So Much for Next
I went fabric/pattern shopping today. Did I need more fabric or patterns? Absolutely not, but...patterns were on sale. I found this lovely pink/brown polyester print, a greenish cotton print I plan to use for a skirt, 2 coordinating fabrics for details on the skirt, 6 yards of yellow cotton/poly blend and 1.5 yards of pale yellow cotton with teeny flowers for a blouse. I'm energized! A little sewing tomorrow, tanning and taxes (ugh). Hopefully I can get the skirt finished in time to wear to work on Tuesday - thats the plan anyway.

Next on the Sewing Agenda
I started this dress last spring. Cut out 5 projects...completed 2 got stuck on one then life cut in. I'm ready for the challenge and possible disappointment. Cause it does happen...things don't fit and I get discouraged. Wish me luck and perseverance!

Just a Hop, Skip or Jump
I seem to jump around a lot.
Translation: my attention can be commandeered in an instant, a blink of the eye, at the drop of a hat, well...you get the idea. It happens fast. Let me out and about on the Internet and I'm like a fat kid eating cake. I adore the Internet; it's a lot like a great encyclopedia, but better...much, much better.
Hop: Just last week I wanted a dog, not just any dog mind you, but a very specific (as in he already has a name) dog.
Skip: The excitement sparked again about Pennsic Wars, the big SCA yearly gathering, because of a fabulous picture gallery I stumbled upon.
Jump: Then, looking for a "how-to" on parasol making I came across a Burning Man website.
When I thought about what draws me to Pennsic and Burning Man, I realized I could get my fix, for now, through Ren Faires, museum visits, and camping with my family. Not the same, I know, but it's better than not playing, participating, creating just because it's not feasible to do the others.

Did another blogthings thing...
Your Personality is Very Rare
Your personality type is dreamy, romantic, elegant, and expressive.
Only about 5% of all people have your personality, including 6% of all women and 4% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Perceiving.
Dreamy? Yes. Romantic? Yes. Elegant? Not so much. Expressive? Very.

A Puppy or a Guppy?
I really want a dog. A Yorkie. I found one thats at a rescue, his name is Scooter and he is the cutest. Doesn't he look like he's a smarty?
Maybe not tho, puppies poop, guppies don't. Well, they do, it's just not likely that you'll step in it. He is adorable tho.
