rowan

I have been a busy little Rowan!!

So, following on the heels of my "shoots self in foot" moment, the gal I hadn't talked to in years decided not to take what I said the wrong way! This means that I now have a new/old friendship to enjoy. Huzzah for the friends that comes out of the attic dusty, but once given a little attention turns into this season's must have!

In other news, I got my half sleeve started!

It is beautiful, intricate, and...

...AMAZINGLY ITCHY!!!! ARGGGG!!!!

I shall now post pictures of the little fishy swimming up my arm.






Sadly, Mr. Sadface has not been feeling well. He has been taking half days at work for the last couple of days, and I wish he felt better. Nurse Rowan is here make everything all better, though, with a smile, a sympathetic ear, and rubber glove.

Meow.

Also, for the last couple of weeks, I have been searching the internet high and low for a laptop sleeve to my liking. Funky, colorful, and completely unique, my dream sleeve was nowhere to be found. So, in my infinite snazziness, I said:

"Fuck this shit. I'll make my own!"

I threw on some mary janes, grabbed my purse and headed to the fabric store...without a clue as to what I was going to make. An hour later, I arrived back home with unbleached canvas, sour-apple green fleece, a strip of heavy duty velcro, and spray paint.

Hang with me. It'll all make sense soon.

So, I decided that I was going to celebrate my fishy arm with a laptop sleeve that sang the same tune. As anyone who knows me at all knows...

I don't measure things.

I don't plan.

I am like MacGyver.

I fucking wing it.

Three hours later, I had a groovy little sleeve with a flap closure. It is all business until you flip the flap and see the sexy punch o' green fleece hiding inside.





Tomorrow, I am going to be stencil-and-spray painting the outside with a fishy named Norman.

Martha Stewart can kiss my ass.
