Leather Masks and Armor [Akhenaten]

Ok now I want to make Leather masks (oh so many ideas!!!) and body armor...

There are some really neat videos on youtube about making them.

Leather Craft [Akhenaten]

So while Scott does all the programming stuff I do BDSM stuff. Well lately I've been obsessing over creating my own leather toys, tools, and such. I've been working on some name tags for my girls so that others can have a bit of a clue as to who is out when we are playing.

Well now I've found this video that gives me TONS of ideas.

I might need to start going to cons... LOL


One plus side to me not having a working computer at work is that I've been able to watch lots of leather crafting videos while I've been waiting. One guy is making guitar straps. Living in Nashville I've thought about making some different ones to sell. Maybe a store like Karma would sell them for me or something. So many directions to take that. But I have too many other projects to work on so I'm not going to go this direction right now. But could be a little money maker.

Along those lines I've thought about making bdsm toys locally. There aren't any craftspeople selling locally. Maybe sell to the shops? But again I don't have time.

Well today our work computer showed up after being re-imaged. So my time is gone now... So we'll shift back to Scott getting the day time again. He simply makes more than I ever could doing this.

More ok than not... :)

Now that the new work is leveling out and there is more routine my mind is doing a lot better. We love having down time, but looking for work really isn't down time... It was super stressful. We are doing a lot better now that we have a job.

Mostly happy. Standard frustrations of how to keep a relationship alive with girl #1 due to her being sick all the time. And frustrations around not having time to run a business and do projects and such.

I've been doing some leather crafting projects. I'm enjoying it. Looking to learn the biker patch style. of course most of the videos I can find are Western Sheridon style. But lots of knowledge to be gleamed from those. It's like learning Spirituals to learn the Blues. Close but not the same.

Last night Rachel and Scott were kind of co-sharing. Scott was surprised when he noticed our body kissing down girl #2's body. We are ok with what happened, but were a little surprised by the not knowing ahead.

Time to get a different vehicle... AC in my truck is still not working after re-charging it. There are mechanical problems. The other truck is broken down too. So both are limping along... So that is a stress.

How are we laid out?

Yesterday someone was asking me about how many personalities I have. We have that detailed in the "Da System" link at the top. That covers most of it. But it lead me to think about it a bit.

A while back we created a castle to have a grand meeting room to aid in conversations. I also see beast, eva, and puppies are in their own encampment outside of the castle. And Mr. Pier seems to have come from a debtors prisen where there is a massive group locked up. I got to thinking about the scenery around these. I used to think they were from very different time periods but the more I look at it the less time distinction I can see. odd...

Then of course there are those that are so far outside of this world like the indian boy and his village. There is Scotty that went and hid at our 5th birthday party.
there is Sarah that suddenly showed up one day and seems to live down the hall way kind of near Scotty in our brain, not the castle.

It's a big mix...


We just role with it. But when we stop to think about it then it's kind of weird. LOL

Fiddle [Sarah]

Fuck ya! Finally got my fiddle a couple weeks ago. It made be a cheap ass electric one but that is cool.

In a rare working together Scott helped me get some software on the phone for tuning. We'll see how close my memory was when I tuned it.


Being out sucks I'm outahere!

"Don't Leave the Buckets Out With The Blades In It"

Yesterday everything was fine. But the closer to home I got the more and more pressure there was in my head. I knew that sensation it is the "I'm going to shift to someone else" pressure. But we fought it and fought it because we had dinner to make and work to do. And a project to work on. And we were switching between the main three no problem so what the hell?! And we were cranky and grumpy and we were aware of it and couldn't stop it. We even commented on how our reactions were out of perporsion to the stimulus.

We went to bed. Had fun sex. Ending with Beast out. Still ok but our left arms was kind of numb and the pressure in our head wasn't stopping.

Then all hell broke loose. We started seeing scenes of a mental ward public area. We kept refocusing on a table with a bucket with blades in it. And this phrase kept playing over and over, "don't leave the buckets out with the blades in it." over and over and over. [Large sour cream container with stake knives standing vertically in it in a circle but not falling to the side of the container for support...] We almost said it out loud but were afraid of what would happen and worked on pushing it away. Failed... We suddenly switched over to someone new - well that isn't quite right. I'll get to that. He took quick notice of girl 2 being in bed with him and started playing with her. Odd thing. When he moved towards her head the brighter and "higher feeling" things got and he came out stronger. As he moved down her body things darker and it was harder to hold the front position. A bunch of us were pulling on him to pull him back in. Suddenly we switched to Scotty and there was a huge pain in the back of our right eye. To him it felt like the bad man had stabbed him in the eye from the back as he went in. He'd used a knife from the bucket to get free... He was put back in his cage or room.... Scotty mentioned how he'd forgotten about this nightmare. None of us can remember anything about this. So is this someone new? Someone old we'd walled up in the past? Either way he definitely scared even Mike.  From there we spun around to a bunch of different people and shook a lot. And internally cried ourselves to sleep...

Morning. Depressed. Just don't care it's time for work. Forced us up...  Here we sit...

While driving in to work I popped into the meeting room in the castle and there were hundreds of new faces... There is is some battles going on trying to get them back to the cages where they live. We are scared about what that means. That is the debtors prison area. And now that I have this new job maybe it is safe to left them be free... But... We have a fine balance and don't want it upset. Old work did that for us already though....


Because I needed a breakdown right now....   ughhh

My eye is still a bit sore... I wonder if physically a blood vessel popped while we were switching. Looking in the mirror I don't see anything wrong though. Aches like it used to when I was six and seven, before I got glasses.
