My sister bought me a sewing machine for my birthday and I’ve been sewing up a storm! Here’s a shot of a flower on fabric I purchased on ReprotDepot Fabrics. I’m making a handbag following a tutorial for a silk pleated and darted purse. The fabric I used for the outside is 100% cotton and the lining might be polyester, I think. I really love the pattern on the fabric, it has big red clouds and different colored flowers. It’s dreamy.

The flower is gorgeous,

I had a dream that I was having lunch in a high rise building with a great view of the city. Sitting at a long table with me was Alec Baldwin, Chandler from Friends, my sister and one of my cousins. Alec was teaching Chandler how to dance then he was going to ask me to dance. But suddenly people started running out of the room. I looked out the windows and was shocked to see the buildings in the city were smoking! There were these great large black plumes of smoke coming from every other building and I could see Lake Michigan in the distance with the sun close to setting. I remember thinking the sunset looked beautiful. That’s all I remember from my dream.

Current Mood: Silly

Ok, this is a wierd one. I was trying to discover why Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 was crashing and I couldn’t figure it out. After some googling, I found the Dreamweaver CS3 Read Me (pdf) file which states on page four:

Known Issue: Crash in Windows when CSS file size is exactly 8192 bytes, 16383 bytes, or specific larger sizes Dreamweaver crashes in Windows if you make an edit to a CSS file that changes the size of the file to exactly 8191 bytes or an increment of 8191 bytes. In addition, Dreamweaver won’t restart unless you change the size of the CSS file. To change the file size, open the CSS file in another text editor and insert a character or two, including whitespace characters such as spaces and tabs.

Adobe

Now, isn’t that the oddest thing you’ve ever heard? This is exactly what happened to me and I had to open my stylesheet in WordPad and add some comment lines to bring up the file size. Too weird.

Because my favorite tv show Lost is on hiatus, I’ve been feeling that something is missing. But then I found these parodies on YouTube and I laughed so hard that I cried!

I’m working on a new blog design now that my portfolio is done. Oh, you haven’t seen my new portfolio? It’s here on my main website, zoblue.com. Anyways, before I start doing it up, I have to add tags to all my blog entries. It’s going to take for-e-verrr but it’s worth it because I can use the Tag Cloud feature of WordPress.

I think I’ll also add my de.licio.us links somewhere on here like I did on my portfolio’s footer. Oh, and the title of this blog post will be the ‘theme’ of my blog’s look.
