I Don't Give a Damn About My Reputation!

Another beginning to another long week in this long hot summer with, sadly, not much to do in a place like this. Saying this is actually quite sad because for most of us the summer has just started. It just seems like all I do is sleep and watch Doctor Who and whatever else. I have been spending time with some really good people though. They are really fun. We mostly just hang out at the river that we never get into because it is colder than dry ice. We also hang out at the park really late at night and just play around. It is really nice. I miss being a kid and never having to deal with anything. I like just being able to spin.

I plan to glue a camera around my neck pretty soon so I can introduce you guys to my world. It is pretty boring but some of the things that go on you can't see much of anywhere besides here. Like Art Walk. Art Walk is held downtown every first Friday of the month. It is so much fun and it is filled with the people you eat lunch with at the school cafeteria. Your usual stoners and artsy peeps, some preps not most usually, and you not-so-everyday people. They are fun to watch and get to know. You meet the nicest and coolest people there. I plan to go this Friday and show you guys how it is.

I have also been very busy sewing. I have finished dress number two for the most part.




The dress flares out at the bottom. I would have to pull it out for you to see. As I was putting it together it kept reminding me of the things I would dress up in when I was a little girl. That is a very good thing because that is the whole concept of the entire thing. I think I am going to hem it a lot I don't know if I like the dress that long. I have mixed feelings about everything I have made. I think it might be just because I made it. I don't know. If you have any opinions, any opinions at all please don't hesitate to tell me.

As I was making this dress my Dad came in extremely excited about this new station he found on Pandora. I think it was Lily Allen. A couple of songs in, I heard it. I heard the song. Right as it started I knew. I knew it would be the song that would be playing as these dresses started walking. It is Trouble is a Friend by Lenka. I have listened to Lenka for years and I was so glad to find out that she sang this.


I had heard this somewhere before and when I asked who sang it I hit myself and said DUH!

Lenka is super cool and so are her music videos. 

I was listening to this song all weekend and I started thinking about the walking and I also came up with the idea that I could find or put together a mix of all the Disney princess movies' theme songs. I also thought that that would be expected though. If you have a preference, LET ME KNOW!

I have been teaching myself how to flat pattern over YouTube and one of my really good friends' Mom knows how and she dropped off some books for me to look at. It is all staring to make more sense which is a major relief! 

I was going to say something but I can't seem to remember... I guess if it was really important it would come to me. Oh well. 

Have a great week! I hope you enjoyed!

    1. Thank you so much! It took me about 6 hours to make the dress. Including breaks and what not. I haven't started the newest season yet :( I have been meaning to get to it! I think the next Doctor Who should be either Andrew Buchan or Benedict Cumberbatch. Or possibly a ginger. Like Ronald Weasley! I think he would be awesome!

      I read some of your blog and I love it. I hadn't heard that Karl was making that collection! That's cool! I made a Bloglovin' account. You should send me the link to yours so I can follow you!
