I had some trouble with Photobucket. So I just decided to be proactive by buying me a site host and domain. I have finagled my boyfriend and some of my friends into helping me with the layout and other techie stuff. Hopefully, the site will be up and running by May. See you guys then!
Happy Easter!
Been sewing and practicing Photoshop.
Achinette, my former manager and current GMail “pen pal” tagged me. Now I have to list 6 unimportant things that make me happy. Rules of the tag are:
1. Mention the person who nominated you.
2. List 6 unimportant things that make you happy.
3. Tag 6 blogs, state the rules, and notify them with a teeny comment on their blog.
All right, here goes mine…
1) My new size 0 self. I have gone past my initial disgust of my smaller frame and moved on to complete happiness. I know I can stand to gain a few more pounds but I am absolutely delighted with my weight now. It doesn’t even matter that Uzi’s 8-year old niece can wear one of my skinny jeans as if they were her own.
pegged jeans and an absolutely amazing painting by the boyfriend. hope you're not disgusted by it. it's amazingly excuted.
When sewing a bag, there are parts that I really find tedious. Cutting the fabric is one. I used to hate sewing zippers, too, but I discovered the magic that is the zipper foot. This tutorial is on sewing a zipper to a messenger bag or tote. This is the kind of zipper that is set an inch from the top of the bag, in the lining. I don’t know what the proper term is so let’s just get on with it.
For this zipper part, you will need:
Two pieces of fabric that are 2 inches shorter than the top of your bag. The width of each fabric should be half the width of your bag. One long side and the two ends should have enough allowance for folding. Let's call these parts A1 and A2.
Two pieces of fabric that are an inch thick. The top part of these pieces should follow the shape of the top part of your bag. That is why mine are curved in shape. These are basically the top parts of your lining. These are our B1 and B2.
The lining of your bag. Since the top of the lining (mentioned previously) already follows the shape of the top the bag, the top of my lining (white fabric) is not curved. Its straight.
For our anniversary, I got Uzi and me matching mini-books with a few of our nicest and sweetest photos.
giant hand? tiny book!

The mini-books were made by a crafty friend. They are very cute. They are leather-bound and the printing is amazing. And the best part is Uzi loves his.
Two of our beloved characters have just gotten a makeover. Who’s next? Blue? The term “cute” is going obsolete, I guess.
