head over feet.

erin cut my bangs yesterday. i thought it was photograph worthy.
















sometimes i like to take pictures of myself making ridiculous faces. don't judge me.

what do you think of my bangs though? i like them. i wanted them like a fine frenzy in the video for the song blow away... i think we got them pretty close.






christmas brought in a good haul. tyler got me a sewing machine. a brand new one! its a janome. and i love it. my mom and dean got me a book on simple pattern making, and a pattern i found online for a dress. its wonderful. my plan was to cut it out today... but i don't have the right kind of fabric... so i sort of got less interested in doing that today. kaetlyn got us a fantastic set of wine glasses. nice and thick so they aren't going to break if you accidentally tap them on anything (i hate that). andrew got me a large pot (which i desperately needed for making chili so it doesn't overflow when i stir it... so annoying) and a cast iron casserole dish. which i don't think many people that i have told about it understand how awesome it is. i cooked our carrots and beets for christmas dinner in it. it was lovely. tyler's parents got me a bread maker and a hand mixer (i have yet to use either... but i am working on it!). rhiannon made me an apron. and on one side she printed it herself. and the other side has a really cool fabric.

all in all... everything is fantastic and very useful. i am well on my way to have a fully equipped house with all the bells and whistles.

tyler got a second wii remote. we've been playing mario kart a lot. its pretty much the only video game i will play... other than rockband. which we also downloaded a bunch of new songs for and have been playing that a bunch too. wow. we've been doing lots of fun things! we downloaded public enemies - it was awesome! and got all caught up on the current season of the office.

i don't work again until the 4th (other than a hockey game on the 2nd). so i have a ton of free time. i have some pattern making blocks that my friend dessy from fashion school in montreal mailed me. i think i will go pick them up today. i'm pretty excited about that. i can make skirts for work! cute ones. designed myself to fit me perfectly... that is if i can jog my own memory on how exactly to make a pattern. agh. i think i can remember.... or have enough stuff still kicking around to make myself remember.

anyway... thats all. its time to get busy!
