I went to a craft night last night for the first time in a really long time a la Christy's suggestion and was introduced to the world of tie dye.

I recently left my hair kit in a taxi loosing all of my product, irons, brushes, combs, pins - basically everything I'd need to do hair on a shoot not to mention the bag it was in. Yesterday I stopped off at ion studio (who I will be working with weekly from this upcoming weekend on -) and they donated a TON of stuff to the re-growth of my hair kit. In lieu of having all of these new things I figured I'd need a bag to put all of these new things.

SO I walked my monstrous little dog to American Apparel before craft night and got myself a new tote bag.

Um, does anyone know how awesome tie dye is??? I kind of want to tie dye everything. I can see how this can easily get a little out of control. I am going to get some ratty old t-shirts to do next and possibly 7 more pairs of socks.

Now taking suggestions on things to tie die...

Bag.

In other news, I've been kind of knitting again, I have put some new stuff up in my etsy shop and I am currently working on a little pillow for a friend who bought me yarn to knit it almost 2 years ago. I figured maybe it was time to finally get around to this little pillow.

I have decided, this winter is hibernation and crafting. I'm excited.

Next big craft:

Ello Ello.

So I've left my camera with a friend to borrow so I'm pictureless as far as my new tote bag's go that I've been working on but, I do however have some camera phone photos from my trip to Montauk this last weekend. I've been out 3 times this summer already and I am trying to plan on how to get a summer house out there next year so I don't have to come back at all really. I took the L.I.R.R out this time for the first time and it really isn't bad at all, especially when you have friends to keep you company.

Back to work as soon as I get back but, it's a bit mellow the rest of this month. I guess everyone takes a break before the chaotic fashion week starts in September. I'm exhausted already and I haven't even really started booking any of my shows yet.

I'm thinking of starting a project that has to do with t-shirt transformation. The first one is about to happen this wed so, I'll post a photo and see how it goes - opinions muchly appreciated.

Well, another day of working ahead of me and another day of waking up incredibly early because of an alarm on a cell phone that isn't mine... *ahem*. Next time said alarm on said cell phone wakes me up to the point where I have to wake up its owner to turn the stupid thing off, I'm going to throw it out the window. Not even kidding. Bye Bye iPhone.

Anyway, I got some new stuff that I'm going to be posting up on etsy in the next day or two. I found some killer stuff at a somewhat secret thrift store right by my house... A sneak peak?

I was almost tempted to keep that purse for myself but, I figure don't get too attached to things otherwise I'm never going to be able to part with anything. There are other purse fish in the sea. This skirt I'm pretty amped on. Its a Liz Claiborne with the tag's and all! Its even got the extra buttons in a little baggie on the skirt! I already have it posted up here.

I've been doing a lot of freelance work lately, which is why I think I'm so tired. I've been working as much as I normally do at my coffee shop job but I've been doing way more freelance work so I've barely had any time off. It pays off in the end though. Yesterday's call time was 630am so, I was up at 5. Awful time of day to be awake unless you've been up since the night before.

It was my first runway show yesterday and I didn't do makeup but, I did hair and it was AWESOME.

My roomate and I got excited about the knit hat's and arm warmers that were in the collection.

Anyway, thought I don't have pictures of it yet, my Scarfy-Cardi is coming along sooooo beautifully! I sewed on the scarf yesterday and now I'm working the front panels. I can't believe how well its turned out and now I'm kicking myself for not keeping track of what I did to write a pattern for it.

FO to come soon.
