Dilettante Dolls
Well, rollerderby was pretty awesome, even though the Dagger Dolls lost. I was there in my new DD toned tube top, though I like to think that I looked a bit saucier at the time, since the beret (another Knit and Tonic this time with Knitpicks Merino Style) was replaced by pigtails and the plain face with hot pink lipstick and messy black eye makeup. There is a big XO cable down the front, though it is pretty much impossible to make out in the photo.
I skated to the grocery store yesterday (while J walked) in preparation for derby tryouts in July. Some of the shopgirls are going to go for it, even though there is little to no chance of us making it. A girl can dream, right?
We also went to Design Collective in Uptown. It was pretty cute, but some of the stuff was mighty expensive for what it was and a lot of it I think I could make. I keep thinking that I have to get "serious" about my crafting. I really am a dilettante at heart even though I think I can turn out some pretty nice looking items. I tend to keep all the things I like for myself. I guess that is the curse of being an only child: all the good stuff for me me me!! I think I could make some cute things to sell, though. But the big question is... is it really worth it?
Here is the Shells Cardigan in all its glory. I am still getting used to the hook and eye closures and the fact that they are never going to come together in the middle. I almost like the look, but I still get the nagging feeling that it looks like I am wearing clothes three sizes too small.
