a little inspiration

You all should go here and see what he has been up too. I love the tail on that mermaid.

So I have been sewing all weekend. I had hoped to make a skirt or maybe two (ha!) before the weekend was out but that isn't going to happen. To be technically correct, I could finish the skirt I started, but I wouldn't wear it once it was done. It has far too much material to be flattering. What is the point of making your own clothes if they don't look good on you? Anyway, I plan to take it apart and see if I can draft it into an a-line instead... And if that doesn't work who knows what I will end up with. Then, to lift my spirits I decided I would make meditation pillow. Which seems simple and fun right? I got started off all right but somewhere along the way I got side tracked by a “great idea” and well, that was that. Poof, just a bunch of fabric that sitting in crazy piles upstairs.

I think I may go home early so it can be just you and me for a little while. We can cuddle and sew together, make skirts and bags, maybe even walk the dog.

Do you remember the houses... I have been trying to decide exactly what to do with them and then how to do what I wanted. I think I ruined the other strip of them in my first failed attempt where geometry and I were not communicating. But Senor has deemed this one is "Blog worthy." What do you think?

All the love of a tiny dog and a Saturday lazing in bed. Happy Love Thursday!

Shoes have just been ordered. I am so excited. I love shoes and haven't been able to purchase a new pair in a while. I have been spending lots of time preoccupied by the fact that I have no go to, wear anywhere, walk all over creation summer shoes for the busy season ahead. But in 4 to 5 business days I will. And then all will be right with the world...
