Project Updates:

Take some time out to appreciate the fluffy clouds and remember that even though somedays it appears as if the sky might fall down, it's firmly held up.

What did I learn this past week?

• It took about 7 hours to unbraid my hair and about 7 more to have it rebraided. This time things went much better with the rebraiding. The place I went to was called Charms.
• I am in the process of taking my second sewing class. FirstSamples is offering a class on working with knits called "The Sundress". I have been avoiding knits because my sewing machine has a habit of chewing the fabric.
  
• I discovered that there has been a rash of "trendy sewing centers" opening up in town. I haven't had time to check them out yet. I need to get past their websites (I am not impressed with their web design choices).
• One of the flourescent lights in my kitchen is on the blink right now. I am thinking about replacing the ugly fixture since I have to take the thing apart in order to change the lightbulbs.
• I saw Tapes 'n Tapes and the Harlem Shakes on Saturday. The Emo's sound guy came close to spoiling the evening.
  

• Yard: my co-worker has been smuggling me plants from her yard as part of this year's round of low-impact gardening.
  
• Sewing: The skirt and vest are still in progress. I am debating how to finish them off. In honor of Earth Day I started working on converting a pair of jeans into a skirt.
