Sunday thoughts

i have been toying with the idea of learning dressmaking for quite some time now. It sounds so unlike me - but i would like to design my own clothes. It has also to do with the fact that i don't seem to find anything i like or if i like it, it is too expensive. i still have that lower-middle class mentality of thinking paying too much for clothes is a sin. There, i have said i. So sue me for being cheap.

It is also that i am itching to do something creative. Candlemaking in this heat is something i can't imagine - i have a mental block right now to it as well. i thought of taking up ceramics but the class registration closed before i could register so i will have to wait for the next session if there is any.

Oh, i celebrated my birthday last week - celebrate is not exactly the word when you inch closer to death...yes, i am morbid. i took a day off work and spent the day with the loved ones. i am tninking i should gift myself a dressmaking class as a belated birthday gift. That and a steam mop.

You know you are getting antiquated when you start thinking of steam mops as the best birthday gift - forget iPad or flowers or books. i could welcome books though.

Maybe i might sew a bikini!!! That would be simple--and it would be the skimpiest one ever, just two strips of cloth. And i would join the exciting world of haute couture. i love myself. Yes, i do.
