my new life

i have a new life. i just typed up what it consists of, but if you knew, i'd have to kill you/it's mildly uninteresting unless you consider the cute, bear-like puppy that sits at my feet for the majority of the day (which in turn definitely resembles the darndest bear rug er doormat you will ever see) to be interesting.

last week the loom finally got dressed (such a little tart that one) and i did her all up in a pixelated plaid. 3 yards later i had enough fabric to move forward. after working out a few prototypes for small wristlets, i made the first cut. a few cuts, a few stitches and one broken sewing machine later (just trying to stitch a leather wrist strap. oops) i had the first handbag.

you've got to start somewhere right? today wristlets, tomorrow the world?

hah. glad i never take myself seriously, but you DEFINITELY should.

update :: sherbert whirlwind

i finished the fabric for the garment(s) that i briefly presented back in january or was it february? i can't recall... very excited about the progress. i'm considering moving away from a dress and towards a summer parka/jacket/thing. think peace, love and wovens.
additionally, i'm working on printed fabric to create a piece as bottom layer. i wove the fabric loosely to allow for visibility of prints beneath. so much to do. so many projects. this full-time job thing is really getting in the way.

white silk/bamboo scarf

i've finally taken images of the christmas gift i made for a very good friend that's into "cafe racing", a theme that fully influenced my choice of materials and color. thanks to kate for being such a sport. isn't she pretty? like she could be a part-time model.
