It's here! It's here!!

Who knew I'd be so excited for a Tuesday delivery??


"Weekend Sewing" by Heather Ross has arrived.
It seems super cute!
I've already leafed through and made my list of future projects.
Like this skirt:


and this top:


and this dress:


and these slippees!!!


The book came with these attached patterns.
I DETEST patterns but maybe I'll get over it long enough to make these cute, cute items!!

So, if you see me this summer walking down the street wearing any or all of these items, you'll know where they came from!!
YAY TUESDAY!

my favorite sister

look what my sister sent me yesterday.
a real book about my favorite trip.



i can't believe it was almost 4 years ago.
we went together to whitefish, montana.



we toured glacier national park.
they warned us for hours about the bears and then my sister said, go out there by that sign - - a little further - - a little further!!
i was TERRIFIED that a bear was gonna come and eat me!!


look at how pretty.
we ate a&w hotdogs after this.
that was fun, too. :)




love you, ber.

"spring line"



here's the bag i'm carrying right now.



i'm obsessed with lemony-yellows and limey-greens.

and of course - polka dots....

look for more after this weekend.

eyes

oh yeah, and i have the WORST eye allergies.
how is this possible only at the beginning of march?

sigh.

here is an artist's rendition of my eye.

stuff.

i want new hair. like this:





i'll probably chicken out, but it's totally on my list of maybes.....




i'm getting ready to order this book




i've heard only good things about it.
i'd love to sew new things other than bags even though i heart my bags so much.
i'm excited to try the wrap skirt. oooOH!





there was an accident at work today. don't worry, he's ok. but the aftermath looked like an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigator. the original version - not the New York or Miami crap. the real las vegas one!

Barf!

i always thought i was tough. (who am i kidding, i pretend i'm tough)
