"The girl is crafty like ice is cold! The girl is crafty - she knows all the moves" -- She's Crafty, The Beastie Boys

I had a wonderfully crafty and fun filled weekend. I spent Friday night drawing out, cutting up and sewing together a little bodice. I had a box of scrap fabric just waiting for something to be made with them....so, out came the sewing machine. You can take a look at how it turned out here. (The dark portion is dark purple velvet and it's lined in black cotton). I got so excited about how it turned out that I started a second one yesterday with the same material, but it's strapless and laces up the sides and the back. I made myself a little website this morning to post my creations (www.GarmentWizardInc.com). LOL, just what I need, *another* website, but , what's the use of having access to web skills and server if you don't use them?

Spent most of the day on Saturday at the tattoo shop being, quote "the shop bitch". They say that now, but ask the guys who showed up on Saturday afternoon with two large pizzas.... All I did at the shop was talk to customers, answer their questions, give my opinion on designs and roll around on a wheeled stool while watching "Donnie Darko" on the DVD player, but it was a nice relaxing afternoon. We are in the process of working on a design for my other foot since Dave told me he'd do the work as a gift to me for my birthday and since I cook for him all the time. I invited him over for dinner last night and I was so flattered when he asked if I would marry him....LOL...I told him to ask Dirk if that was ok....

Sunday morning we watched the Bronco's lose miserably to the Colts -- but, shhh, don't tell anyone I'm a closet Colts fan and really want to see them go to the Super Bowl. Then I got hit with a wave of craftiness again and started making the second bodice right after I made up a Tandoori sauce and started chicken marinating in it (served with a side of creamed spinach and yogurt sauce).

Dirk wound up going back into the shoppe yesterday to help Dave with all the walk-in appointments -- he's not complaining since he made over $300 this weekend for a couple of hours of work.

The only downside to our weekend was when Dirk walked out to his truck on Saturday morning to find that someone had hit it. He was standing outside bitching, while one of our neighbors was looking on. It wasn't until Dirk said, "See ya later, I gotta go call the cops on this hit and run" that the neighbor said, "oh, uh, I think my son did that..." Well, no shit....the tire prints up to the smashed in door lead right back into your driveway where your vehicle sits with scratches on it... stupid fuck...he's just really lucky it wasn't my car or he would have been wearing me on his head like a shreking banshee...
