wow, i just dug out my sewing machine to hem some curtains. it's a really basic crappy machine, but i managed to get it threaded and hem with total success, partially thanks to my sweet mother coaching me over the phone. now that it's out, i think i'll employ it in making a few little burning man trifles. i really want to make some crazy stretchy miniskirts.. that's easy. oooooh i could make insane stripey leg warmer things really easily too! tomorrow i am going to go look for fabric.
i'm crafty lately. i have been making hula hoops, too. it's really fun, because, when else do you get to use iridescent glitter tape?!
the house is so messy and i just keep doing things to make it messier. it's funny. instead of cleaning my room/workspace and sewing in there, i just shook my head at the mess and set up shop on the kitchen table. oliver is patient and wonderful.
mercury goes direct tomorrow, so maybe i can start imposing order then.
