Update: I have changed the theme and look! Hope you like it!
Well, what a year 2015 was. A lot of things happened. We moved over here, for one thing – from Blogger. I don't regret the move, although the change was almost more than I could handle. So many capabilities, so many limitations. But I'm another year older and now, I have a better sense of what has happened, what will happen, and who I am. It's time for another redesign! I don't know yet what it will look like or when I'll get around to it, but it certainly must happen. Time to make this place a little more homey.

I'm going to show you, day by day, how I turn this dress into a wedding dress! I'm getting married on May 30th of this very year (2016! Happy New Year!) and here are the stakes:
So – DAY ONE. Pattern: Simplicity 1195 Fabrics: Over 3 yds of Satin, same of chiffon, some fine white thread from Dual Duty, and Schmetz embroidery needles 75/11 for my machine from Jo-Ann's. My height: 5'1" - 5'2" My weight: approx. 100 lbs Pattern size: I'm using size 4 Machine: Kenmore 385.12102990 My skill level: Intermediate I still have depression and anxiety. It's why I can't stay awake past 10 to study, but I can stay up until 1 in the morning drawing, cutting, and stringing tiny paper ornaments for the tiny Christmas tree I bought for my flat earlier that day. It's why I can think of a bunch of things I really want to do but I only lie there in bed with my shower towel still wrapped around my head because I don't want to move.
Last Friday night, I felt the need to make cookies. And I had peanut butter and Hersey kisses…. So it was time for Peanut Butter Blossoms! And this recipe is so good. I highly recommend it. You can find the source here. I made just a couple minor changes.
When I look back, a lot happened in my life two years ago. It was a rough time, but two years ago today was the day that life turned around and took a fresh, new direction. I make it a point to not post much on Facebook anymore (so I'm posting here), and I try to keep myself from getting personal or mushy, but the time that I've been here at Franciscan has been . . . . Every time I think back over the past few years, it just blows me away – I can't wrap my head around all the amazing adventures I've had. I made a variety of friends, and I cherish every person, especially those I don't have to put up with anymore ;P Now, I'm a chronic loner, but two years ago today, I gave my anxiety a sedative and offered somebody a permanent spot in my life. He promised always to be there. Three months ago to the day, he asked me to marry him. May 30th, we'll fulfill that promise. And we'll go on fulfilling it until death do us part. I did not grow up in a world where Jews were rounded up and gassed in chambers simply for being Jewish. I did not grow up in a world where European white people kidnapped Africans from their homes to work as slaves in civilized Christian society. I was not alive when black skin counted as "three fifths of all other persons." But I am living in a country fraught with racism. I'm living in a world, in fact, where everyone fears their neighbor, locks their doors, hides behind avatars.
