random snippets from life


French macaroons from Le Boulangerie in SF, random helicopter sighting on the 405 freeway, Babycakes in downtown LA, my favorite recent shoe find from thrifting!

here goes...

I know I'm years behind, but thought it would be nice to just keep a record of outfits and how my taste in fashion changes/doesn't change, keep record of diys, etc... So here goes my attempt at my own blog

un-DIY

Is it just me, or does anyone else have a hard time putting your DIY ideas into action? My ideas always end up branching out into variations of each other, and given that I'm like the most indecisive person I know, I never can narrow it down to one design... Hence my "projects", if I can even call it that, always stop at the brainstorming stage and I end up with mounds of fabric, heaps of beads, unpainted canvases,...you get the idea.

I'm in the process of moving right now, and this has forced me to see (literally) the amount of craft stuff I've accumulated over the course of about a decade... I am determined to slowly turn the pile of raw? material into actual wearable/usable products.
I definitely need to get more use out of my sewing machine.
I've recently been considering purchasing a serger, which I've convinced myself would be the solution to all my un-DIYs, which probably is another indication of my problem in approach to this whole DIY thing...but I'll deal with that some other time. Can anyone recommend a good and affordable serger??
