Tomorrow is the Big "creative Festival" in Toronto. it was called the "Sewing and Needlework Festival" but they changed the name in order to encompass more crafts such as scrapbooking. Which totally backfired on them three years ago when all the people who come far and wide for sewing stuff bitched about how it had more scrapbook stuff than sewing stuff and people came fore sewing things. So once again there's more sewing and needlework stuff than scrapbook stuff.
I have a short list of things I need: Sewing machine needle threaders. A rubber pad for under my serger so it stops running away from me. A hump jumper for sewing over thicker layers of denim. A couple feet for the babylock. An adaptor for MR Anderson. he doesn't adapt very well, you know. NO it's so I can use generic snap on feet on him and also there's a shank shifter that will allow me to use generic lo-shank feet. All my fancy feet are low and snap on. A higher quality invisible zipper foot, one that isn't made of plastic. Lets hope i can see the invisible zipper foot. get it? That's a joke!
I planned on making a nice top for tomorrow to go with my new high waisted pants. Unfortunately I began to suffer what is known as analysis paralysis, where I think too much. Then I thought if i could find some copper and bronze trims that I have it would spur me to action all the happened was well...a fark headline "Linda is in a rush to make a top in less than two days! Let's re-organize all her trims and embellishments and see if she notices!"
I did some re-organizing as this one box of bronze and copper embellishments kept being in thew way whenever i opened up my supply closet. So I decided to re-organize the closet and move the trims somewhere that made more sense. Apparently it didn't make that much sense because now I can't find them. This, I don't need to add- did not help in the least when it came to making a nice top from the brown knit and the brown, rust and copper lace.
I think tonight I will whip something together on the fly and hope for the best.
Here are a couple of links worth bookmarking. http://dandandandandev.blogspot.com/ this is Dan's blog about his final project for college. He's making a game and this is about his progress. Next is: http://www.heatherrussell.net/ Heather's website for all her graphic design work. Here's her blog: http://superheather9000.blogspot.com/
Much of my site is transitioning well. in a couple days everything will be at the new .com location. I'll transferring everything to my new lincatz-at-lincatz-dot-com e-mail address. Now that's real class, isn't it? Your own name at your own domain! Makes everything easy to remember. I also have some subdomains available, you'll be stuck with lincatz as part of your site, but that's not so bad is it? It will be cheap and there will be no ads. I think Ben is interested in one. And I have four more POP e-mails available and all are individually password protected and can be used on Outlook express. Although why anyone would want to use outlook express in beyond me, not when there are so many better POP clients out there.
Next will be updating and re-working everything. Some of the old stuff will be gone and I will make everything easy to find. I also have a secure shopping cart with paypal so i can set up a small store. It's cheaper than an etsy and my stuff is less likely to get lost in all the crap on that site. See REGRETSY! Honestly, what's with the crap they sell on etsy these days? Tampon air fresheners? Re-usable cloth toilet paper? And 600$ for a sock monkey Michael Jackson thriller toy? Am I missing something?
So that's all for today. It's a bit of a busy day, today. Ben and i are going out for a while and then we are meeting Dave and then we are going to the mall for dinner and mall-ratting. And then I have to whip together a top for tomorrow. Good thing I just found the box of embellishments that I misplaced. And no, the location was neither logical or intuitive. It was just shoved in a place where it wouldn't keep falling out of the closet.
Later!
