@drkknits That’s nice! I always think white washes me out so much.


@drkknits Remember, with a print going in one direction, you usually need more fabric than you do with an either-way design.


@randomknits @drkknits But I had no idea how forgiving sewing was when I started. I was intimidated thinking you had to do everything right.


@randomknits @drkknits Only starting to feel confident now I know what “rules” I can discard. 🙂


@drkknits I have one too. It fell out of my wallet on the street and I snatched it up embarrassed like it was contraband.


@randomknits @drkknits I think I’m going to do the Washi dress today, but my cotton voile is thin. Should I worry about “underlining” it?


Starting to see upside to single living. I feel like @imdominating. Why isn’t there a Die Hard marathon on TV RIGHT NOW?!


@stufromoz I am very tempted! You’ve got extra tickets? Or buy at the door?


@randomknits @drkknits Quilting with Liberty… The Amish side of me is AGHAST. YOU DON’T DO PATCHWORK WITH FANCY STORE FABRIC!


@stufromoz Thanks, will keep it in mind! Depends how obsessed I get with today’s sewing adventures. 🙂


@randomknits @drkknits If you’re usin’ up scraps, then it’s A-OK. AMISH THRIFT FTMFW.


@drkknits @randomknits It’s because I’ve got a splitting headache from working til 2am last night. Makes me a bit nutty.


Another upside to singledom: blaring Taylor Swift in the house. Yes, really. Suck it haters.


@drkknits Haha, that one needs to be a meme with something cute in all caps.


@drkknits I have lived here for ten years, and that still trips me up at least once a year. Nearly ruined a whole batch of cookies last yr!


@imdominating I will after. I’m heading out to get mah hair did.


@drkknits If you get bored with skirts, this was the first top I made: http://t.co/ISQFwQ7V.


@stufromoz I know, but it’s HUGE in AU IT industry. Recruiters contacting me for jobs from there all the time…


RT @drkknits: Drunk Blondie mix. Yuuuum. http://t.co/rDjh9dyX // I want to go to there.


@stufromoz Well, yeah. You have to separate wheat from chaff. I will never respond to Precision Resourcing again, f’rinstance.

Greetings. I come in peace from Planet Alfoil. @ Travis George Hair Lounge http://t.co/tNeb4AV1


Foils are out. In the process, got the best head massage of my life. *yawn* I need a nap.


End result of the Re-Blondening. Thanks, Travis! @ Travis George Hair Lounge http://t.co/Ysixk9CP


@randomknits Is that a Peter Pan collar? How stylish!


Dear Universe: I require one of these, stat. http://t.co/vUSNXOsR


@RoseRed_Shoes Thanks! I am really tempted to chop it all off for summer, but I need it long for Halloween. 🙂


@drkknits Come on, Roslin does too! I love how she’s always advocating throwing people out airlocks. She rocks.

I am the queen of finding cute, slightly damaged dresses at Target and wrangling a discount. 10% off for a belt loop that takes 2min to fix!


@ScottRhodie Mine did, and I’m on iOS6. Was your time zone correct?


Realisation: underlining only the front side of a dress was a stupid decision. Luckily, it’s fixable. Will need more fabric tho.
