Tonight is my birthday, I am so excited that I am eight. I don't think I will forget it. I get to stay up as late as I want on my birthday even though I usually stay up till seven.

I've gotten an early present that is a bracelet maker. Mom and I played dress up games on the computer.

This one is my favorite:



Mom and I made more and here they are. Mine:




Mom's:




























Mom thinks it's interesting to see the difference in our styles (mom's words).

I know! She's all about the imbellishments. When I did the girl with the red, black and white shirt she said, "Eww don't make her wear those bunchy pants." *rolls eyes*

The thing is when she puts it all together it looks pretty good. Maybe I should send her your way for a summer so she can get some hands on training with someone who actually CAN design. ie not me

She's a little young, but if she was a few years older I'd happily drag her around London and give her a pre-college crash course on fashion design, but I suspect her Mother would leave the said daughter at home and come in her place!!! ;)

If you ever want to come stay for a week or so you know you'd always be welcome!!! Give me 24 hour notice and I'll even clean the house for you and make sure the blow up bed holds air all night! :)

24 hour notice? lol if only I could hop on a jet and fly around the world on 24 hour notice. Perhaps someday when we're terribly rich. But I'd be more than happy to come visit you again. And maybe I'll send her your way when she's older too. :)

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

Image
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o

Mutterings of a Middle-Aged Dreamer

Image
Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you?  Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure.  Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing.  Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry?  Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door.  Go. Live in the now.
