I LOVE the sewing by screaming lulu. What an amazing idea!
I am really going to bed now. You’re making it hard though… a challenge. I have a really hard time passing up a challenge. I am covering my eyes and going to bed. I am.

Hi Els!
Your inspiration is so…well…inspiring! I am working on an art journal made of cardboard and found “junque” (is it still junk if it’s spelled in a french way? I don’t think so!)

I am working on homework (readings, papers, presentation, etc.) and going to class… this is the last week of classes and next week is finals. ..but you probably meant crafty?
Well, dying a bunch of fabric (mostly scraps from here and there like small pieces of a shirt from my dad, but also some muslin I found in my fabric bin) purple in the left side of teh kitchen sink.
And I have some skirts in progress (if they work out, it’ll be the first time I’ve made clothes myself :))
