summer lovin'


it's the first day of summer, hurrah! is anyone celebrating the summer solstice this weekend? i hear those parties can get quite intense (picture bonfires, naked bodies flailing around everywhere, an abundance of recreational "activities"). sounds like my kind of party (kidding!).

it's supposed to be a super steamy summer, so i'm hoping to fly the coup and get out of the city for a couple weekends and head up north when you can actually swim in the water. does anyone have anything fun planned for the summer? i've made a small list of goals i would like to accomplish before the leaves begin to fall, including actually sewing something with the sewing machine i bought, complete at least one painting a month, finish the demos for our new album (we're professionally recording the first one, cadaver bells and gypsy spells, tonight at oak recording studio) and I'm sure there are other things, but I just can't think of them right now. what are your goals for the summer, do you even make goals or am i slightly ocd...

don't think about making art, just get it done. (goal one - get a sewing machine)

lately i've felt like i have too many ideas floating around in my head, yet nothing ever gets done. everything was at a stand still. last night, taking the advice of an extremely wise beyond his years boyfriend of mine, i jotted down twenty goals i would like to complete within a one year period. having those aspirations and desires written down in front of me made them feel real and more achievable. we then went through the list and determined which ones i could cross off quickly... and i am happy to say that i've just checked my first one off the list. when i moved away from home i had no choice but to leave my sewing machine behind (as it is my moms and i don't think she would have been fond of me nicking it) and i've been nagging myself ever since to pick up my own. i used to love repurposing pieces from vintage clothing and creating new bags from discarded fabrics. so let's see what disasters i am bound to create, i'll be sure to post any pictures along the way.

one down, nineteen to go.
