Mission Fail

Yesterday I went to my nearest multinational department store to buy supplies to do some stencils. As I remember from my rebellious youth all I needed was an x-acto knife, spray paint, & a decent piece of cardboard.

But this time I went a little bit artistic and bought myself acrylic paint instead of the paint cans & a sponge because the paintbrushes were quite expensive (I'm on a tight budget). I wanted to wait till next day (today) to start with my new project but I was too anxious to begin. So I made some stencils and I'm not real happy with the results, but I will keep trying.

First attempt: it was supposed to be a lipstick but I don't know, not quite sure what turned out.

Second try: an anchor, well that one was easy but needs a lot more work.

And the last one: a sewing machine. Eh, need to work on the sides…

Since tomorrow is finally my day off I'll be giving it another shot. What about you? Any project that you were eager to do and then it turned into a total mess?

Stay tune for part deux.

Sew what's your playlist?

I love listening to music, like everyone else in the world. I mean who doesn’t? It gets you through difficult, happy, awkward and awesome times, it helps you escape from boredom and when you need to get some work done it makes it quite easier for you. Every time I’m working on a project I have to push that play button on my ipod. Occasionally I put it in shuffle and other times I create a playlist. The most important thing is that the song it’s playing maintains me in a good mood and doesn't make me screw things up.

So here’s a playlist that I compiled to help you finish that project. I’ll be doing this every Friday so make sure to check it out every week. Enjoy!
