So I Think I Can Dance

Monday, Mr. Sabbe and I were strolling down Newberry in the middle of the day {doing what unemployed designers and husbands who work night shifts do} and there were some tap dancing street performers. They were good. And they were making some money.

I told Mr. Sabbe if I would have worked a little harder in my Hip Hop classes this past spring that could have been me {and he laughed}

This morning while clicking around the internet I found the Dance Complex in Cambridge. And I'm reading, planning when I can get back into training....and I come across their Work Study Program. eurkeka!

What do I have a lot of?....time!

What do I have a little of?...money!

For every hour you work for them you get a voucher for an hour of class! Ahhh the benefits of being unemployed in a major US city. So I'll probably be on the next season of So You Think You Can Dance....OR {more likely} on the corner of Newberry and Fairfield. I'll keep you posted.

Western Ruffle Necklace

aka The Bank Robber Necklace

There are a couple of these floating around the blogesphere these days. I was actually playing with my serger foot today {finally figured out how to use it} and from my practice piece I decided to do another ruffle {mildly obsessed with ruffles these days} I did this one by pulling the two end strings. Anyhow, I had this random little ruffle made out of this westernish material I found in the "not my favorite fabric" pile, sewed on embroidery thread...and ta-da....The Bank Robber Necklace was born. I don't think it would hide your face as well as traditional bank robbing gear.

I like it. I think I might wear it out. Probably won't rob a bank.

Here is a cute blog with a tutorial. I like hers better.

Lovies

For the twins! Twins are fun. Everything is cuter in pairs.

And, because I am becoming very high tech these days {I Skype and G chat} I have added one of those "Follower" things over there---> and I have figured out what it means to "follow" other people's blogs. It seems easier than keeping up with my friends links list. I am bad at keeping that current...too many people blogging these days {which I love}

Watch out now...I'll probably be writing my own HTML next week.

UPDATE: ----> I changed it to the subscribe button. I saw this one someone else's blog and I like it better.

I big {HEART} Regina Spektor

This has been my jam {as my friend Cyndie would say} for three straight weeks. Beatbox + group singing always = good times

Ruffle Skirt Onesie

As you can see, I am on a bit of a onesie kick this week.

I have wanted to make a ruffle skirt attached to a onesie for a while...so ta-da....

I think the photo would be much cuter with a little fat baby inside that onesie.

{a heart on the hiney for this one}

I'm catching up this week on unsent baby gifts.

And only because she cried and cried when Bryan was taking the pictures of the onesies...here is my fat baby...

Lately we've been watching reruns of America's Next Top model together. I think she's been taking notes. It may be the stage mama in me, but I think if there were a cat version she'd take the prize, hands down. See the second one...holding that pose without straining her mouth...that's not amateur.
{I promise I'm laughing while typing}

And I, of course, would be the Niles Barker of animal photography.
{nothing to laugh about there}

Game Day Onesies

That time of the year is quickly approaching! I doubt Mr. Sabbe and I are going to be making it to the greatest place on earth this year, but I will maintain my support for those who will with crafts! Along with a new football coach, we will be welcoming two new fans into the world. My dear friend Liz is having twins, Ella and Will.

{and I hope she doesn't read this post before I get these in the mail}

tiny hinies

I figure they'll get plenty of UT paraphernalia, but the most stylish fans always sport the colors without the logo. I can't wait to see babies in these!

Liz is a true fan, but her husband is the truest fan. If you follow UT football you know there was a season (2001) where Casey Clausen was cool and then there was a season (2003) where we all turned on him and blamed him for all of our shortcomings. Ryan was the one non-fair weather fan I knew who refused to bash the Ice Man. On a side note....does anyone remember the Miami Vice Homecoming poster?...pleaaaase say someone remembers that!....the boy had it coming.

Depending how the week goes I may start and Etsy shop. What do you think? SEC onesies? I won't like it one bit {ha, ha}...but I could do other schools too. Maybe with matching booties?
