Why do you look worried, lys?  I wonder...  Maybe because I wasn't happy with my hair.  It's going through a phase, you see.  Rebellious and all that.  One day it'll grow up and learn to be more responsible...

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!

more christmas crafting

Tada!!  The reason I went to the fabric store that day—I needed materials to make potholders as a Christmas gift.  (I still may make some for myself too, as I currently have to make do with a spare towel or two.)  (also this sketch is a lie—I totally used a sewing machine and NOT a needle and thread. but needle-and-thread was easier to draw.)  I brushed up on my sewing skillz... it turns out I can still sew in a relatively straight line with a sewing machine!  Go me!!  I'm a little skeptical of my ability to do anything more complex, though.  Once, with a lot of help and advice from mum, I made a fairly simple skirt, but otherwise most of my sewing experience comes from making sleeping bags for my and my brothers' Beanie Babies back when those were the hot new thing.  That also involved a bunch of straight lines.  Still, every bit of practice helps!!  And it's so fun to see something nice come together from a bunch of fraying scraps of fabric, right before my eyes!
