sewing project

here's an unflattering picture of me at the wax museum (with george h.w. bush) in south dakota. the sweatshirt i was wearing was just that: a sweatshirt. the back says "Spartan Cheer," but nothing on the front. it's boring and constricting in the neck. so...



so.... on my only day off between new years and memorial day - MLK day - i decided to do a project. i put a zipper in the above pictured sweatshirt to make it a jacket! i searched online for instructions and it turns out... it was a fairly easy project and look at the sweatshirt jacket now!



my cheer coach friend asked if i'd do the same for her sweatshirt! wow, i should go into business! (ok, not really.) but it was fun!

what other projects should i do?

A business is too much work, but I'll hire you to sew my sweater any day. You're great!

Also, have you been to a wax museum before? I had a dream when I was younger that my mom kept spitting at the presidents, waiting for them to twitch or something to give away the secret that they weren't really wax. She denies that the dream ever actually took place.

Blake, that wasn't a dream. OK so I wasn't spitting but I was making movements and noises trying to get the wax people to move. I was convinced that they were watching me and that they thought we were the funniest things ever with the comments we were making about them. (And no, it wasn't because I'd had too much sun that day. How do you know they really are wax?)
