Happy Friday + Randomness

March 15, 2013

 

Happy Friday! Every day, K makes me laugh. I can’t possibly record every single utterance, but these were my faves this week:

K: I’m so into bugs right now.

Me: Oh yeah?

K: Yeah, I love books with pictures of bugs with information and all that stuff. Chapter books are so last season ago.

********************************************************************************

K: Mommy, I really want an asteroid. A fluffy one shaped like a bunny.

********************************************************************************

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend! I leave you with a weekly haiku:

Have a lucky one
St. Paddy’s is this weekend
Don’t forget: wear green

    Love the illustrations (and the conversations!) but as an entomologist I have to make a correction… the phylum is Arthropoda, not Anthropoda!

      Ah, thank you Amanda! I’ve made the correction – note to self: double-check, double-check, double-check 🙂

    Gorgeous illustrations! Wow.
    Coincientally, I just made my son a shirt with a Stag Beetle fabric: http://cicelyingleside.blogspot.ca/2013/03/boys-stag-beetle-shirt.html
    He’s a budding entomologist too, I think.

The word that incites terror in most newbie sewing The word that incites terror in most newbie sewing enthusiasts: zippers. Now that I have a few years of sewing under my belt I’m less cowed by them, but there’s something about long, separating zippers that still makes me nervous. I powered through, however, and made this versatile twill hooded jacket originating from a @patterncouture_ zip-up hoodie pattern meant for knit fabrics that I modified a lot. I blogged about it! Link in bio if you’d like to see the different versions I created. 

To skip zippers altogether and make a truly summery garment, swipe and check out my NEW @creativebug Tiered Dress class (link also in bio!). Back to sewing more hot weather stuff because I’m going to Japan for a special trip next week! 🇯🇵🇯🇵
