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

i want to lose 20 pounds... and i have no clue how to do it. well, i sort of do but it's so much easier to just pretend you don't know how, but i'll keep being miserable! and the story you told me about your weight gain sounds pretty similar to mine except i'm only addicted to bread and don't like cheese. ha. i just got rid of SO much clothes yesterday, think i will regret it? haha. you should try finding that pencil skirt! part of me hates fashion because they completely get rid of what's NOT in style and then you're stuck with things you're not much into. i think i might be rambling a bit, my apologies. haha.
waterproof makeup should have never been invented! it literally takes an hour of your time to get it off and by that time you no longer have a face! ha. everyone tells me to just use makeup remover but who are they kidding, that doesn't work either. i know, i'll invent something that i'll only share with you and we can dangle it in front of people who suffer from waterproof makeup. whoa, i'm completely nuts when i first wake up. don't mind me
do you think i'd look too much like a pirate if i wore an eye patch and a parrot? part of me thinks it's a bad idea. >.<
that does sound like a lot of stuff! but it also sounds like everything you bought was light! i hate when you buy something really heavy and have to truck it across town. what kind of candy bars? peanut butter chocolate things are one of my favs.
okay, i won't make you post the rest, but i feel happy that i guessed what things were new on your site! and i only looked at it once before. ( pats back). ha. the new stuff looks great. really detailed work on the matroyshkas. i actually didn't know that was what they were called, you learn something new everyday
i hope your night was spectacular! ( fireworks included).
i don't know what i will do today. so far i haven't left my bed but am feeling hungry. i think i'll do some art today. i owe people lots of things. i quit drinking for now.
OH btw, i saw your cookie video and those look really yummy! i might have to try it sometime soon. those are actually my fav cookies of all time. it's worth a try.
