Sewing & Encyclopedia of Me (U-V-W)
I thought about not finishing the rest of the alphabet, but I am so close so I am going to try…
U is for…
…umbrella. (I borrowed this one from Anina.) It seems like not a lot of people use umbrellas, or at least not where I live. I like my umbrella though (and my rain boots), it makes it so you can go out and enjoy the rain a bit.
V is for…
…vegetarian. I mostly became a vegetarian because I disliked meat and didn’t like the thought of eating an animal. I try not to push it on other people, since I know not everyone is going to consider becoming a vegetarian and I really think it is personal preference. Still though, I wish more people who did eat meat would consider only eating meat that does not come from factory farms…
W is for…
…walking. I really enjoy walking, especially walks with Ben. We have been getting a bit sick of our neighborhood, since there are not many places to walk to but it is still nice to be able to take a walk in the evenings together (even if we don’t have anywhere special to walk to). Has anyone else seen that walkscore website for your neighborhood? I don’t have the link, but I did try it and it gave our neighborhood a ridiculously high score that I had to laugh at. It doesn’t seem to be very accurate, oh well:)
Oh look, I did a bit of sewing today finally! I have been wanting to make my own headband pattern for awhile now, so these were my first attempts.
Don’t look too closely, since neither attempt really turned out that great… I even sliced right into the side of the pink one with my scissors by accident after I finished sewing it!
Here is the pink one in my hair though…
Have you ever tried taking a picture of the back of your head without using a tripod? It isn’t easy! :)
I think that there will be more of these in the near future, since I really want to try and get the pattern perfect. Since I already made 2, I might as well keep trying right:)

Only x,y, and z to go!
I really like the long ties on your bands, they’re lovely.
The headbands are great Chara!! I can totally relate to making something again and again until you get it “just right”. They will be wonderful!!
Yea, that walkscore thing was not very accurate for our neighborhood either.
pretty headband! I like the photo of the back of your head too :-)h
Yay! Almost done with the alphabet.
The hair ties make me wish I had long hair.
I think you definitely should keep trying - they look great so far!!
lovely headbands! they look great to me- and so pretty on you.
Seriously cool headbands. I want to make some too!!
Those headbands are cute!
Great headband pattern - they turned out really well!
ooooooooooo! i am lvin those headbands!
I took about 50 pictures of that back of my head once to show a cool hair clip. I deleted them all! Love the head bands. I must have a funny shaped head, because I can never keep them in my hair!
And, did I know you were a vegetarian? Very cool. I spent my whole lunch hour at work today, answering silly questions about my vegetarian (mostly vegan) diet! No one gets it. Oh well, I’m like you. I don’t like to push it on anyone.
