brownie bites are my friend

ugh, i so have the headache that will not die right now. but fear not, for i have taken some advil and had a big glass of water and i am confident that it will go away soon. the good news is that i don't have to go to work tomorrow. it's so exciting not to be at work on a day you normally are. i don't have any plans really except to sleep late and get caught up on lost. i love lost, but for some reason, the beginning of the season was so intense that i just started to put off watching it every week. now i am 9 episodes behind (i know i know, practically a whole season) and i have friends threatening to disown me if i don't catch up so they can talk about what's happening. hopefully i will be able to watch a good chunk of those episodes tomorrow. i've also recently become addicted to project runway. i just love watching them make clothes in such a short period of time. i wanted to be a fashion designer when i was in high school and i find the show fascinating. kara was wearing the cutest dress in this last episode and i found out that you can buy it from her website here (it's the kimono dress). i just wish it was a bit more affordable. i am not used to spending that much on a dress so i don't see myself buying it. but damn, it was cute.

speaking of sewing, i recently picked up this book:



i'd been seeing it on various blogs (can't remember which now) and was drawn to the awesome designs in it. i don't have a sewing machine or really know anything about sewing at all but this book is really inspiring me to learn. so if anyone has any other good sewing book suggestions or a recommendation for a starter sewing machine, please let me know. i don't really need another hobby, but sewing is something i've been wanting to do for awhile.

in other news, i am almost done with the last sleeve on the atacama sweater and i finished all of the pieces of the rowan kid's sweater i am making. once i finish the atacama sleeve, i will have a seaming party and do both sweaters. i am a little apprehensive, as i don't think i've ever actually assembled a whole sweater before. well i did do that one debbie bliss baby sweater, but it was made all in one piece. cross your fingers that everything turns out alright. and i apologize for the lack of pictures but the camera is still in the shop.

well my head is feeling a bit better so i think i will read a bit before going to bed. and if you're up, tune in to tbs cause o brother where art thou is on right now. tim blake nelson makes me laugh so much in this. night!
