Gray Skies and Purple Socks

So it's the first day of my new blog! And I have no idea what to do with it! I'm making this as part of a class project. I'm a senior in college developing an independent study on feminism and the handmade movement in Chicago. I'll be making my own clothes, sewing everything I can think of, going cool places like depARTment and the Renegade Craft Fair, reading tons of blogs and seeing how people network, and a whole bunch of other fun crafty things!

Besides all that, I'm sitting in my apartment wrapped in the sea green afghan my grandma made me, eating Annie's organic mac and cheese and watching Malcolm in the Middle. It's so ridiculously gray, cold, and windy outside - I have class again in three hours, and am not looking forward to the trip there.

My grandparents were here this weekend, it was such a fabulous weekend! I love my family tons, and sunny skies and warm weather made it great for shopping (which we did lots of) - found the cutest shirt for my cousin Jacob that said "McDreamy" on it (gotta be a Grey's fan to get it...oh and Jacob's five by the way). We had such a good time, went out for good, got to talk a lot about life and what I'm doing next year. Graduation is creeping up on me and I still don't have a plan for what I'm going to do if I'm not in grad school. Yikes.

'K, well I'm off to do some sewing (uhm, or maybe take a nap....)
Laters!
