Zippers?

I recently acquired some great fabric, which I think I will be turning into purses. Only, I can’t find a decent place to buy zippers! I’d go to the local Joann’s Fabric, but due to my not having a car and the bus not running in that direction, I’m stuck. I think I’ll be forced to buy my zippers and such offline. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I can buy them in bulk? Or maybe, a sampler package of sorts with all sorts of colors?

I’m Baaaaaaaack….

So, I  haven’t made ANY post since last year. Shame on me. But then again, no one even READS this blog, so I don’t think anyone will mind. I’ll try to keep it short, since I have a million things I want to talk about. One thing I should definitely go over are my new years resolutions.

1. Blog at least once a week. Its healthy for me to record my thoughts and experiences. I think.
2. Establish and start building a portfolio that consists of good quality work, worthy of being presented to a college or job interview. This basically means no more messing around, and to really crack down and do some serious art. 
3. Make something. Preferably, many somethings. I’ve had my Etsy shop for months now, and haven’t put even one thing up for sale. Poo on me. I need to get over my fear of selling things, and possibly suck it up and ask someone about the basics of selling and sending things by internet/postage.
4. Get in shape. I don’t say lose weight, because thats silly, and I’d rather be in shape than skinny as a rail. This means stretching and yoga in the morning, running/swimming, etc. People say I’m already in great shape, but I know that I could be better, and I’d like to get rid of the extra pudge before I don a two-piece swimsuit again.

Next, a meme, just cause I’ve never done one before. 

• Diamonds or pearls: I’d say diamonds, but then I realize that I don’t own any. (its all crystal) So, I’ll say pearls. I used to hate them, but I realized that when worn properly they are very femme fatale.
• The last movie I saw: Seven Pounds. I cried.
• My favorite TV show: LOST. Hands down. I can’t get enough of it. Also, NCIS, CSI, Law & Order, and Joan of Arcadia.
• My breakfast: I do protein and fruit smoothies, because its the fastest thing I can whip up while I’m running out the door!
• My second first name: Nathalie. No, its not a typo. My mom spelled it with ‘th’. 
• Food I don’t like: tomatoes, mushrooms, and avocados. Blegh.
• My favorite first name at the present time: Hmm… Iris, Antoinette, Reese (for a boy) and Jennifer
• Character trait I don’t like: Arrogance. I can’t stand people who are stuck up, and flaunt the fact that they know they are stuck up. Surprisingly, (to me, at least) this is how people perceive me when we first meet. Then they just realize I’m antisocial. 
• A place I would like to fly to: top choices are Japan, France, and Australia. 
• Where I’d like to retire: Somewhere quiet and secluded, but within an hour’s drive of somewhere wild and busy.
• Chocolate or vanilla: vanilla! There’s so many ways to dress it up.
• The last person I talked to on the phone: Tabitha. Who told me she couldn’t find the phone. Figures.
• Sweet or salty: Sweet like Nutella. Always.
• Favorite day of the week: Fridays! Not for the reason you’d think, though. I don’t really have a school schedule or work, so its not like ‘whoo! I don’t have to be busy!’ Its just… a very balanced day, for me. Not the weekend, but not exactly a weekday, either. Its that day where you start getting exited.
