Shrimp & Grits and all that Good Shi*

Today I did NOT ride the bike. I took my sewing machine on the BUS and then the SUBWAY and it completely sucked. I was nervous someone might bang into it and break off one of the plastic parts that poke out and it was h-e-a-v-y.

The great news is that it should be repaired tomorrow afternoon and I'll bring it home in a cab.

But I still got stuff done tonight. I made two no-sew tutus.
The black one will be for her cat look during the day, and she will add the purple one and corresponding belt for the witch look at night. She's going to be the most adorable witch ever.

I actually made the ends of the tulle flat or straight-across, but then cut them into angles after it was done. I think it looks prettier for the edges to be in angles. I hung it here on the coat rack and sort-of gave it a tutu "haircut" I also wanted the purple layer to be shorter so the black would peek out beneath it.


After work today I was walking through Bryant Park and they are ASSEMBLING THE ICE-SKATING RINK! Time is going by too fast! It was just summer-summer-summertime!



This cape is another button make-over piece. The cape was about $34.99 at TJ Maxx a while back. Maybe last October, but the buttons were shameful and I got these fancy ones for it which were about $30. It's still overall an affordable, nice piece. And it even has pockets.

I was able to be productive in part tonight, because we had shrimp & grits leftovers.
I cooked on the dollhouse oven last night.

This skillet looks HUGE on the tiny stovetop.


Of course it was a Martha Stewart recipe. And it was delicious.
