PORTLAND It's pretty cool. Happy to be back with my boyfriend and his family, excited about the neighborhood, on the hunt for a job. The house we're staying at was in a pretty terrible state when I moved in here, so I have been keeping extremely busy getting it in ship-shape. Replaced 3 light fixtures, rented a carpet cleaner for a day, bought some christmas lights for $1 a box, and made the basement an actually pleasant place to hang out. Here's the reading nook I put together, probably my favorite part of the house. The painting was left in the garage by the last tenant, and the space fabric is just there till I make it a shirt. I'm really happy to be here!
Do you have your sewing machine? I had a closet full of old clothes from a previous life and came across a dress with so much material. One of those drapey hangy things that can go from being a sleeveless dress into a dress with an enormous cape. Hard to describe -- but I looked at the volumes of material and thought -- if I were flac, I'd know what to do with this.
