Ut oh... nevermind

[Intrepid Homoludens]

He makes a great macaroni & cheese, tho.

*sigh*

[rlpw]

Wow mac n cheese... Almost makes me want to bend... almost (snicker)

[tabacco]

I cook too. No bending, though

[rlpw]

Got me there Tab!! I love to do all the cooking!! for 2 reasons:

1. I always get what I want for supper
2.I hate to wash dishes

[tabacco]

Sadly, I live alone, so I have to do the dishes too. Fortunately, I have a dishwasher, so it's not too bad

[rlpw]

I have a dishwasher too. Her name is Emmy.

I just picked up some deep turquoise backing fabric and I have to pre-wash that with colour fastener before I start putting everything together. My quilt top's done, thank God. Cutting out squares is a pain in the arse, which is why my squares are so gigantic.

I've been knitting for years, most of my girl friends knit as well. It has become pretty hip for young women to knit, especially in my indie-nerd circle. We all knit cool stuff, no grandma or frumpyish clothes allowed. One of my friends knits at hip hop shows. I find that hilarious.

I actually moved to this apartment because my favourite knitting store is across the road. Heh.

I want to take textile design and crafting at art school eventually. I love making things with my hands and I really love sewing. I'm still a bit crap at it, but it's very satisfying to sew and I love scouring eBay for neat fabric.

Hey that sounds like me, you know checking out ebay for the fabric. I also check for other sewing things. I’ll let you know if I come across something you might like.

(Yes, I have made a quilt in the past.. I sleep under it most nights )

Boys who quilt or sew or knit are adorable.

I don't like fleece at ALL. I have really long hair and it gets stuck in the fleece which enrages me, and also I find fleece too hot. I like cotton because it breathes and because I want a big poufy quilt. I have cotton batting, too.

I've attached some pictures of my latest fabric purchases. Yeah, I said the quilt was ugly. Don't judge me. (That candy skull fabric is actually SPARKLY. I love it.)

I love that!!

That first fabric makes me think of Trep.

When I'm in fabric stores, I am always drawn to the fat quarters of quilting fabric. I want to buy a bunch of it but I have no time to do anything with it. I have old jeans and courderoys (sp?) that are worn out in places and other remnants like that that I've been wanting to put together and make a patchwork purse or backpack. I haven't done it yet though. I have to concentrate on other things.

I like the cowboy fabric, it great.

Like a crochet cowboy (bu dum dum)
riding out on a horse
in a macrame rodeo
