never actually set foot on that stretch of land before in my life and still haven't, but riding a motorcycle down that same stretch of road cements everything in my mind. It takes all the pieces I've seen and only just noticed and affixes them there as touchable, real objects and actual space. Definitely not what I was expecting my first time riding. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm not gonna lie, it's scary the first time and probably for awhile after, but I'm not experienced enough to say. </div><div><br /></div><div>Sounds like me and sex.
