I am pretty tired this week, from dealing with all the soccer stuff and trying to finish this damn paper. The paper is under consideration for inclusion as a book chapter. In a book that is going to be published. The first draft of the chapter had approximately 384737437 tables in it. One of the best things I have done to the table is combine some tables so that its only there are only three. The 384737435 tables that I combined into one is pretty awesome. One table to rule them all!! Can I still drop that reference if I didn't watch the LOTR trilogy? Oh, you think I should get a life? Mmmm.
I dont think I get any money for it, though. At least, no one has said anything about money. I guess that is a pretty sweet deal, if you are the editor. I think I am going to do that too one day... invite people to submit their papers to be chapters, so I dont have to do any of the actual work... then not give them any of the moneys. I think it sounds like a briliant plan.
So a friend (who may or may not be reading this) is pregnant. She (Margot) and her husband (Mike) had us over for dinner a few weeks ago. She had mentioned that she was in love with the Amy Butler's Poppies in Fuschia- she got bedding for Margot Jr. in the poppies. I educated her on *Alchemy* on etsy. Then proceeded to get a diaper bag for her made in Amy Butler's fabric. I trust that most of her days right now are spent obsessively folding onesies and napping and dissertating, so I feel comfortable posting a picture of it here:
The thing is? I love the bag. she uses this amazing turbo interfacing that keeps the bag from getting all floppy-tastic. And it is MASSIVE. Like hold my laptop and the 200 pounds of stuff I carry around massive. One bag to rule them all!!
I think you know where this is going. Yeah, you do. I know, I am so predictable. What happened to that bag I had made with the Amy Butler green and blue fabric? I still have it. I just ummm. Nico uses it for his stuff all the time? Oh. But imagine it made with this:
Oh yes. That is Michael Miller's Dogwood Stripe. You think I need to stop judging Nicole for her thing with LV, when I clearly have a problem?
Hey! What's that? (as I point over your shoulder).
Now I am running away.
I never thought I'd live to see the day that one of my kids would be a fabric snobs. I never thought one of my kids would be able to actually name the fabric design.
ReplyDeleteTake some advice from an old fabric ho(arder): if you see it and if you love it, get it. Remember the black on black swan fabric at Queen Anne's Lace in Orlando in 1996? I still regret my decision NOT to buy any -- not at $8 a yard. It fell of the shelf and hit me on the head! That's a sign. I still think about that fabric. Sigh.
i'm forced to point out that if you add up the amount you have spent on bags and diaperbags over the the last 6 years...i bet it's less than what I spent on the LV. And dont point out that LV was free since it was a gift. whatevs.
