Day 14 → A non-fiction book

I just started reading this book yesterday, but I am already enjoying the hell out of it: The Accidental Buddhist by Dinty W. Moore. (I do not know if that is his given name, or if it's just a nickname he got stuck with as a child, but if it's his given name, his parents are a special kind of sadist and it's no wonder

The new fabric is for that short-sleeved velvet jacket I posted about a few weeks ago. There is also material for a cute retro shirt dress, and some stretch knit for a blouse pattern I've had forever and never tried. So we'll see how all that goes.

Elephant! CUUUUUUTE. There will be pictures, I trust.

I need to make myself an apron. I make them for other people, but never for myself. My mom keeps saying she's making me a cool retro one, but this is a lie. My sister got hers a year ago and doesn't even wear it. Do I have one? I do not!

I spent $4 on a Vogue skirt and jacket pattern too, but I bought it in the smaller size so I have to lose more weight before I can make it. Which is fine, because I can't wear that look until I'm smaller anyway. It would just make me look boxy right now.

I also got a shirt pattern, but I can't find it online. And now I am realizing that I forgot to pick up a McCall's pattern I really wanted, so I am going to have to go back to Joann on a Saturday. Ugh. The whole point of dragging myself out yesterday while I was feeling poorly was to avoid the Saturday lines.

I remember the jacket now. ::grins::

I like the Vogue pattern. I think the short jacket/skirt version would look very nice on you. But you know you best, obviously.

Yes, I'm sure there will be elephant pictures. Hopefully it's going to turn out acceptably. I don't want her to decide 'homemade' is lame before she's three!
