Florida Souvenir Skirt

Here's another project that I started at least a year ago. The day I found this fabric in the local quilt store I bought it, washed it, and cut out the skirt - I even marked the darts, which is a sewing task I loathe. And then? This just sat in the sewing zone. Until now. I put ric-rac along the waistline, with larger ric-rac around the hem. I've been wanting to try this particular style of applying ric-rac, which is a delightfully kitsch sewing trim. Yay, another finished project!

Adam Yauch (MCA) of the Beastie Boys has cancer :( Fortunately, according to a video he posted on the front page of the BBoys web site it's very treatable. Still, they've postponed their tour and new cd.

Stupid cancer.

Here are the Boys being silly, this is one of my favorites - Spike Jonze directed this one, I saw he's directing Where the Wild Things Are.  If you saw the newest Star Trek film, you may recognize this tune:

If you didn't know - the B Boys are my favorite guilty pleasure.

Cowboy Boots!!

I cannot adequately express my love for these boots. The blue would probably go with more wardrobe items, but they have purple too! And a nice tawny orange. Sadly, this discussion is purely academic as I do not have a spare $348, or they would be mine - oh yes, they would be mine.
