CRAFTS

I made some stuff!  I made a fringe scarf, and a circle vest!  I'm proud of myself for actually making some projects.  As soon as I take some pictures, I will put them up here.

Bro to Hoe Ratio

Boys are moving into this house left and right.  Quentin has a girlfriend here some times so that doubles the number of girls.  I'm going to have to get used to always putting the toilet seat down, washing dishes, drinking shitty beer, not being able to complain about menstrual cramps, protein shake mix cluttering the kitchen, dudes never shutting the door when they pee, fart jokes, boob jokes, cock jokes, and I think testosterone in general.  This should be pretty interesting.

Charles Bukowski

I had a dream a few nights ago that Charles Bukowski was going to kill me.  Now I'm intrigued to read some of his work.

Inspired!

I found a project I want to do!  This is such a cute, simple pattern, and I'm pretty into vests right now!

I think I'm going to make this project, but rather than just do a circle, I want to elongate the bottom and have two rounded edges, so that it looks like a vest with TAILS!  How sick would that be?  If that wasn't crazy enough, I'm thinking about putting a lining in it, and make it dun da dunnnn, REVERSIBLE!!

My first step will be finding fabric, which is tough when you don't have a vehicle, but I have a ton of fabric at home, and a boyfriend who can act as a delivery service.  I'm going to talk to my mom about sending up some fabric with him, because I'm tired of not doing work.

And they're off!  Wish me luck, and I'll post some photos of it when I'm finished!

What a day

Today, I was certainly kept busy at the Sewing School where I am interning. I took photos of some consignment items that will be sold on the web, I helped to clean out and organize one of the sewing rooms, and I sat in on a fashion illustration lesson.  It inspired me to start drawing again!  Practice makes everything better, and maybe I can develop my drawing style a little more and become comfortable with my skills.

I better start editing the photos of the clothes for the website.  I decided to do a few artsy shots (and I mean very few).  I just want to get more accustomed to my camera.  Here's one of the artsy shots I took.

So it begins

I've decided to start this year off on the right foot.  Literally!  I'm right handed and I've found through dancing that I'm also right footed.  A blog seems like a nice way to discipline myself.

I found this old picture yesterday.  It was taken by my good friend, Sara.  She's a very inspirational person to me.  It would be thrilling to be that inspirational to someone.  So here it goes...
