Bubble Wrap and Music Sheets

Well lately I have been the biggest lazy bum of all the lazy bums when it comes to this blog! I just never know what to write about!

I guess I will start with some fashion. I am not joking at all with the story I am about to tell you.
  I was at Pier 49 Pizza working the other day, when in walks a family of three. At first glance they seemed like just another normal family coming in for a nice dinner. As the dad steps around the mom I literally had to pick my jaw up off the floor and pretend like I see a CAMO PRINTED KILT on a 45 yr old man, every day of my life. I mean, I can give people props for wearing kilts cause they arent very flattering, but a part of their culture. But they are supposed to be plaid right?? Not Camo! It was just aweful. Normally when I see someone wearing something odd, I say good for you, don't be afraid to be different. But sometimes I just have to say NO! no no no no No!

Which reminds me, I recently watched Captain America for the first time and said that same thing, but this wasn't a fashion emergency this time. How could they just let him go down in that ship and her never know that he was a live! What an awefully sad of an ending! I had to walk out of the room, pick up a big sharp knife and start making salsa, and I was still not appeased. lol

Speaking of watching things, I recently decided you can learn a lot of good advice from movies, also new words, perspective and ideas. So I've started to make a movie journal of sorts. Funniest part about this epiphany is that it happened during "I Love You Man" of all movies. Although, I should have expected it, Paul Rudd is in it, and he's awesome.

I was watching The teen drama Dawsons Creek for the last couple weeks and it taught me that the drama free way I chose to live my life is a very good choice. Also they use a lot of big words that you don't hear often so I learned some things there. lol The other show I've been watching is Supernatural and it is a rather good show. I was watching it in Arizona but my lovely roommate Jordyn didn't like it so the last week I stopped watching it, figuring I'd pick it back up when I got home. Which I didn't. lol Until it was brought up to me and I decided I really needed to finish it. So thats what I'm working on now, but I have a feeling its gonna take me a while...

In regards to my business, I still have been rather lazy, but I think I've been trying to rely on my mom too much. I mean she is the sewer and I tend to screw that part up. lol So I've decided I need to do what she did when she first learned. Which was to just start sewing and see how it goes from there!

I was informed of a contest being held at the Boise Art Museum for Fashion made from found objects and I seriously considered joining but I really have never done any fashion like that and I'd like to give it a pressure-less try first before I go entering any contests :/ lol So I have 2 possible dresses/shirts that I'm going to attempt, if for nothing else to have cool pics for my site and fun fashion art for my store when I get it :) I won't tell you what I'm doing, but if anybody has any paper mache(?) type recipes or something I could use like that please let me know! lets just say it has to do with paper, and I need some form of past or plaster to hold it all together, that I can sew through or make holes in to put ties.

On a completely unrelated note ;) If anybody has any bubble wrap, or old music or book pages lying around, I'd be glad to take 'em off your hands! Starting today I'm going to try to write every day. My goal is to make atleast one thing a day, whether it be clothes or jewelry or hair things :)
