Not enough caffeine in the world, today

[cupcake_goth]

Dammit, I slept fine! (Thanks to the miracle of modern pharmacology, but still!) But oh lord, I cannot wake up today. I have had two pots of tea, and have just returned from a walk to get a double-tall iced Americano. Let's hope that finally does the trick.

Soooo, I'm thinking of purchasing a few more replica skeletal hands, to sew on other handbags. I think this is going to be A Thing with me, a skeletal hand with a pink bow on my purse. Because with sunny weather (which we had this weekend) comes the need to carry my sunglasses AND my translucent powder sunblock AND a fan, which means a slightly larger handbag is required. Also, I think that one of my Deborah Lewis handbags with the straps to hold a folding parasol would look quite charming with a skeletal hand on it. I may take photos of the handbags in question to show you peoples and see what you think.

Tonight, I absolutely, no doubt about it, NEED to do writing. I'm behind on my next GCS article. I was going to write this weekend, but looming sinus migraines = words gone.

Hey, Seattle peeps! Is anyone going to the Toy Box Trio & Unwoman show on Thursday night? I need to figure out a carpool option.

...particularly if the hand could be arranged so that it looks like it's holding the parasol. Which is probably your intent, because I have a tendency to state the obvious.

I did think of that, but the mechanics of how the loops/straps work to hold the folded parasol won't mesh with the skeletal hand.

just had a flash of inspiration.... What about a pattern of skeletal hands (with pink bows, of course) arranged around the top of a parasol (wrists towards the center top, fingers spread out?

I like this as A Thing for you. I think it makes a very good Thing.

Oooh, I like that idea, but ... hmmm. That would possibly interfere with the opening and closing of the parasol. It would certainly interfere with putting a parasol through the loops on the back of the purses in question.

hmmm... you *have* been getting into embroidery lately... you could embroider them on.

Please may I ask where you found *translucent* powder with spf? I have found several pressed powder compacts with spf but none of them are translucent and all give some sort of color when used.

Thank you:)

Jane Iredale powder sunscreen (http://cgi.ebay.com/Jane-Iredale-Powder-Me-SPF-30-Dry-Sunscreen-/260517066595?cmd=ViewItem&pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ca806f763)! (clicky-link to eBay)

I have been really happy with mine. During the summer, I use it for touch-ups to my face AND to my arms (because I don't really like re-applying sunblock on my arms and getting all sticky.)

Oooo, I like that. I might have to get some the next time I have some spending monies.

Translucent powder sunblock?
Goodness, I need some of that, whatever it is!
It sounds magical, haha.

Add a little fur, a small padlock, and a bit of chain to turn one of the straps into a manacle. :)
