Just the idea is so daunting to me, but it's too late now, it's already beginning. We get to create our own lines in the final semester and then for our final project, instead of exams, our garments are walked down a runway. Each of us are expected to create 3 full outfits complete with branding packages, technical specification packs, and all the other fun stuff that goes along.<br />

It forces you to create something, and that's really what I need. It pushes you out there and gives you a deadline, gives you structure, pulls you thin and then just when you feel like you've been stretched too far, you're done, you've created something wonderful. Sometimes you don't even know where it came from, or what made you think of it.<br />
<br />
I'm feeling grateful for the great creators, the ones that have mastered it all. They treat the art of fashion as a hybrid mix of meticulous sculpture, scrupulous fabric choices, and such technical perfection one could cry.<br />
Enjoy this video of brilliant masterminds creating one of the most iconic pieces of our century.<br />

Now that I'm done that dress, I can go back to being a slave to school. We're doing jackets right now. I never knew how many types of pockets and collars there were.

Today was a boring and stressful day, first doing millions of stitch tests on the slippery silk satin and then trying to find a trick to stop the thin slick liner silk from getting sucked in the bobbin hole of my machine. I eventually remembered a trick I read on the good ol' internets a few months ago that said to put a piece of tissue paper under the elusive fabric while stitching and just rip it off afterwards. Thank you internets!</span><br />

Only one week left and I feel like I still have so much to do! On the dress, and to prepare for the three weeks I'm about to spend in South East Asia. So much excitement!<br />

Hope you're having a wonderful day!<br />

Like 5 songs in one, it takes you on a journey of loving and learning, figuring out who you are and where you're going. I've listened to it easily 100 times and I still enjoy every second. Sufjan is a musical saint, creating masterpieces comprised of gritty guitar solos layered over classical instruments and synthesized blips and bloops. He is a gifted wordsmith, each of his songs lyrical poems speaking of all things from spiritual encounters to serial murderers and every detail in between. I hope you can enjoy this beauty. It's totally worth the time. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With a broken heart that you stabbed for an hour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Woman, I was freaking out because I want you to know</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Maid of honourly duties called, and a bridal shower was planned. It was definite crunch time due to lack of time from my construction job (which I am all finished now!!) by day and wedding dress creation by night. But I pulled myself together and mustered all the inspiration I could get from around the interwebs and in the end, I feel like it was a success (thank goodness)..</span></div>

I posted this, and then erased it by accident.. and was so frustrated that I did nothing about it.<br />
So here it is again.<br />
<br />
I feel compelled to share this beautiful and fresh duo with you. Siblings is a quirky acoustic-folk duo specializing in harmonies... for now. A brother and sister project, you can feel the connection through their beautiful sound, their voices bouncing off of each other perfectly, leaving us with a sweet taste in our mouths yearning for more.<br />
<br />
As a new artist, it is exciting to see where they will go with their refreshing poetic lyrics and tasteful harmonies.<br />

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">Okay, maybe not of the </span><i style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">century, </i><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">but this dress is turning out rather beautifully. The toile, or muslin version of the dress is about finished and I am getting soo stoked to delve into the silk satin and chiffon *swwooooon*. There have been many adventures already, (like boning, which is easier than you think!) and I am so incredibly grateful to have been given this opportunity!</span></div>

I've began working construction by day (yes I am the only girl and yes it is hard, but somehow satisfying) and creating a wedding dress by night (which is almost harder, although I've recently acquired the skills to draft on the computer.. which is absolutely amazing). I'm also working on invitations for the wedding. It just keeps happening.<br />
I'll try to make a better effort to post.<br />
<br />
On a side note, I'm getting really excited to go to Thailand and Europe this summer.... seriously, I try not to think about it because it's so hard to keep my excitement contained.<br />
<br />
But alas, I have to go to sleep now... construction workers wake up at 5:30 and it's absolutely crazy.<br />

I'm ever so excited for her to embark on such a beautiful journey, and I will be there along side to help wherever I am needed. I am so incredibly grateful to have a friend like her, and even more grateful that she could find such an amazing partner for life! Congratulations Cady and DJ! I love you both so much and this is going to be somuchfun!!!<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">I've come to know that memories</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Were the best things you ever had</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">The summer shone beat down on bony backs</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">So far from home where the ocean stood </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Down dust and pine cone tracks</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">We slept like dogs down by the fire side</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Awoke to the fog where all around us </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">The bloom of summertime</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">We stood</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Steady as the stars in the woods</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">So happy-hearted</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">And the warmth rang true inside these bones</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">As the old pine fell we sang</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Just to bless the morning.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">I've come to know the friends around you</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Are all you'll always have</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Smoke in my lungs, or the echoed stone </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">Careless and young, free as the birds that fly</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">With weightless souls now.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; font-family: LucidaGrande; font-size: 12px; text-align: center;">We stood</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #202020; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Why?</span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #202020; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">It's the lyrical imagery that gets me with this one, making it so perfect for warm summer days and cool summer nights ("hot sand in toes, cold sand in sleeping bags") I can't wait to listen to this song playing along side a cool and calm summer night roasting marshmallows in the middle of the woods with a few good friends. This one is definitely a keeper. He also does a cover of Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen.. which is interesting and worth checking out.</span></div>

Thank you so much babe, for four years of complete and utter blissfulness. Four years ago you swept me off my feet and haven't touched back down since. Thank you for silently putting up with my ridiculous rants and speaking the honest truth when I need to hear it. But most of all, thank you for loving me unconditionally. You have been an amazing inspiration in my life and I look forward to where our lives will take us. You're the best babe! <3 <3 <3</div>

It was both breathtaking and fantastic, but I'll have to wait for it to be released to share it with you. They are also currently hosting a video competition on their website, the valtari mystery film experiment where 12 filmmakers were given the same budget and the task of creating a video for what came to mind whilst listening to the album. It's really interesting and inspiring and I definitely recommend checking it out! <a href="http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/">http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/</a><br />
<br />
On to this week.... I really do create a summer soundtrack you know, I even put it on disk. My best friend and I have a tradition of creating summer CDs for each other and so it stays on my mind for the rest of the year. As you know from my <a href="http://bittysbitz.blogspot.ca/2012/05/roadtrippin.html" target="_blank">last post</a>, I spent the past weekend sleeping in a tent. We were in the middle of nowhere, deep in the forest of Canada and so you can imagine how beautiful the stars were. As we stared up into the beautiful night sky, I couldn't help but think of this amazing beauty and how perfect it will be on the summer disk! (even if it is over a year old now.. :p)<br />

Why in the night sky are the lights hung?<br />
Why is the earth moving 'round the sun?<br />
Floating in the vacuum with no purpose, not a one<br />
Why in the night sky are the lights hung?<br />
<br />
Why is life made only for to end?<br />
Why do I do all this waiting then?<br />
Why this frightened part of me that's fated to pretend?<br />
Why is life made only for to end?<br />
<br />
In the city only for a while<br />
Here to face the fortune in the bile<br />
I heard you on the radio, I couldn't help but smile<br />
In the city only for a while<br />
<br />
Why in the night sky are the lights hung?<br />
Why is the earth moving 'round the sun?<br />
Floating in the vacuum with no purpose, not one<br />
Why in the night sky are the lights hung?</div>

Thank you Palio for all the good times. I remember the first day we got you, I was seven and you were so tiny, the runt of the litter. We originally got you to sell, but fell in love at first sight. You were there for me when the Spice Girls broke up, I remember crying into your fur while you jumped around trying to lick my arms off. Then we moved into town and you came with, your back yard dominion shrinking from 6 acres to 1, but you never complained.. you still loved life and all that came with it. One time you tried to jump on a female dog down the road, you accidentally scratched her and caused mom to pay an $800 medical fee and we had to give you away for a while. It was one of the saddest moments ever, watching you drive away in the back of our friends truck back to the country. But you weren't gone forever, you came back and we were better friends than ever. I took you for a walk one time in platform shoes and you saw a little dog up the road that you wanted to say hi to, so you ran up the road, dragging me along behind. I never knew you were so strong haha.<br />Then I entered high school and things got crazy. We moved again, this time with an even smaller back yard, but you didn't care, and took to sleeping in my bed every night. Those were some of the best days of my life.. even if my bed did have fleas in it sometimes :|. I went to Hawaii for a week on vacation and when I returned you were the happiest I've ever seen you, you wouldn't leave me alone for weeks! You were always following us around, wanting us to pet you, and wanting to lick every square inch of our arms. When things were tough with boys and friends, I always had you Pal, you never judged me or dissed me. Thanks for everything buddy, I don't think I could have done it without you.<br />

<span style="text-align: left;">As I've mentioned before, I'm </span><a href="http://www.baanburkfaa.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: left;" target="_blank">going to Thailand</a><span style="text-align: left;"> this summer to visit and help out some of my favorite kids. What I haven't mentioned is that afterwords we are heading over to Malaga, Spain to go to one of my best friends weddings! I thought I couldn't be more excited, until I started booking the flight from Bangkok to Malaga. As it is such a long distance, almost all the flights have layovers and some for long enough to jump out and take a looky-look! Certain layover cities have been catching my eye, namely Moscow and Helsinki. I'm now researching both to find out which is cooler. Finland has good posters, but Russia has matryoshka dolls!</span></div>

On another note, have you seen Paloma Picasso's <a href="http://www.tiffany.ca/Shopping/Category.aspx?cid=288189&mcat=148206&omcid=CAG21663&iq_id=14526619&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=02%2BDesigner%2B-%2BPaloma%2B-%2BExact&utm_term=14526619-paloma%2Bpicasso" target="_blank">collection</a> for Tiffany's? She's the youngest daughter to the famous Pablo Picasso, who I also just learned was born in Malaga. I hear they have two Picasso originals in the art gallery a city over from me, I must check that out. Weird how you can learn something new and then it constantly pops up in your life, I guess you just notice it more. </div>

We have been working on a garden. And not just any garden... a vegetable garden. All the seeds are 100% organic and we aren't using any types of pesticides or insecticides. </div>

We started some of the seeds inside and made seedlings before planting them outside (as seen here with the snap peas and lettuce in the little cardboard planters to be transplanted). We are learning a lot and it is both a very humbling and a very exciting experience. </div>

Did I mention I had E helping me out? I love this girl. She has recently adopted a likeness to assuming this position when posing for a camera. I brought her to class at the end of the semester to model my children's clothes for my final presentation, and she was just eating up the attention with this pose.<br /></div>

She's just so darn cute. And one of the best little artists ever. I applied some of her custom art onto the pocket of the a-line dress I made.. now it's hanging in the display window at my university. That means she has her art displayed in a university! At four! Go E!</div>

We still have a few things to transplant, including the hilly vegetables like pumpkin and squash... but it's exciting to actually start seeing things in the ground! I'll be sure to keep you posted.</div>

It was exciting to raise money, and a little nerve wracking to sell something that I made, but it all worked out.. and in the end we raised almost $5,000 dollars towards our trip to Thailand this summer. :D.<br />

Hope it's beautiful where you are, enjoy it... go outside and garden or go for walk. Spend time with nature.. it's almost impossible to have a bad day when you spend it outside.<br />
