sf photos and other news

in order to get motivated to start those sf polaroid transfers, i'm going to post a few digital photos i took of our day. here you will see photos of my favorite bridge and of the talented miss allison getting down and dirty to get the good shots of gigi and the palace of fine arts. it really was great to get out there and take photos. now if we could just coordinate our schedules for the development and printing!





in other news, it's back to the drawing board for my duvet cover. ugh! i really should tackle smaller projects first, but i'm in it too far already... and my mathematical mind on some level does enjoy this challenge. anyway, this time the problem was that i did not allocate enough fabric for each seam allowance. since i'm doing 1/2" allowances, i added 1" on each side in my measurements. well, for fabric i'm cutting into 2 or 3 pieces for the patchwork pattern, i forgot to add another 1 inch for each piece. and since i have just enough fabric for the 86" by 86" duvet cover, i ran out. yesterday i was able to solve it, by changing the sizes and number of pieces i'm cutting, but that means it's back to the tedious photoshop work. it will all be worth it when i'm finished though (i hope). and... i'm SO proud of myself for being patient and planning this all out before i cut. that. would have been a disaster.

and by the way... i don't reeeeally want to talk this, but i thought i should mention it: destiny #9, victoria #10. i might have to start hanging fliers around the area telling people about the super-cool name andrea...
