i spent the day working on a batch of t shirts for renegade…i’m trying to make a bunch of little-ish things (under $80) since i know most fair shoppers tend to gravitate toward the smaller items. i have to admit, i’m pretty much the same way. unless the booth takes credit cards (which i do!) i’m a penny-pincher. still, i can’t fully suppress the urge to make fancier stuff. just have to find the right balance. also, i mean, what sort of little things can i really make? i think it’s fairly safe to say that nobody needs another plain little zip pouch. the ladies who are making those these days tend to be making them fancier anyway, which would defeat the purpose for me of having something smallish/cheapish for sale. i will have a TON of undies and some valerian cards. well anyway, i’m thinking…out…loud…

also, guess what i did this weekend?? i bought more plants! a spider plant (i’ve been wanting one for a while) and some more fittonia (pink!) to replace the pilea in the bathroom. the pilea was getting sort of leggy for it’s hanging planter. i realized after the fact that replacing pilea with fittonia is a little dumb, since it’s just another leggy little grower and that i should have taken home something dangly, more fitting of a hanging planter (the spider plant is too big for the planter in question) but! alas! it just means i will have an excuse to adopt another green friend when it comes time to re-pot the pink fittonia. heh.

ok, back to sewing. you know, i just got an idea and i think i’m going to try it out: a little 80s-style romper out of the liberty print knits! usually those things are usually a little *too* sexy for my taste, but something tells me that a crazy print combo might make it more acceptable somehow…
