drunken debauchery

alfred's bday party (a week early celebration)...kicked it off at elrio...

random strangers, but met a dentist...I believe Kevin and William




sorry for some strange reason i do not know how to turn it right side up




random strangers...i love this city
we then headed to zeitgeist no picture taking allowed. i don't care because i don' think i will be frequenting this joint. they treated my friend with disrespect. i will leave it as that.


allison's cute lil scooter! i want one! i'd get it painted pink and have hello kitty all over it! now how to put my suitcase on it...

then off to martuni's...i guess i was having too much fun, i did not take as many pics....hmmm...
maybe heather has some?!

today i did not feel 100%.
i went to work, had a few strange looks...i didn't care.
i finally went to the lavatory. i only drew in one eye brow. that is why everyone looked at me strange. later, my pen was leaking, got it all over my hands and my lips. i was rubbing my lips with my inked hands. oh how fun.

Oh my...found on etsy

oh my...

:(

trades?

I have no idea who reads my blog, but if you are reading this, would you be interested in doing a package trade of sorts? I remember back in the day on livejournal, I was part of a community where we traded packages...it can be filled with anything, I normally got a flat rate box and filled it with STUFF! I just got an unexpected package and can not believe how happy it made me. After a whole crap load of junk mail to see a lil package from Jean. It really made my day! I was being a slug all day and had no motivation to do anything. This lil package started my day rolling! So if you are reading this and are interested post a comment and let the trading begin! :)

so much to do...so little time

i just got back from narita, and boy am i wiped.

my loot from japan, i did buy more the next day but my camera battery died.

i have soo much to do, but oh so little time. i still have to fix my sewing machine. :( i am soo bummed.
today i did check out my singer, juki rep store and saw some nice machines.
drooling over this machine

the owner offered a price of $799, ummm....that is alot for this broke girl. do you have layaway? hehe....
i'd also like to have this, janome 1600p-qc but can not seem to find a price for this in the U.S.

babylock quilters choice pro (another one that I can not find prices on)

bernette 82e ($399)

OK enough geekery...i thought i would post these for my comparison shopping when I am ready to buy a new machine...
a pit stop to PEAPOD fabrics! the best lil fabric shop in the city! that is my dream job. i want to open a little shop just like hers. selling all my favorites under one roof. today i picked up 2 pieces.


it was another beyootiful day in the city!


okie dokes time to fix my sewing machine and see what i can do...

slowly dying

my poor sewing machine is dying...it has been a looong time....i guess it is time. i am going to take it and see what is going on. it keeps skipping stitches. some stitches are soo tight and some so loose. i tried oiling and tightening screws...nothing. i am very sad. and i am in the middle of a project. :(

this is the first year that i am watching american idol in its entirety, my vote...michael lyche for the boys. for the girls, i am torn between three. didi benami, crystal bowersox and siobhan magnus.

this weekend i really wanted to go to the pink parlour but no such luck. :( maybe next year.

alright, i guess i will take apart my machine and see what is up with it...

days of irraz

i have no idea why but i have very little patience
i have been having a lot of anxiety lately, i then start to lose my patience. the weather is not helping much it seems.
but i have been keeping busy and sewing like a mad woman.
i made a lot of pouches

just listed a bunch on etsy so check it out...
help this gal out with her fabric addiction, buy one for yourself and some for your friends...hehehe...

seriously, i know you wanna! lol

ok now that i am done with etsy, i should be getting my ass in gear and do some laundry while the sun is out for a bit...
