this year my cat knocked the tree down the third day it was up. i came downstairs, made breakfast in the kitchen while chatting with my roommate, and two minutes later i went back in the living room, and the tree was now on the floor! octavian was sitting on a side table right next to it...
nothing wrong with the carpenters, imoldfashioned!
i'm in the middle of a million cleaning projects today, and so i've been listening to madonna and lily allen. up next: le tigre!
1. get into grad school!
2. stop using school as an excuse to eat junk all the time
3. continue building my vintage mini-business
4. stop procrastinating (HAHA.)
5. read & sew more, internet less
i agree. these are my main reasons for buying as much organic (and local!) as possible. the co-op near my house has fantastic prices on organic produce, and i buy the organic versions of more-processed stuff (pasta, etc) at trader joe's because that's what i can afford. for the record, i'm a...
yeah, it seems like this would be the perfect dress to try out interchangeable collars (like the ones you see in the Make-n-Mend-type books), or belts!
i have a BA in Women's Studies from CSU Long Beach. it took me 8 years (and about 4 other colleges along the way) before i finally picked a major and graduated. i worked my whole way through, so i never really had a "college experience" as people talk about it. i took a couple years off after...
a couple nights ago i talked my boyfriend into watching A League of Their Own with me. i've seen it about 5 million times, and i think i can probably place a lot of blame on that movie for my vintage obsession!
Run Lola Run is definitely on my list. i got a new housemate and her movie...
thanks, girls! ohairas, that's my natural color. i was thinking about going darker, but i've gotten two compliments on it in the last 24 hours, so maybe not!
ada, your curls look great! i bet it would look really cute with the front pulled back on the sides.
i just got a haircut for the first time in ages. i've been growing out my bangs, which is the most *annoying* thing ever! today i got them blended in with the rest of my hair, and the rest of it is layered a bit, and the back is cut in a slight u-shape for pincurling ease!
here it is, with no...
i went to Buffalo Exchange today, tried on four pairs of jeans by four different companies, and NONE of them fit properly!! i'm just looking for plain old modern jeans that aren't TOO low and are decently made. j-crew seems to be the brand that fits me, but i've been fluctuating in weight and am...
reintroduction....
hello! i've been around for awhile but haven't posted in forever. i've been having a hard time deciding where to post first so i figured this would be a good place! it looks like there's a bunch of new portland gals here - awesome!
i've been using the Keeper for a year or so, and used the Divacup for a couple years before that (and then it got lost). i like the Keeper a little better, i think. it definitely takes a little time to get the hang of things but it's so worth it! for the record, i have a heavy flow and have had...
i recently tore out the crumbling old lining on this (1960s?) bathing suit and sewed in a new one! i may wear it to the beach, but will be avoiding chlorine at all costs...
i've had this suit for a year or two now, but it just sat around in my sewing pile. i was prompted to pull it out after...
i had a big stack of vintage knitting and crocheting books that i loaned out... and never got back. wasn't a huge deal then, but now that i knit, i think about this a lot! i think there were some good ones in there.
a couple WWII USO pins, and who-knows-what-else, left at an ex's house...
