I'm so happy that Björk has like a gazillion videos. She was the first (and only) plush I made up until last night when I got a hair you know where. That old one sat on a book shelf for a couple of years collecting dust in her hair, getting manhandled and probably witnessing some weird going-ons. I'd like to think I will make something for all of her videos/looks. I'm most excited about the Bachelorette and Hunter looks since they're my favorites. I absolutely refuse to do Grammy Bjork.

In some very unrelated news, sometimes I think Celeste looks like a Morlock from the 2002 version of The Time Machine. I'm sorry that I'm such a jerk, but you'll never read this. I only see the Morlock attributes when she gets her "the mailman is at the door again" look. This is her "I'm busy sniffing this crazy dandelion" look, so it's hard to see.

morlock.

self improvement is masturbation.

So I've been sewing a lot because I've got some time on my hands. Current projects are graffiti cross stitch, desk rabbits and more bag/tote madness. I gave up on that whole "making bags thing" a couple years ago and I only made them for my sister or my friends, but now that I have successfully moved my fabric collection THREE TIMES (with limited casualties) I HAVE DECIDED TO ACTUALLY USE IT. The Marimekko begs me to use it everyday, I swear. I'm at this point where I feel like if I use it, and I screw the project up, then I will never be able to see it again. See you in 30 years when my home is ceiling-high with cats, fabric and stray pins.

I conquered one project this week that had been bugging me for a couple of years. I bought these Star Wars sheets at an awesome thrift store in Reseda. I actually found an original Star Wars sheet, some sort of remake of the SW original and an E.T. sheet (!!!). I ended up trading them for a spoon necklace with a kid on etsy, but I kept one for myself. I made a couple of bags with it, sold them, and here I am stuck with this sheet STILL. I decided to cut out the death star, fill it with catnip and make a kitty death star. I made a prototype for my friend and he gave it to his kitty, she licked it all over and played with it like a kitty Godzilla um... eating a death star?
