knitting update

I’ve been knitting and crocheting like crazy trying to get baby stuff done. Lisa could go into labor any day now and I have another shower on Sunday. So to do this I’ve been watching a lot of movies. I measure how much time it takes to finish something by how many movies I watch […]

Vogue 1944 design

I picked out this pattern for Halloween: The floral one reminds me of a dress Madonna wears in Evita during “Eva and Magaldi”, except Eva’s has a pink background. The green one is really something any 40s actress could have worn to a premiere or something. I have to look for fabric still.

gaelic storm

The Gaelic Storm concert last night was a lot of fun. It was only about half full, as opposed to when it sold out last time. I guess because it was a Thursday instead of a Friday? And last time was the end of March too so maybe people were still in a St. Patty’s […]

halloween

I decided I’m going to be Ingrid Bergman for Halloween. I found a ton of 40s dress patterns: one two three four No one will know who I am but I love that style so I’m doing it. I thought of picking a particular outfit she wears and doing the same thing but I can […]

sewing

I am going to teach two friends to use their sewing machines. And it got me thinking about what costume I want to make for Halloween this year. Because I will be having a costume party. Tribal Style Belly Dancer or Saloon Girl? Most of the costumes I like are can-can related or flapper related. […]

jeff cap

I finally finished putting together my jeff cap pattern. It ended up being a little big but I think it looks pretty good still. I’m happy with it.

wonderful day

I am loving this weather. Obviously, I’m sure you all are too. I was just in the park for an hour though and had to force myself to come back to work. I met Mike and his girlfriend and her friend for lunch. We ended up getting Wawa and then just sitting on the grass […]

end of coop

I went to NXNW last night to pick up the Gaelic Storm tickets. I’d never been there before but it looks like a great venue. The show is sold out so we need to get there early for good spots. I’m really looking forward to it, the band is very energetic and fun. My boss […]

sick

I’m sick with whatever virus is going around. I went to the doctor and he gave me three different prescriptions and said maybe I’d feel better in 7-10 days. This sucks. I’m stuck at my parents’ house where I don’t even have a bed any more. I can’t drive back to Philly because I’m too […]
