bE still my beAting heaRt...


I must confess (something about writing to a public that seems rather confessional....) that ever since I became the proud owner of 'StellandMe' it feels as though I've gone back into my childhood and own a tamagoochi...constantcaring, checking up on and feeding pictures (visual is as much a nourishment as fish food and what have you!).

First off I'd like to say thank you for all the positive feed back I've been getting during the past few days... either you are all brilliant liars, my mother or just simply too kind =] But on a more serious note (gotta have some of thoseas well) Thank you!
And now.... Ladies and Lady-Fabulous men- Today for the first time in many, many months I found myself
sitting in front of Elna-my dear sewing machine. We had a bit of a chat, I offered to oil her hinges a bit 
(that's supposed to sound just as dirty as it did!) and then, out of no where (good thing I was sitting down) 
I turned her on (the oil helped I guess) placed a well chosen fabric and began to sew! 
Gasp, Gasp you go?! so did yours truly. And my, my, my what a feeling it was... almost like riding your 
bike and having the wind brush through your hair (and introduce insects to your face at an alarming speed).
It was pure delight. I had no idea I missed sewing as much. 
Elna- she wasn't in the best of shape, but she's a good girl- she caught her breath rather quickly
and together we created sweet textile harmony... and a pair of sleeping shades for a rather sleep deprived friend...
Until the next time- be well, be merry...be something.

The first step on the Yellow brick road...


So...with Stella in my heart and a skip in my step I'm off on a journey- destination? unknown.
It's been a year since ( my last confession...)  I graduated a 4 year 'experience' at an Art& Design Academy in J-town... no one prepared me for what would be short to follow- and shame on them for letting me find out just how harsh 'the real' world really is =]
Dam... I had no idea it would be so difficult to return to the 'out side' world and not as a design student... true- it sounds as though I'm complaining... I'm not really- I just wish I would have prepared myself mentally for what was short to follow.
But a year has past and I'm still around to tell the tail... a tail of rude awakenings and such.
So I have decided to breath life into a blog that will grant my ramblings a proper stage (rather than just in my head). A place to show my work, to vent my anger and belittle my anxieties.
A place to share thoughts with others, to give and hear opinions- a virtual diary to record the remains of my day on a journey that started long ago but continues today...
So friends, strangers and potential lovers (wishful thinking?) join me and Stella as we take the road unknown...
