shhh!

dont tell anyone, but im at work. i cant help it, the place is empty and i have nothing to do. i spent the last hour and a half checking out all of the sewing patterns at the craftzine archives (all 35 pages!).
pretty fantastic.

i had class all this morning, i was in a group who presented on chicago and environmentalism. i gave a mini presentation on how to be a green consumer, and why handmade is (or can be) earth-friendly. basically, by buying locally handmade or making your own whatever, you are a) eliminating packaging and transportation costs and fuel; b) you can ask whoever made your thing where the materials came from and make an informed decision whether or not you want to purchase it; c) can be pretty sure that fair labor practices were used; d) handmade products often used recycled materials! yay!

so pretty much i have decided that my project will be focused on re-using products to create a sustainable consumer path. because i love to consume. i do. shopping is my fave, when i have a bad day there is nothing that makes it better than a new american apparel dress and a cupcake. god im awful.

tonight im going to get my act together and do some hardcore sewing. im going to make some cute bags for my girlfriends, finish the straps on jacob's backpack, and possibly start some pjs. other than that my plans for the evening involve laundry, yummy snacks, and a good movie. preferably 80s.

k well im off, ill post pics later!!
