A few random happenings.

I spent this morning drafting a new pattern. I'm determined to have a few fancier items for fall/winter. I have this loose weave wool blend fabric that was a bit too colourful to use before. When I started making my fleece dresses I noticed the four colours of fleece were all in this rainbow wool. Now I can make some cool dresses that work with the rest of my line without needing to buy more fabric. Score!!

Then this afternoon as I walked home from Tim Hortons I was Tyler Stewart of the Barenaked Ladies on his bike, just standing by the curb. He was setting a very positive example by wearing a  helmet. We just nodded to each other and I kept walking. Still cool though.

And less then an hour ago I was carrying my sewing for the week into my apartment when I slipped on the stairs and did a header into the banister. I can still move my jaw, so no permanent damage done. Although, I have been typing this whole blog with my left hand as my right is holding ice to my face. The lesson I learned: Don't carry 2 large bags full of heavy wool fabric down smooth, wooden stairs in sock feet.
