Got into the UFO box tonight. Am finishing bind-offs and tying up the loose ends (I'm punny) on several almost-knit projects. #stashbustarmy

It's kitten-sewing day. 3 cut out so far, and a crocheted one who just needs one leg, ears, and some stuffing. This costume is gonna rock!

Well, I couldn't find gold stretch lycra anywhere locally, so Phoenix costume is out. However, I've got a classic Mego costume coming up!

Making my husband a decadent dark chocolate cake from scratch for his 30th birthday today. Batter is good, hope it will be as good cooked!

Downtown SF celebrating Mark's 30th this weekend. Join us? Hit me up :)
It's a wake-up-realizing-you-fell-asleep-holding-your-knitting kind of night. #stashbustarmy #gotobed #sleepyknitter

New coats, clean carpets & freshly mopped floors, a modular kitty city, & new glass food storage. Mark, kitties, and I are a happy crew. :)

Well hey, go Giants.
Jean Grey in the classic green spandex unitard = my halloween costume?

Hey look, now you can actually walk into my walk-in closet. What a concept.

Ok so 3 Bridge School tickets available after all, so who wants em? $36 each as opposed to close to $50 normally.
Hooray, unburied almost all of my hoop-making supplies! Now to find the connectors...
Anybody want to make a preliminary guess as to how many doll heads I pull out of my overflowing hall closet?
You know you're whiny when you delete two posts before sending because they make you sound like one sad S.O.B. Too hot to do stuff already!

Oi serious levels of hormonal.
Off to be brightened and beautified. Boy my hair needs help!

Monday, October 11, 2010

Yes, yes, I'm knitting at the bar.
First song: Sour Times by Portishead #karaoke #girlsnightout
Redressed and on the move again. Headed to meet Zan at karaoke.
Hooray for the arrival of my new sewing machine! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Great quote from Fashion Week for Spring 2011 in Paris: "What was our favorite color? Shiny."
P.S. Good lord I have to pee... But I am determined to make it home without stopping.
Voice tutor app for iPhone isn't too bad. That being said, @zansidhe I'm all warmed up! What's your story tonight?

Dear strawberry blonde lady, please note: hunched stance + leading with your chin = UGLY walking position. However, I liked your haircolor.

Friday, October 8, 2010

Well it's Friday night and I got home by 9pm! Hooray! I'm now set to stash-bust some birthday presents. First up, Anthony's. #stashbustarmy
Well, I'm going to NYC at the end of November. #project333 just got really interesting. #homegrownfashionproject

"Crafts and Cocktails Day" has turned into "Run Around Like a Crazy Person Day." Laundry is about done though, and all errands are now too.
It's crafts and cocktails day! Is 9:45 am too early to start on the cocktails? Haha!

Got a refurbished electronic 66-stitch sewing machine with quilting capabilities for a STEAL today. Singer 4166. $120. New for double that.
So far I'm buying 5 tickets for Bridge School Festival on Saturday. 3 more tickets gets a cheaper rate. Anyone want in on the 2nd 4-pack?

Monday, October 4, 2010

Clouds, coffee, pumpkin loaf, a sweater and a cowl. Fall, I love you so.
Already halfway done with laundry, vacuumed the fan-fuzz from my window screen, & have a load ready for storage. Found more stuff to donate.
I think I just got invited to New York, hotel and airfare covered.

Finished the Simplicity socks from Toe-Up 2-at-a-Time Socks by Melissa Morgan-Oaks. Blocking tomorrow, will post pics when I send em off.
Ok give-away pile, go get in the car. It's time to go to Savers now. #homegrownfashionproject
Now I have to put my time-out clothing pile away. And face that give-away pile in the living room. And face my 33-item wardrobe. I'm scared.
After an emotional day of parting with over half my wardrobe and putting 2/3 of the rest in time-out, I had a nice night with my coworkers.

Saturday, October 2, 2010

Reduced down to the 33 clothing & shoe items I'm allowed to wear during my 3 months on a variation of #project333. #homegrownfashionproject
Mark is done, with 31 items and the rest going to donation. He even gets to buy 2 more wardrobe items if he wants. #homegrownfashionproject
Did I mention my husband Mark is playing along? I don't think he'll have a hard time. In my closet? 150+ clothing items, not counting shoes.
Back from the art museum and lunch. Now it's time to pare my wardrobe down to 33 items. Am I crazy? Can I do it? #homegrownfashionproject
Inspired by #WardrobeReFashion, #Project333, and #stashbustarmy, I'll be reworking my wardrobe for #HomeGrownFashionProject.Details tonight.
