Wednesday’s Rant

Meme link goes to brilliant response to this jackass – Make A&F the  No. 1 brand of homeless apparel.  From the article  “A campaign that clothes the needy and gets revenge on a boorish clothing company — what’s not to like?”

I would try anything once…

Well,  almost anything.

This last weekend I worked on two freebie projects.

First, a quilt I promised as a first anniversary present for a good friend and co-worker. It is made up of extra fabric from her bridesmaids dresses. I’m pretty happy with it for a first quilt. This is it spread out on my drafting table. I’m just at the piecing stage.  The hard part is over, right? Right?

le sigh.

 

 

Second project is for a totally different co-worker.  I  love The University of Tampa, it is a big friendly wonderful place.

I turned a favorite Facebook icon she was using into a tote gift bag.  Hopefully I will get another picture of it once other co-workers fill it with goodies for her upcoming chemo sessions.  I wish her all the luck in world.

I love sewing!

Closet Costumes

I want to collect some ideas for easy costumes that either come out of your closet or can go into your closet when you are done.

First off, a classic, Isaiah Mustafa ( Old Spice Guy ) the man you wish your man would smell like. You just need a towel, some Old Spice, and hopefully some nice abs.  The preppy sweater and ability to ride a horse backward are optional.

Got a towel but not the abs?

How about Arthur Dent?

 

 

You will need a towel, a bathrobe, jammies and a book that says DON’T PANIC. I think an iPad would be even better. I consider the description of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy (the book within the story) to be the first description of a pad I had ever read.

I love costumes!
