This could be interesting...wish me luck!

A special boy and I ate out tonight at a restaurant called The North Star. Im so full, and it came out of nowhere too. I think my food multiplied in my belly. And meringue. What a revelation! I dont think i had ever had it before. So when we ordered an eton mess to share, and not only did it taste like my favourite strawberry tart from Maison Berteux, but it also had this wonderful...thing, that tasted heaven sent, all crisp and icing sugar dusted.

Magnificent. 

Breeders

I think Kurt Cobain once said that Kim Deal's voice should be distilled and archived. I agree. The Breeders played at Rough Trade east, part of the one year birthday celebrations for the store. 

The Deal sisters have this amazing ability to make everything feel alright. 

They had sisterly squabbles, burst out laughing in between songs, talked about their mom. All the while retaining the air of a kick-ass pair of women who just don't care what you think. Wonderful. 

Dominoes

I have been a busy bee, hoarding material, stacking patterns, ideas, writing alot and general gathering the things I need for winter hibernation. 

The pattern paper, pens and cloth are busy making a mess of my desk, along side all the books and camera film that are far too distracting right now. I enjoy those moments so much, the winter glow of being in a room, light pointed towards you, lost in the moment of creating something, no matter how simple. The concentration of the mind. 

I've been good though, so far in my lonely self-taught sewing adventures, I have managed to draw out an idea, and using measurements, cut out some kind of pattern (whether this actually makes the skirt...!). Im going to do a little more work at it, and put up some pictures asap.
