Greetings and Salutations!
I has been long! Life is good around here. I started working on my 50's dress! I bought the pattern off estsy.com for like $5. It is pretty involved but i think the out come will be awesome. I will take pics as i go along so here is the first installment:
I am making the dress on the left.
this is the fabric i am using.
And here it is being cut out. The dress in the end will be beautiful.
So, nothing much is going on around here. We had a storm last night. Rain and hail and lightning! Around 8 o'clock (last night) we heard this great crack! we ran and look out the window in time to see a part of a tree fall down in our neighbors yard. It was huge and it fell on the electric wire. All the houses to the right of us lost power. We thankfully still have it. We were glad no one was hurt and nothing was really damaged.
This summer (as i am sure i have told you) i am planning on doing allot of reading. Here the list i have compiled so far of titles that i have gotten out of the library:
- Stories and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe- Awesomely creepy!
- 13 Little Blue Envelopes-great so far!
- I capture the castle
- A tree grows in Brooklyn-great so far
- Animal Farms
- The best fiction of Rudyard Kipling

Cool isnt it! I already gave out 2 books. and for the first 10 books you post you get 2 free credits. I got Alice and Her Adventures In Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and The Westing Game. I am going to start collecting all my favorite books, especial form my childhood, so i can give them to my kids!
So to finish up i took this quiz:
You are a Brainy Girl!
You know a little bit about everything, and you're always dying to know more.
For a guy to win your heart, he's got to share some of your intellectual interests.
A awesome book collection of his own doesn't hurt either!
Well, i must go.

OMG YAYNESS you will like I Capture the Castle. I hope.
Guess what? I went to the library all by myself today and signed up for a volunteer summer job as a Book Buddy or whatever. I was very brave.
And I've heard of Paperback swap, hmm, maybe I should try it...

And I forgot to say, your dress looks divine. I am envious. Also I wish I were skinnier because I am pretty sure I'm like a 14 or even bigger in those old sizes...which makes it inconvenient if one wishes to purchase vintage clothing.

I've heard good things about 13 little blue envelopes, i capture the castle, and a tree grows in brooklyn. let me know if i should get them... ;-)
Edgar allen poe i LOVE LOVE LOVE, rudyard kipling i can take or leave except for "if", which is great. (actually hoping i'll be allowed to memorize it this year instead of this stupid sonnet in which you have to say resolved re-zall-vid to make it work) (ap brit lit is gonna be torture) (i think)
animal farm!!!! i absolutely loathe orwell, but 1984 is worse than this one. remember, it's a metaphor for communism...the first time i read it i thought it was actually about a pig's dream. dumb book ruined my innocence.
cheers!
