Pretty hands do pretty things

Sunday was a super busy day. Super super duper busy. I passed out on the couch when I got home and woke up to Bobby trying to feed me sushi for dinner. He was literally trying to feed me a tuna roll while I was sleeping. It's a really odd thing to wake up to.


The morning, however, was exceedingly pleasant. I met with the lovely Allister Ann for an early brunch at Balthazar, followed by a little walk around SoHo and the East Village. It was my first time meeting Allister but I've heard so much about her through our mutual friend Jeremy, it seemed as though I've known her a long time. She's just the way I imagined - super charming and adorable, and ridiculously talented to boot. Check out her photography and get to know her on her blog; she is sure to become your new girl crush.



That little dog is often outside, patiently waiting while his mom sweeps up the sidewalk. He's a funny little dog. Doesn't he look concerned?

The rest of my day consisted of boring work and business shenanigans that I won't bore anyone with, but I did find time to spend with Bobby on his one day off. I made this dress the night before as a break from work (which makes no sense, since work = sewing), so I also made sure to take some photos of my outfit. It's technically a reconstruction of a dress that Kim picked up at a thrift store or possibly Jet Rag, but the only part I left in tact is the very bottom tier. I treated the rest as regular fabric; it was a truly hideous dress but had pretty little details.  I wish I would remember to take before pictures but I'm always so impatient. I had enough trim left to stitch to the top tier, which was a happy coincidence. I hope Kim likes the dress because it is hers! I had to turn the belt around for a couple of the pictures, for obvious reasons. My mom found my old belt in storage and gave it to me when I was home for Amanda's wedding. I had to put another hole in it to get it to fit (and I use the term "fit" loosely) but I'm so happy to have it back! I wish I had pictures of me in all of my western gear on my little pony...I really thought I was the coolest kid.
