long sleeves

I'm getting tired of long sleeves with everything. I'd like to be able to wear light, fluttery things freely and not worry about freezing.  When will that day finally come~?  (actually, it comes sooner than I'd have thought...)

It's a two-for-one day!  I agreed to help out with a dinner at church the youth group was hosting, and part-way through the day (after I'd already put on the pink outfit) I got a message saying, "Dress nice!  You might be serving."  Darn it (I'd kind of expected it, but still...).  So I had to figure out what qualified as "nice" and also "waitress-appropriate."  As it turned out, I spent most of the night in the kitchen anyway, but oh well.  I had a really really fun time though, chopping up vegetables and chatting with the others who came to help!

I think I was tired when I drew this.  Does it show?  I had a nice night, though.  There was an event at my church for all the ladies—good food, good conversation, karaoke, chocolatey desserts...

counting down

Two days to Christmas, and one stubborn brother to shop for (he gave everyone exactly NO ideas, so we were all on our own).  I spent the night at my parents' and wore these clothes right out of the wash!! (yes yes, I do use their washer and dryer because my house doesn't have one.  I bought my own detergent to use, though!)  Actually, of all the laundry I did I managed to not wash any pants except pajamas (in my defense, it's not like I wear them very often), so I had to run home first to change before heading to the mall one last time.  Have to look my best (or at least decent) for the mall crowd!

happy december!

I had a long day, full of playing with small children. Generally this is alllllll good with me, but our church's congregational meeting went longer than the usual Wednesday-night activities, so by the end of the night I think all the kids in the nursery were getting impatient and stir-crazy. Also, one of them was getting kinda bossy with me. I don't take well to bossing, I think, because I was and will forever be the big sister of my family, which means I am the one who bosses everyone else. It can be no other way!

Hey look, you get a bonus mini-drawing of my outerwear! December greeted us with a picture-perfect snowfall, our first of the season. Of course it was a day on which I had plans to walk to a friend's! While I was out walking about town, I happened to pass some guys from the local news who seemed to be videotaping or photographing me as I walked by. Whether this made it into the evening news as part of a story about how It Snowed In Our City Today or not, I don't know because I don't have a tv. But if it did, I'm glad I was wearing a full array of colours!

red-orange-yellow-yellow

I don't remember what I was fretting about when I drew this picture... hmm.  Anyway, I'd just done my laundry (at my parents' house) the day before and came back with some of my favourite items.  So I wore them all at once :D  Skinny jeans, yellow tshirt, tabi socks...♥

christmas elfin

I was called in to work in my mum's department at work, helping them design floral arrangements while one of the regular designers was out with a broken arm (of course it would happen at the busiest time of year for them). Mum had talked to me the previous week about possibly helping out, but it wasn't until 10pm Thursday night that she actually called me and asked if I'd be willing to come in on Friday. Of course, I agreed :D

Afterwards, I went to see Scott Pilgrim (for the third time) with friends!

I realized while colouring this drawing that I'd forgotten to write in what all I was wearing, so I had to search my memory for the colour of the shirt and the rose earrings (I have two pairs of rose earrings, in pink and in red). That's the danger of getting behind on these. But I recalled the purple shirt that almost-matched the bandana, and I figured I would have worn red roses since I was dressing in Christmas colours (for which purple totally counts—it's an advent colour!)

elegance

I had to start a new layer in Photoshop for nearly every item of clothing in this outfit, what with all the sheer layered items.  Gotta keep it exciting!

nonsense girl

I tried out something new with my hair today—pigtails!!  They're so fun and bouncy.  I think I'll wear them again.  Kind of a mix and match, nonsensical outfit today.  I felt so happy with myself that I got motivated and pulled out some more of the jungly-mess that once might have been a garden.  Later I baked a butternut squash and made corn muffins.  Mmm, warm comfort foods♥
