The joys of haberdashery

Well the past day has been slightly crazy, (me being stupid me, and getting carried away with a whimsical idea without really thinking it through).
My 6-week Final Major Project (on which all my marks hang) I decided to change just yesterday, with just 3 full days to go. It is at this moment of sanity as I write that I ask myself WHY!! WHY!! and why am I sitting here writing a blog when clearly I have a ridiculous amount of work to do!?

Its through situations like this that my true charachter prevails I think. I was never meant to do anything 'in good time'. I was born to put myself under pressure and get carried away with spontaneous ideas. But whatever happens, I always manage to get things done on time, well, most of the time I think?

So now my project is basing itself more on aspirations and fantasies of little girls such as getting married. I am having great fun making a kind of small wedding dress thingy.
Im glad I dont work in a fabric shop, I went in yesterday and I just get so overwhelmed! I could honestly spend half a day or more in C&H just browsing! haha. I always end up buying pointless haberdashery [if haberdashery could ever be pointless, it always comes in handy for something] and far far far too much fabric and wool. I got ever so carried away in the fabric shop and had to unload on the counter and go back for more; the girl behind the counter said 'I see a project' in a wide-eyed manner which said to me 'how much does this crazy girl think she needs?!'. Even seeing rows of knitting needles gets me going.

So now you think im bonkers I shall end this blog as the sewing machine is calling me.

marbles well and truly lost,
