could i wear that skirt any higher? i'm chaneling julia child. i was
inspired by meg to do the the self-portrait even though it makes me uncomfortable. as of 2:26 pm, it's been replaced three times. i'm done, now.
craft
making a simple denim skirt with some patchwork binding i purchased long ago from i heart linen and a fabric flower using a pattern from martha stewart weddings. two more things off the summer to-do list. i got the blouse in a beautiful liberty of london fabric on sale from pronk.
home
going down to the laundry room in our building and finding the lights aren't even on, yet. i'm the first one and all alone.
new tradition
i'm old enough to need a routine mammogram each year and each time i get more scared about the results. from now on, after having the test, i'm going to make a donation to susan g. komen for the cure as a thank you.
television
the new season for mad men starts this sunday. we can't wait!
tunes
a really good free itunes single of the week from british artist gary go. according to itunes he 'grew up near wembley stadium listening to music float through his bedroom window." lucky chap!

ReplyDeleteI've tried the self-portrait thing a couple of times already, but haven't had the courage yet to put it up on my blog... One portrait is just sitting in my drafts folder waiting to be published - if I wait long enough I'll look five years younger, LOL.
