Clicky-links of coveting

[cupcake_goth]

Not that I'm going to purchase any of these, but goodness, they're pretty. I blame charmingmonstrs for linking to them.

The main EGL brand I covet stuff from is the Alice and the Pirates line from Baby The Stars Shine Bright. (Yes, I have a huge weakness for pirate lolita, which probably can be traced directly back to my crush on Adam Ant.) Which is why mini tricorn hats with large bows (clicky-link!) and Victorian pirate button boots (another clicky-link!) make me go "Oooooh, wanty!"

(I do SO need more mini tricorns and top hats. I DO. Do not argue with me.)

Dear Sandy Claws, I have been very very good this year. Please bring me lots of cute hats. Which, you must admit, are a much more reasonable request than my annual pleas for an arc welder.

Love, Cupcake Goth.

Very few homes have actually been set on fire with an arc welder. That's one of those misunderstood fictions...

Arc welding machines are pretty easy to use, though mastery of making a good bead with proper penetration and not melting all the way through takes a while.

Oxyacetylene is a nice home set-up, too, since you can also use it as a cutter and for heating metal for bending and working.

Tim has both out in the garage. Since we bought the house I'll be willing to pay to have the right power lines run out tehre now so he can use the arc machine.

I'll just nod and say "us too!"

D has a mig welder (that we fell in love because of. Re-swoon.) and a scratch welder (not recommended) and an oxy-acetylene set up. If you get serious about wanting to learn, let us know. :-)
