hm. I don't know what to say about today. My new music rocks. I woke up this morning feeling totally rad. I was still amused by the flirty Cal students who checked me out yesterday while I was walking to the movie theater. I was rested, alert, happy, bubbly even. Jemuel stopped by the shop to say hello and that was nice. By the end of the day I ( Read more... )

Things are going so well! Yesterday I finished my mini top hat and purchased a bunch of fun hat trimmings. Today I put the trimmings on three hats I'm in the middle of. All I have to do now is put linings in them and stich in some combs. Then I get to have Jillian model them for me so I can take pictures and start a web portfolio for real ( Read more... )

last night I whimsically put up a post on craigslist (under the strictly platonic section) for someone to chat via instant message while I was working on some hats. I expected to get replies, say, tonight. But pretty much as soon as the ad went up I got about 10 pings from folks. after much filtering, I narrowed it down to 3 people. Of course I ( Read more... )
