Knitting, Blythe, Afternoon Tea and 3 great girl friends

2006-11-20T05:43:45Z

I just love girls day out. Linda, Winnie, Jenny and I hung out all day yesterday. It was so much fun!

We started with tea at the Hungtington Library.

Jenny taking a picture of herself at the tea house.

After tea, we walked around taking pictures.

Linda posing Noe for a picture.

And then we went to starbucks to knit. This was the ONLY picture i got to take before the mean starbucks guy told us "No pictures".

80's Cartoon Characters Halloween

2006-10-31T05:05:58Z

We attended an "80's Cartoon Character" halloween party this past Saturday, so J and I spent our Saturday afternoon making our costume. :) He put his costume together all by himself! :)

It felt so good to sew again! It's been so long.

Some of you may already know, but I'm putting some of my girls up for adoption. Don't worry, only the boxed ones. :) i figure if i haven't opened them yet, i probably won't. i still look forward to having time after the wedding to sew and play with my girls again. for now, extra funds wouldn't hurt with the huge wedding expenses and i could use some space in our house. i'm sad, but i'm happy that they'll have more attention.

I can't wait to go back to mammoth

2005-12-27T21:52:13Z

HELP, I'm sinking!

Oh well, might as well make a snow angel while I'm at it.

Larger and more pics on my flickr! Just click the pic!

Last weekend in Mammoth was so nice! *sigh* And I wasn't rusty either! Usually I'm rusty on the first trip of the season, but it was as if no time was lost. :) I hit many little jumps and landed all of them. Since I haven't been falling, that means it's time to take bigger risk! As J's boss says, "If you're not making mistakes, you're not progressing"... or something to that effect. And this is how he views mistakes in reguards to work! I like how he view mistakes. I want to adpot that motto in my class now... just need to find or turn it into a good quote to put over my white board. :)

eep! finally, a PMS outfit on ebay!

2005-11-28T01:28:33Z

It's been so long since I've micro-sewed. took awhile for me to adjust from people sewing back to dolly sewing. :P But thanks to the 4 day weekend, I had time to make all the mistakes I needed to get used to dolly sewing again.

So here's what took up my entire 4 day weekend:

It took literally an entire day just to take pics and list it on ebay. I had totally forgotten how long it all took. :\ Oh well, at least it's up now. :) I had trouble w/ some of the pics and after many tries, some still look washed out, but I'm not sure what else to do now so these will have to do. It feels good to be dollying again, but a bit nerve-racking at the same time b/c i've been out of it for so long. oh well, all i'm hoping for is a smooth transaction. :)

ah, now it's time to lesson plan. back to reality. it was a nice 4 day break from reality. :) hope you all had a nice weekend as well!

people sewing

2005-08-10T06:20:28Z

I haven't people sewed in awhile. :\ but i was able to whip up two before going to SF and one inspired by seeing melisser in SF. :)

The two I made before SF:

I had been planning on sewing this for awhile, but after seeing melisser, I was motivated. :) I would appreciate any constructive feedback. ;)

This actually took all last night and entire today to figure out since I was sewing from scratch. I had to adjust it soooo many times. O_o Hopefully the next one will go smoother.

I'm pleased with how the sleeves came out. I'm not sure if i should put ruffles around. I still want to play w/ different collar options and different combinations of fabrics.

evidence that i was procrastinating this weekend (x-posted)

2005-04-11T07:22:24Z

oh shoot, as i wrote that title, it reminded me that i was supposed to submit my thesis to my advisor tonight! oops. it's past my bed time already, I'll just have to explain tomorrow... that i spent my time sewing doll clothes instead of working on my thesis. >_<

oh well, at least i had fun! D: (that happend by accident, but i like it)

I have so many ideas right now so I'm too lazy to do a full outfit set for ebay. I just want to sew the little ideas that I have. So I will sell the pieces individually.
