Cut the sleeve into a long continuous narrow strip to create a tassel. 



Attach the tassel to the end of your cap and TA DAH- 
you have a new winter cap :)

Got it Covered!



I have been very distracted by the untimely demise of my PC :(  
Everyone said " Get a Mac " and so I have bravely purchased a computer I have no idea how to operate. When I first brought Mac home I could not even open the computer because I had the apple logo facing me instead of upside down. 
But, enough whining- the one thing I could do for my beautiful little laptop was make it a cozy, padded case. 
Luckily ( or it's pathetic ) I already had fabric, batting, zippers and trim and 1 day later...

Sweet, sweet success! 
My beautiful Mac baby and accessories will now be safely encased when it travels with me to anyone, anywhere, anytime willing to help me learn all its features. 
The simplest, stupidest tasks still elude me.

Seeing is Believing




You gotta see this top to believe it. 
The top is made from strips of fabric ( obviously cut on the bias ) knotted together like macrame.
There are no seams- no side seams, no shoulder seams, no sleeve seams, no center front or back seam.
It is absolutely handcrafted, wearable art in the truest sense.
Rag and Bones is the label and $249 ( at Loehmans ) is the price.

last word on Wu

I found Jason Wu.

Where is Jason Wu??

So this morning I drove to my local Target store shortly after the store opened to view the Jason Wu launch...
and once again I was totally disappointed.
Not because hoards of female had camped out and beat me to the collection BUT, because where was Jason Wu????
There was no  frenzy, no posters, no cute dresses??? Had I gotten the date wrong???

I inquired "Where is Jason Wu??"

The Target employee informed that their store was not deemed worthy of launching the line and the closest Target that would be launching the Jason Wu line was about 40 minutes away!!! The 3 closest Targets to my house did not even rate launching the line. Seriously!?!
So maybe I'll eventually find some Jason Wu and maybe not.
Once again I have the overwhelming feeling that like all previous Target launches it will all be sold out before I ever even find a store that stocked it.
