as long as i'm sewing

so after a trip to ace this morning, the glass knob is looking fabulous. however, even after the trip to osh, the doorknobs still won't work. hmmm....but i was able to sew up the second pillowcase in a jiffy. pillowcases don't take long and you can kinda even get away without sewing in a perfect line. anyway, i love making them. the trouble is finding fabric you want to use. i want to make some for the second guest bed, but we haven't picked out sheets yet. which is because we don't have a second bed yet...or air mattress, whatever.


i also put up a little pic of some vegan cupcakes i made last year. the frosting turned out to be a disaster, but i love the colors. even if it looks like pastel colored snot.

today i got a mass email at work saying there were free tickets for the national rodeo, that my company is SPONSORING. i think i nearly puked on my computer. seriously, the rodeo? hey, everyone, let's get together and be assholes to animals. give me a fucking break. i'm so sick of people making excuses for the horrible things we do to animals.

and yes, i know i'm an asshole that eats dairy.

with that said, i know i'm the pot calling the kettle black. and i have no excuse for myself. regardless, it makes me really upset that 1) my work is funding this shit and 2) that they wouldn't think that their money might be better spent on an event that isn't pure violence. the rodeo = death and violence. why is this ok? like talls and i were talking earlier, why do people who "love" animals eat them? if you love something, i wouldn't think you'd eat it in the form of a fecal, hormone ridden peice of ground up grossness.

sometimes i wonder if people who eat meat really know what they're eating. because trust me, if corn had bits of shit in it, you can bet your sweet ass i wouldn't be eating it.

who put the r in rad?

i love fixing things up....i love projects. i'm almost done with a gift for someone....i have one more pillowcase to sew for the guest bedroom. all's i can say is, god bless the japanese and their fabric. anway, i'm quite pleased that the guest bedroom is on its way to completion. we just need to find blankets and a comforter that match. yeah for macy's and sheets! and for their lovely pink towels to go into the guest bath. but we should have gotten more.

i am, however, not quite pleased with the doorknob situation. it's my vault for not taking apart the orginal knob in the first place to see what it looked like. but in my defense, i really didn't think the building of doorknobs had changed much in the last, oh, you know, last FOREVER. so my pretty little glass knobs sit in the drawer until we figure out a way around it. i know what needs to be done, i just wish i didn't have to goof with new whatever they're called. and i'm frustrated that the little knob for the telephone booth needs a little whatever it's called to work. so be warned, if you have a house built in the 70's, most modern things will not fit. i highly recommend going to a neighborhood hardware store. home depot NEVER has anything that will fit our house, but the little ace down the street has everything we need.

in other news, i'm in love with osh.

p.s. i fully admit that i'm horrible at making beds. suck it.
