Confession: Well, my new sewing machine arrived this week, so I’ve stocked up on supplies and sewing books from the library. I started practicing on a bag of ratty t-shirts from the donation piles, but bored rather easily and grabbed several yards of fabric, dug up the vintage dress pattern I’ve been hoarding for years and promptly froze up, overwhelmed (perhaps I bid on several lots of vintage dress patterns, who can say?).

I’ve got a busy, busy weekend – we have an appointment to go see a flat in an hour! – but in between the roller derby, dancing my ass off at Club Gossip’s Adam Ant vs. The Pirates party tomorrow night, very luxe femme time at the The Claremont spa with my very best friend and fantastical Mother’s Day shenanigans, I do hope to knock out at least one dress, and butcher a few of M’s t-shirts into awesomely wearable tops for myself. If I manage it, I’ll document and post the results early next week! SUPER EXCITING! YAY!

Confession: DOUBLE WHAMMY! Because I’ve neglected y’all and I am terribly sorry. I’ve purchased a sewing machine, resumed my French lessons, started Bollywood dancing and helped a friend throw an amazing benefit for her AIDS Lifecycle 8 Ride over the weekend. Phew! I hope you enjoy the sassy new belt from modcloth.com and the exclusive softball game pics with a peek of the tomboy! I swear I swear I swear I’m not neglecting the sniffs section of the blog – I’ve got plenty, I’ve just been lazy in that dept. – and will try to post a few new ones this week. End. Weekend! Soon. Really. Have I told you lately that I love you? Well, I do. XO.
