The Beat

Im going to see the English Beat tomorrow!! Yeah!!!
I spent most of my high school years riding in my boyfriends 1977 Landcrusier going to SKA shows in DC at the old 9:30 Club, The Black Cat ( I played pool with( at the time) an unknown Gwen Stefani), and Club Asylum ( before the 2nd floor fell though the ceiling.

I had a short short bob shaved in the back and wore my fishnets with white bobby socks in my 3 hole Doc Martins,my Fred Perrys were tight and my Bomber jacket was covered with band patches!

I will not be wear that to show tomorrow, but I'll sing every word to every song and remember my youth! Thanks Tom for getting us tickets.

Polaroid Fix

I have a Polaroid film addiction, and it needs to be feed!!


My camera of choice is yes a huge clunky out of date Polaroid.


But I love them so.


Problem is they don't make the film any more.


If any one has film they would like to sell, barter or trade. I can offer a ridiculous discount on fabric, books, pattern supplies, or sewing classes!
Shoot me an email or come by the store

I was so excited when Style asked me to be apart this show. Luckily I didn't know the who the other artist were until I was done!! I would have been so nervous, to be in a show along side these amazing accomplished artist! I think my box turnout really great! I was inspired by the dreary, weather and dreary state of our nation and wanted to something fun, bright, happy and child like!

This will be my 1st official 1st Friday, baby with stay with his grandparents, and Dru will be my date

Bamboo fleece just arrived this morning, and what a more perfect day!! Its so cold out ! just want to wrap my self in all 20 yds and call it a day!! Its the most soft, silky, heavy fleece I've ever seen.
