note -

I hate when people ruin nice things.

My dad is better than yours

Whilst I was in the kitchen, at the stove, cooking dinner:
- Dad walks in, sees me cooking, hands me a Cornetto ice-cream.
- Dad "It's a hot day, let's not suffer"
- I eat the Cornetto whilst standing at the stove cooking dinner.
Win.


At the dinner table:
- Hannah (11) "Like, I want to get a 3DS, but I also want to keep my Nintendo DSi"
- Dad (50-something) "I know how you feel."
Silent chuckles to myself.

Here is the latest creation to come from the sweet collaboration of my imagination and sewing machine.
I think it's perfect as a festival top, so I'm going to save it for Future Music (not until March unfortunately) and try to resist wearing it before then.
It actually took me around the same amount of time to make as my NYE dress, because I effed up the front piece and had to start again.
Ah well. The final product was worth it!

"But who can say what's best? That's why you need to grab whatever chance you have of happiness where you find it, and not worry about other people too much. My experience tells me that we get no more than two or three such chances in a lifetime, and if we let them go, we regret it for the rest of our lives."

Sometimes you'll do anything, just to forget all the crap that is going on in your mind. Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll etc etc.
But I prefer to sew.
So I sat down ALL day, making this pretty little thing for NYE.
Even though I had just bought a dress the day before (at least I can save it for another occasion now!)
