I like reading blogs with differentn sized lettering, color, etc.
WordPress, however wonderful it is, confuses me.
Therefore, I have switched providers.
My new blog is here!
Check it out :]
Oh! Shiny! July 9, 2007
I am a sucker for anything shiny. After seeing this tutorial up on Craftster, I was inspired to step out of my sewing rut. It seemed easy, and the end result pictured was simply chic.
Over to Joann’s I headed, in hopes of finding some cheap (sale, possibly?) silk. Fourteen+ dollars a yard was a bit out of my price range, so instead I opted for the cheaper, “silk-y” fabric in a plain royal blue color. The only thing was, the fabric was 100% polyester…cringe!
Following the pattern roughly (I added a few centimeters, thinking I was a bit bigger than the girl in the picture learning later I was mistaken) I created my first dress out of hard-to-work-with polyester. It took me about an afternoon’s time, and I’m loving the result for the most part. The sleeves are a bit hard to move in, and I need to get my hands on some liquid seam stuff for the raw edges on the inside.
A new dish July 7, 2007
Last night was spent making a linguine with clam sauce recipe from the July issue of Real Simple.
I’ll admit it: I’m not a huge fan of seafood. I want to like it, but the only fish I can easily eat are salmon and tuna. My parents love pretty much all types though, and I thought it’d be fun to watch the clams open up as they were being cooked.
(Real Simple told me the clams needed to “breathe” and be kept on ice)
The recipe itself was extremely simple to follow. Everyone seemed to be pleased with the result!
A little lovin’ July 6, 2007
After flipping through the Summer 2007 issue of Adorn Magazine, I came across my new favorite Flickr group: Wardrobe_remix.
Members post pictures of what they’re wearing that day. I posted my first one today!
Check this group out if you have a Flickr account (If you don’t, why not create one? It’s free!). I’m sure the photos will inspire you to mix and match your own wardrobe pieces in ways you never previously imagined.
