oh yes! back on the block, baby!

oh, man, it's so good to be back; did ya miss me? my internet was down for awhile, but i'm back in business now. i must say, i had serious withdrawal symptoms though. if anything good came out of this it may be that i got LOTS of reading done. oh, and i found time to get back to my crocheting AND sewing. i made lots of outfits for myself, and dd. i made her this skirt we see in all the stores now, denim up top and another fabric flared at the bottom. she wanted one, but i refuse to spend lots of money on something 1) i can make myself (and probably better), 2) isn't worth all the money they ask for it. are you checking out the flimsy fabric they use for things now? it urkes me.

anyway she loves it and wears it all the time. it really makes me happy to know i've pleased her in such a way. i guess that means i'll be making her another 1- or 2.

besides purchasing fabric for clothes and such i already invision, i also have been straight HOARDING. there's a spot really close to me that sells fabric for $1-$1.50/ yard, and i don't mean junk fabric. i'm talking linen, wool, calico, fine polyester and african prints. i think i'm going to make some garments and sell them on-line- we'll see. i don't really know how to go about that in a productive way. not yet at least.

well let me go; must wake up dh. nice to be back, and i'll check in real soon.
