i fought the law

...the law being uni and right now it's looking pretty good for the law's odds at winning.There is only a week and a half left of my semester at uni! And in that time, about 5 assignments need to be completed. So last night, completely contrary to what I should have been doing, I sewed my first ever solo semi-successful item of clothing. It is this skirt that you see here. It's made out of a stretchy-kind-of-jersey-type-tshirt fabric. And it is a dusty lilac colour. It took about two and a bit hours because I am self-taught at sewing (with a bit of help from my seamstress mother!) and at first I sewed it about three sizes too big for myself! So two and a bit hours included alterations.

So yay for a new (free!) comfy stretchy skirt to wear to the computer labs at uni where I'll be for at least two full days and nights this week!

On a more exciting and bitchin' note, I went shopping today (further inhibiting my chances of passing this semester) and got a SWEET bargain on a pair of Levi jeans.

That's right yes, they are black and red acid wash. The minute I saw them I knew, it was love. They are very rock compared to stuff I usually wear but everyone needs some rock in their lives! Also these are the first jeans I have ever purchased that have been too long for my too-long-legs. Bitchin'!

My two favourite songs for this week are: Laughing With by Regina Spektor and a really amazing version of Feeling Good by someone/someband called My Brightest Diamond. So beautiful!

Go here to play/participate in a supercute verification-code-game :) You post a comment, see what nonsense word that you get as a verification code and then come up with a definition for that nonsense word! Gorgeous idea simi :)

My next craft project that I want to undertake is a cloud-blue leather wallet. But probably after the 4th of June when my last hand-in will be safely tucked under the arm of a bristling Interior/ Architecture tutor.

Lots of beats and biscuits,
