right now, i'm kind of procrastinating. i know i should get to work sewing, but i don't know what to make that would top the awesomeness of the last piece i did yesterday:



maybe you guys are tired of my sewing--TOO BAD. i love doing this shit, and have been doing it to the exclusion of other things, like hanging out with my friends (sorry friends). oh, and!! i made a coupon for my etsy shop in case any of my sg-friends would like to make a purchase!! my shop is here: dove grey dawn and the coupon code is sgirls, good for 10% off.

happenings this week in my world:
♥ had a really lovely supper party with lavonne and her gentleman. i made tortillas, fried faux chicken and salsas and she provided the strong-ass drinks.

♥ i sewed 10 or so pieces and watched the last half of season one of dexter, at the waterfront (young marlon brando! yum), machete (SO GOOD!! give me a piece of michelle rodriguez please and thank you) and the first few episodes of season one of buffy. did you guys know that dexter's girlfriend rita is a vampire on buffy? FOR REAL!! she's darla!!! and claire's loser boyfriend (six feet under) is in the first few eps of buffy, too. yes, i realise no one else cares about this shit, but i'm a nerd and i've been spending a lot of time alone with my cats. I HAVE TO TELL SOMEONE!

♥ yesterday i took my baby cat to the vet! his tooth was kind of messed up but the vet is really sweet and the problem was easily and cheaply dealt with. what a relief!

♥ i got a new job!! i'm going to be working lunchtimes at a busy downtown restaurant and dial it back to evenings and weekends at my current job. hopefully these jobs, combined with dove grey dawn, give me the financial stability i need to achieve my goals this year.

♥ set my heart on doing a summer art class at penland school of art & craft in north carolina. i want to do the last session on that linked page, sculptural felting. it's not terribly expensive ($1500ish, including flight, room, board & class) but it's after my planned moving date to vancouver. i have a few weeks to think about it and see if i could make it work. it's not directly related to the work i'm doing now with dove grey dawn but i think it could take me in new and exciting directions, not to mention how nice it would be to just take art classes.

♥ felt so sexy yesterday in my cardigan (ha!! always a nerd) and floral dress. no one saw me, but it wasn't for anyone else.


♥ this song has been in my head all. day. long. it's so appropriate for the coming (manufactured) holiday. i bet if you play this for your romantic partner, they will want to get down with you immediately. it's kind of a smooth love jam, if you know what i mean


do you have any valentine's day plans? i will probably be working at my new job. other than that, i expect to be sewing and hanging out with my cats. BEST EVER
