Wooden Sign

Love these recycled wooden signs by William Dohman.



These words are all $32 and he'll do a custom sign with up to 7 letters for $42. Hmmm... for my sewing room... Create maybe?

Friday Night

Every other Friday night Eric works at the Brooklyn Brewery and sometimes I am bummed at the idea of spending Friday night all by my little lonesome. Then.... my eye gives a twinkle and I remember all the fun things I can do ALL BY MYSELF! Here is a list in no particular order.

1. PIG OUT! Eric is a bit of a healthy eater, which is great, but I always feel guilty when I want to indulge in some junk food. So Friday night is the only night I will ever get Burger King on my walk home from the train. Chicken sandwich with cheese. And a Coke. Yum.

2. NETFLIX! I am such a big fan of Netflix. We have an XBox 360 and an Xbox live membership so we can stream Netflix movies directly onto our TV. Friday night I can add all the movies I want to the instant queue! Ballet documentaries? Sure thing! Romantic, period pieces starring Emma Thompson? No problem!

3. GIRL TALK! I can chat, chat, chat all night long to my sis, mom, Allie, without getting one of those "can you go into the bedroom, please?" looks. I can shout "AND MY PERIOD WAS SO HEAVY THIS MONTH!" if I wanted to.

4. DRESS UP! I love trying on new outfits or new make- up techniques but I feel kinda silly playing dress up with E home.

5. MUSICALS! Blasting Les Mis and singing at the top of my lungs. Honestly, I do this quite often when E is home, but I know he doesn't really enjoy it. He wont say so because he knows I love it, but still.

6. FARTING! Ahhhhh. That's better. No, E and I have never farted in front of each other. In 7 years he has NEVER let one slip. I did ONCE and it was sooo awful. He doesn't burp either. Not that I'm complaining. In truth, its not that pleasant to be engulfed in another persons smelly gas, but on Friday nights.... WATCH OUT!

Anywho, I gotta go. Gosford Park and Chinese food are calling my name! If anyone wants to talk about VAGINAL BIRTH!! or some such matter, call me, because we totally can.

Vintage Pattern!

Just bought this fab vintage pattern from Etsian Joules.



Its such a classic look. I cant wait to make it!

Here are some more vintage pattern finds that I think would translate to today very well. I almost bought the bottom one, too. For me, with every pattern I make, its ALL about the fabric choice!

Stumbleupon

Be warned! When buying vintage patterns do some research on what size you will be. I'm a vintage pattern size 12 as opposed to a modern pattern size 8 and a ready-to-wear size 2!

Kathleen is Legally Blonde!

Listen to my girl Kathleen as Elle in the National Tour of Legally Blonde!



Miss you girl!

The Boyfriend

This movie was favorite of mine as a kid. Yeah, I was weird like that. Its the movie version of the musical The Boyfriend and it stars none other than Twiggy. It is so wonderfully terrible!



On a side note, while playing make-believe as a child I often stated "Pretend my name is Rose and that I have red hair." I liked to be specific about my look.

Halloween Past

Eleven years ago!

A girl can dream...

I WISH we could buy this house!
