hello hello.
i had a really productive weekend. feels amazing.
first of all, i cleaned, reorganized & redecorated my loft (photos in posts below)… here's one thing i hadn't shown you yet… my dad and I made a rug for my dressing room with astroturf. we glued the edges (so it won't fray) and i added these cute daisies…. i actually had astroturf in my bedroom in high school (with a camping tent & clouds on the wall… *sigh*… my parents were SO patient with all of our crazy ideas. :D) so I'm happy to have it in my home again….
last night i stitched a dress! it's my first time to complete a sewing project from a pattern (although i didn't follow the pattern %100) since 7th grade Home Ec! it was really fun. Jeremy took a few photos today….
jeremy's mom, Pat, gave me some awesome vintage dress patterns. I used one of them for this dress.
an i betcha didn't know…. my boyfriend is a brilliant inventor!
check out his clever idea…
ha! i love him.
i'll be back later tonight to share about the cleanse we just did, tattoo talk & new RVA happenings!
right now i am going to pick up a few groceries and cook dinner for Jeremy & the band he is working with this week (cooking for 7 boys… ha!). it's gonna be fun… taco night.
XO. els

Elsie,
My sister and i have a question for you! How on earth do you make your lines so straight in your paintings!?
We’re so curious to know, you make it look so easy!
Thanks, Gayle and sister Karen
cute dress!!!!
i love boys and tacos! what time is dinner? hah!
great job on the dress, elsie! i’m curious to see what this tattoo business is all about, since i have been itching for another one soon…
i love the astroturf!
Great dress! Have fun making dinner… it’s a pain for me to make dinner for 4, I can only imagine for 7 guys…. fun! LOL….
The rug is fabulous and I love your bf’s idea… I need one of those! Hehe…. looks like something my bf would come up with.
TTFN
Very cute!! I want to make a dress so bad I can taste it (that is, if fabric tasted like pancakes :P)!
And the astroturf/camping tent is such an awesome idea, lol
Ooh do you have a picture of your bedroom when you were in high school? I’d love to see it!
You’re so great! <3
Gayle,
I use lots of tiny brushes! 😀
thanks everyoneee.
I love the astro turf idea. I wanted to do a wall of it one time (picnic set included) but I’ve always rented so I’ve been unable. 🙁
The astro turf idea is adorable… hmmm, I may have to tuck that away for later (hopefully if David and I get a little girl to adopt)… and the dress is too precious.
Mmmmm… Tacos! Veggie style? Are you Veg? I, for some reason, rememeber reading that you were.
Cute dress, too!

She is an Australian artist, but i think you may be interested in the same types of imagery 🙂 Plus her stuff (like yours) is so cute!
the tacos were amazing!
//that comes from all of us band guys!
I totally have that same phone! I love his “invention”! So funny! I too, love vintage dress patterns!
Cute dress! And I love those vintage dress patterns!
The astroturf mat is a great idea! We’re in the middle of buying a house, so I’m sure we’ll need a mat. 🙂 Centro love for Jeremy… I love mine.
I have that same pattern from a box at a tag sale..some day i’ll just have to make it!!
