boom chug-a-lug-a-lug-a
i got nothing done today. i had a doctor's appointment, didn't sleep at all, took a shower around 5:30 this morning because i felt yucky and then had a headache for the rest of the day. and now...tired. grrrr. tomorrow. i swear it. so. i have been making notes for links to tell ya about...
a handbag making blog u-handbag
have lots of scraps of fabric? wanna know what to do with them (that sounded rude) tipnut.com has some answers!
whilst cruising shannon's new booksite i found some more good links...sew hip and the blog for adorn magazine that is actually a really great blog. the first and only issue of adorn that i read was not so exciting, although it was their first issue and i wonder if they weren't sure what direction it was going to go in? anyway. the site is really good. craftzine or whipup-ish.
and more!
somewhere else, not sure where, i found this fantastic one:sewmamasew fabrics and more!
swapstyle clothing swapping! and it's FREE!
redifining craft really incredible for those of us interested in the crossover between "art" (use air quotes) and "craft".
need more hobbies? well, here is the book for you!get a hobby!
a little while ago, i read about alison of wonderlandq having emergency surgery and not having any insurance. her shop is not even up at the moment. you girls know that for our shop to be down, or our crafting and artsy endeavers screeching to a halt, things must be bad. kind people have started an etsy store on her behalf. you can donate stuff, or buy stuff...here is the post about it with the links to the etsy store. also, tess of madebytess.com has adopted a really sick dog that needs expensive treatment, so there is stuff for her, too...go here. can you believe how incredible the craft community is? it blows me away. and from her LJ, these hilarious kitty pics i am sure i am the last to see them, but they are hilarious!
i am hoping to make myself some new tanks this week. i got rid of most of my wardrobe, which was fine, because it didn't fit anyway. i have a couple favorite shirts that fit really nicely, so i think i will use them as patterns and see how they come out.
oh, i was rummaging through my purse today at the pharmacy and found pavel's favorite ball in there. it cracked me up. he has been carrying it in his mouth. excuse the pic, it is hard to catch him carrying it and get a photo without him moving. unless he is sleeping, he is really hard to take photos of...
i went outside to tend the plants this evening, and the scary woman who recently moved in across the street started to talk to me about how her boyfriend (?) tried to burn her up and cut off her hair and she still gets rides from him...you know, because she has no car and has had her license taken away. and has no checking account. among other things. you know those people that don't work, may or may not be under the influence of something all the time, or it could just be their fantastic personalities. who knows? anyway, thankfully, jake came home and i was able to just wave goodbye and go in. i need to remember to stay in the backyard. hopefully she won't start asking me for rides. sigh.
i am getting sleeeeepy.
