This cover. Amazing how not having Cyndi Lauper’s voice makes it kind of heart-wrenchingly sad. In a totally awesome way of course.
this dress pattern. I’ve wanted something 50s-ish for AGES and I found patterns and now sewing machine is dead and I am sad. And aware that even if I made it it would probably be a disaster (my sewing was tremendous fun but also mild panic as I tried to keep up with my mini-machine, not get my finger sewn through and avoid its enthusiastic bouncing sending it into my lap).
Painted shoes! My Docs are still too shiny and look like school shoes so I am really keen to sand them down and paint them. There are also a bunch of awesome techniques for buying ugly heels and painting them with awesome patterns. I wish I was artistic AND brave. Anyone keen to spend a weekend making a mess?
Sleep. I’m not getting much these days. I seem to alternate between 6 hours of solid sleep one night and about 2 hours of broken sleep the next. I made coffee this morning and forgot to boil the kettle. It’s starting to get to me.
And of course, late night productivity spurts. Last night was insane! I think I did a week’s work in 4 hours.

Oh that dress is simply adorable. Instant love for it.
Love the dress. And am now keen to go and draw on a pair of shoes...
Love it all. And am now wondering if I'm not too old to own a pair of Docs again? (last pair purchased in 1991 and lasted until 1996!)
coffee with cold water! Still keeps you awake!
