Narnie!
Here is the robe I finished last night:
It is named in honor of my favorite cat, Narnie! The cat fabric is so weird and creepy and great. Its full splendor is not revealed in my haphazard photo. Also, it fits well and is fun to wear. I can finally throw out that old flannel thing I have been wearing for years and rejoice in my creepy cats. I might add a pocket if I am feeling adventuresome. I made it last night whilst listening to the pop radio station. This is not really my type of music, but it is the only one that comes in clearly in my bedroom and so I did a sort of anthropological study of it. If anyone asks which two songs I downloaded surreptitously ...it is a secret I will take to my GRAVE!!!
I have started a jacket in baby blue barkcloth (say that five times fast). I have yet to wash the lining fabric, but cut out the outside this afternoon and plan to sew up most of it tonight. Maybe the laundry fairy will come and bring me clean clothes and fabric tonight! Maybe.
I think I will sew for a bit and then go charge me some dinner at a fancy (well at least not a take-out) restaurant. I am broke but thank god for Visa and Amex! Isn't it fun being a grad student?

hahaha! I can actually say (without lying) that it was not Justin Timberlake, but now that I have that "Love" song stuck in my head I will reveal that he was in my dream last night...

"No one must ever know...my horrible secret..."
I wonder if one of the squirrels that are always hanging onto the ivy outside saw which songs you downloaded...
Narnie looks so cool.

Love the robe. To me, it's more kitsch than creepy, but stylish. Much cooler than my home-dyed black towelling one that used to be cream (disgusting). It's fab.

Let me guess
"Shake your money maker" by Lucacris featuring Pharell.
"Shake yr money maker like somebody gonna pay ya"
I'm right.
