Um ... Monday evening?
1. I just got back from a whirlwind visit to my parents. It was so nice to spend more than a day (although, really it was only 24 hours) with them. I got see my mom for Mother's Day, go to the gym bright and early this morning with my dad and visit one of my favorite aunts. Then, a yummy lunch with my mom, followed by the local consignment shop and Sal Val. THEN. I had to hurry home and go to work this evening. I'm pooped! But it was so fun. Oh, did I mention I managed to forget my wallet? Dumb ass. So, once again in my life, I had to borrow money from the 'rents.
Anyway, my parents live in such a beautiful area and it's always fun to see how things have changed since I left (ten years ago!). So many times today, I found myself thinking, "Wow! That'd make a really cool outfit photo location!" What a nerd!
2. One of the small highlights of the visit was a little soft serve twist with sprinkles on a cone from the ice cream shop that was my first job. And owned by a relative! Mmm ... soft serve. I've yet to find a really good place around here.
3. My brother is coming home this week!
4. I got more crazy pants! Wheee!
5. I've been kicking around two ides. (1) Doing a giveaway for a pair of Friday's pants, custom made by me for the winner. And/or (2) Doing a brief video series teaching you how to follow the Burda pattern they are from and make your own. Thoughts?
Have a great week!
You should do a giveaway and make a video. For those who don't win, they can make your own.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantastic weekend!
My first job was at an ice cream store too! I love your ramblings posts.
ReplyDeleteI think both ideas are cool! I suppose whatever option best fits into your busy schedule. Maybe a video tutorial?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could pull off those pants like you can, but I bet a lot of people would love a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteSO green! Looks gorgeous! Hope to see a pic of your new crazy pants later this week!
ReplyDeletei know i would love a pair of those pants!
ReplyDeleteI would love for you to do a giveaway. I have been following your blog, and I absolutely love the pants you made! They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteHooray crazy pants. I'm down for a tutorial or giveaway or both. Either would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteI'd love a giveaway too, because I'm absolutely not talented in that area, and I'd never be able to recreate the great job you did on yours :-)
ReplyDeleteI'd love a pair of custom made pants from you!
ReplyDeleteI promise I'd send you a lovely hand written thank you note from way down under :)

I vote for the giveaway!! (only because I am hopeless at sewing, and am in love with your pants!!) You have great style :)
ReplyDeleteI love the first commenters idea! Give a pair away AND do a video! Best of both worlds! :)
ReplyDeleteI vote for custom made.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had such a nice time at your parents.
It really is beautiful at their house.
Video, video! I've been wanting to make something with my actual hands (ie not on a computer) lately, and crazy pants sound like a project I can do. Pretty please with a cherry on top?
