not dead

Geez it's been way too long.  I'm not going to actually do the math because that'll end up disappointing, so, it's been way too long. 

Needless to say there has been a lot going on, but I'm working my way into getting back on here regularly.  I have more ideas than I can ever keep track of but also a few projects that are findings away from being finished and some fresh new fabric that already knows what it wants to be.  Pleats and open backs will be happening as well as an update on the random giant chicken sculpture that parked in front of me at Battlecat one day.  The biggest interference right now is the amazing weather we've been having lately, which usually results in me giving into the need to refresh my vitamin D stores after the crazy winter we had.  But, I am determined and neither lovely weather nor moving (again...) are(is?) going to stop me from creating. 

I don't know where this picture is from, but yeah, that. 

oh, and this


"My personal philosophy is not to undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible." So said Taurus-born Edwin Land, the man who invented the Polaroid camera. I have a feeling these might be useful words for you to live by between your birthday in 2014 and your birthday in 2015. In the coming 12 months, you will have the potential of homing in on a dream that will fuel your passions for years. It may seem to be nearly impossible, but that's exactly what will excite you about it so much -- and keep you going for as long as it takes to actually accomplish.

Exactly what I needed to hear given my nearly impossible dreams of late.

It was some random 90's song but I don't know the name and thankfully it's moved on to ...once again... Paramore  with Ain't It Fun

and with that...I'm going to bed.

and now for something completely different.......mid week randomness

On the way to work …

sweet girl of mine - Mom, why don’t you like zombies?

me - …..Because…they’re…dangerous?

kiddo - Why are they dangerous?

me - All they do is try to eat people love.  But it’s okay because they’re just pretend.

kiddo - They’re pretend!?

me - …….yes?

kiddo - You mean…they’re not really in this world?

me -  no baby.  They’re really not in this world.  Just pretend. 

kiddo - oh……………..really??........So they just pretend eat your brains??

            …I’m going to go home and look them up on the computer. 

She doesn't really believe in santa but I've just shattered her world with the knowledge that zombies are in fact make believe.  May she never ask me about unicorns.

Pinterest again - because they keep asking

Reason 42 I love this place.  Random Ladybug landing while I'm chillin on one badass porch with amazing music from some lovely string playing ladies next door.

And because I didn't grab a paper yet here it is straight from the site~



I expect you will be called on to move fluidly between opposing camps or competing interests or different realities. Maybe you'll volunteer to serve as an arbiter between the crabby good guys and the righteous bad guys. Perhaps you'll try to decode one friend's quirky behavior so that another friend can understand it. You might have to interpret my horoscopes for people who think astrology is bunk. You may even have to be a mediator between your own heart and head, or explain the motivations of your past self to your future self. You can't be perfect, of course. There will be details lost in translation. But if you're as patient as a saint and as tricky as a crow, you'll succeed.

Figures.  That seems to be what I've been doing for the past week already.  *sigh

myfm~just one?  I don't think so.  I've been chilling to the Civil Wars a lot this week but while I've got this going tonight I guess it's Paramore.  Pretty much their whole album Brand New Eyes.  Thanks for getting me moving today Hayley and co.
