First--everyone's secrets are beautiful. I'd love to comment on each and everyone of them, but I don't have enough time on my break at work.

But this one--I just had to say something--

"Been with my boyfriend for 4 years and he 'doesn't believe in marriage'.
I was with my boyfreind for 2 years and he would't even say "I love you" because that was for "family only." He didn't beleive in marriage.

A year later he says he loves me all the time and wants to get married..problem is, I don't know if I believe in marraige any more.

I know everything will work out fine--but it's funny how life turns out. I'm sure you guys will make it work for you.

white trash hero: Your hair looks lovely! Is it hard to do reverse curls? I have this long hair I never do anything with and I would love to do it up in vintage dos, I just don't know how to do any of them.

But yeah, your hair looks great!

I knew a crazy lady who had poodles. She'd actually spin the fur and then knit with it.

She also used to spin dryer lint, too.

Super crazy.

Here's a couple of ones I found. Just a quick look though.



This is McCalls M5233


This is Simplicity 4132.

Would those work? They might need a little bit of tweaking, but just a little.

That's super cool. I use sheets for my big projects: curtians, wall coverings, recovering my couch.  Just so much cheaper than buying fabric by the yard. I even I'd be interested in knowing what other projects are in there.

AredRouletteKiss: Found examples!

This is the original artist's web site and he has tattoo examples. They look pretty rad.

My boss had decided she wants one of these bags. As I have run out of smaller crafts to do at work and have been bored out of my mind I have decided I'll make one. (I have SO much free time at work..if I didn't craft up here I'd go crazy) So I dug out my "Origami A Day" calendar I never used and I'm all set!

But, did we ever decide which way would be best? Sew up chains or do the origami fabric?

AredRouletteKiss, that is one of my favorite images ever. I bought the Threadless T-shirt, but I really want a full size wall mural.

It would make a great tatto! (I'm just too scared to get one)

If you get it, make sure to show us!

Every time I try to comment on how great your sewing skills are and how amazingly cute your daughter is, my computer freezes up!

So I'm trying again! Coat looks great and your girl just makes me smile!

Your rubberbands are GENIUS! I have the same hair problems and have been planning on make headbands with all my scraps and whast just thinking all the elastic I have looks really tacky. This is the prefect solution! You don't mind if I use it?
