Cockroaches and Blouses

I have had enough of living in the dorms. Since its getting warm, all the cockroaches have been coming out to play. One just jumped out of my face cloth right as I was about to dry my face. EW! I am so grossed out. My roommate and I just laced our room with poison, so hopefully that will solve the problem.

In other news, I am nearly finished with my blouse! Our first project, the skirt, did not go so well for me. I am happy that this time I slowed down and paid a lot more attention so my blouse is looking good. It fits me perfectly too! We were given a standard pattern and not allowed to alter it, so I am glad it was made for my size. I still have to add the buttons and finish the bottom and sleeve hems, but it will be done on Tuesday.



Our next project is a jacket. I have chosen a really nice navy fabric with a really cool texture. It is almost like tweed, but less rough. I am looking forward to the project, I am going to make it a private school style blazer.

So while I was browsing around DeviantART, I found this amazing shoe designer! She is from Belgium and has been making these shoes, but has yet to get them manufactured anywhere large scale. Are they not the coolest things ever? I love the owl shoes, those are my favorite!
