Ouch! What on earth were you cooking?

At least I know how to cook. I can't clean or sew or run a home, but I can cook and I can shop smart, so I'll make a fine bachelor. And if I ever get my mrs, maybe I'll learn those other things.

But not sewing. I don't like needles. And it's boring, like what old ladies with no lives do.

HEY! I represent that remark!

Actually my latest couple of sewing projects have been rather interesting. Just finished some Poodle Skirts for a Girl Scout Sock Hop this weekend. Clare's troop made 15 of them as a fundraiser for our NYC trip. Thr girls did the cutting out and appliqueing of 'records', musical notes and poodles. I tacked some of the appliques that hadn't been glued on too well, then put waistbands on the skirts.

Next I'm going to make Clare's costume for the upcoming AnimeCon. She's dressing as "Dark" (whoever that is). I'm going to make her a full length black vest, and we found her some very long black satin gloves and little black wings. I'll have to get a picture of her in it and will bring it to Entmoot.

I stopped sewing clothes a long time ago because i realized that I could find them cheaper than it would cost me in fabric and time to make them; even the better clothes like Lands' End, Talbot's and Eddie Bauer. I've become a SALE shopper! Besides, if I sewed more, I couldn't FREEP as much!

uh hummmmmmm. I'm not old. I'm not boring. And I have a great life talking to all you people I've never met in the hobbit hole.

Jen, are you there? Jen, are you listening? Hello, hello? Mumble mumble, it's so hard talking to invisible people.
