A Pinafore Saved...

I've been having good luck with my point and shoot lately. Until now.

It's cool though. What I really want to say is: I made this dress! This pinafore, actually. Pretty heavily inspired by Annika's handmade pinafore, I didn't really follow the tutorial. A circle skirt wouldn't have worked with stripey fabric, so I pleated it instead. I also realized while wearing it around that I forgot to finish the hem! Pff.

 You know how I said I lost this ring I got for Christmas the day after Christmas? Well I put it in my pocket at work, and when I got home I couldn't find it. I was so upset, until Emma found it the next day in the floor. Then while looking for my new lipstick the day after that, I remembered that I had put it in my pocket at work. And I couldn't find it.
I feel like such a dweeb when I have to learn the same lesson twice. Luckily I found the lipstick. (It fell out of the pocket I was sure I'd checked twice later that night.)

Okay, I want to complain about something. I love complaining.

I go look at the blog of every person that leaves a comment on one of my posts. Mostly because I like to see the person behind the comment, but also because I would want someone to check out my blog if I left them a comment. So it doesn't bother me so much when people are all like "check out my blog if you get the chance" at the end of their comment. 

But what does annoy me is when someone says "I like your blog! Want to follow each other?" Dude, if you like my blog, follow it. If I like yours, I'll do the same. Basically what you're saying is "I don't like your blog enough to follow it of my own volition, I need an incentive," and that's not nice. I don't want you to follow me just because I follow you! I want you to follow me if you want to follow me. Would you want me to follow you just because you followed me, and me not really be into your posts and just skip them? Why bother with that?

I'm sure the people who leave these comments don't mean anything bad by it, but that's the way it comes off to me.

 Anyway, school starts for me the 7th, and I've got a shop opening up this week! Exciting stuff!
