P.S.

Hello there, for all two of you (MR and RC) (and NN when I clear my throat real loudly into your ear) who read this blog religiously, I am updating with a newsflash.

And no, there are no pictures of Kimchi Pizza, though that IS what I made for dinner tonight. And no, it wasn't a total success, but it's a keeper recipe. One of those that will only improve over time--

But, there's something else. I've made a new friend. Well, not friends yet. I just spent the last 3 hours tearing my hair out over getting the upper thread to pull the bobbin thread out of the hole, and finally realized that I hadn't pushed the bobbin in until it clicked. Goddamn gadgets and their clicks when things are set in place. Anyway, here she is:


Okay, I know, I know. It's Christmas. What am I doing with a new toy for Myself? Well, to be fair, I got it weeks ago! I just realized that this picture isn't that great because a. the detachable compartment is detached and b. the shadow of my canon is showing and c. i didn't take the camera off the fancy spot color whatever mode N had it on earlier today. I never used to be so self-conscious of my photo-taking skills before, but lately I've been noticing on people's blogs that nice words are just not enough. There are beautiful pictures scattered all over the place! Except for twitter, apparently. People upload tons of shitty pictures on twitter. So I got a twitter. So there.

Really wish I was taking a trip up north this winter break. Especially since I know someone up there has got one of these sewing machines... and could teach me so I don't have to decode this ridiculous instruction booklet. It reminds me of the time I put a new ribbon in my typewriter for the first time and ended up with black hands two hours later before I could raise them for success. But this is taking a lot longer than the typewriter...

Well, here's to many creatures and dinosaurs and giant felt typewriters to come!

Who remembers this? Anybody? I still remember the first time I saw this in that Landmark theater on Shattuck with Joy Justus and my jaw literally dropped off my face when the screen shot to this typewriter. Then I got the DVD and there was a Making Of portion where the woman Responsible for these felt beauts got interviewed! And, well, I'll just leave it at that. Before I get even more excited than I already am for the potential that this new sewing machine of mine holds...

Alright fine, maybe it didn't Literally drop off my face...

xoxo friends. Til Day Seven.
