9/11/08

I knew this day was coming up this week, but when I got up today I didn't see a huge amount of coverage. In fact, the Today Show was doing something pretty insignificant....

I remember that day. I had walked a couple of miles in the morning and ended up at WalMart. As I was shopping around I heard TVs playing what I thought was a mock-news report, or something from a movie that was saying that the Twin Towers were hit by planes. People weren't really reacting, so I didn't pay much attention. I remeber thinking what a beautiful day it was. On the way home I saw a bunch of Monarch butterflies which was so wonderful. You don't usually see so many together, and that fascinated me.

I turned the TV on when I got home and found out what had just happened. From that moment on I was fixated on the screen. I worried about my sister who travels a lot. We found out she was OK, but lost co-workers . So sad.

I cannot believe it has been 7 years now.

Ahhh...Project Runway:

Last night 2 designers got "auf'd".

I'm not surprised that Blaine was cut. His dress WAS "pooping fabric" just as Michael Kors said. It was a hot mess up in the back for sure!

I was somewhat surprised that Terri was sent packing. Yes, she did get defensive but the judges used to RAVE about her designs. Remember how Mickael Kors said that when her model turned the corner they could see that she was "someone you wanted to know"?????

She is a better designer than (in third-person) SUEDE! I don't see Suede getting to Bryant Park.

I could see Terri getting there.....I guess they just didn't like her attitude.

Speaking of attitude......Heidi definitely doesn't like Kenley. Her being mean reminded me of her hatred for that blond girl , Allison Kelly from season 3. Michael Kors LOVED Allison, but Heidi didn't. Heidi made sure she disappeared......

This isn't the actual picture, but it's very, very similar.....

I made a little trip to the yarn store yesterday, and found some cool Japanese yarn from NORO. the stripes are similar, but the color of the yarn I got was an ugly-pretty mix of blacks, greys, greens,acid green, peach, pink and a touch of white.

I will eventually take a picture of that, and the next Marsupial tote I am making now.

I love this beret pattern. Every picture I've see of it made up is flattering to its wearer.

I chose the wierd color yarn because it reminded me of those wierd Japanese comic-book type anime colors. Like a Lichtenstein poster.

I'm trying to get away from my normal blacks and charcoals and expand my color horizon.

Lately I've been drawn to greens for some reason. I usually go for fuchsia and pinks.

Before I forget.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROZANNE!!!!!I promise to check in on your baby in the next week or so. Perhaps we can take him out for breakfast.....
