Astra Taylor on the Unschooled Life

I found this great lecture via Marvelous Kiddo about what it was like to be raised as an unschooler. I must admit I am totally fascinated by this idea if not convinced. The video is about an hour long and i listened to it while doing some of my Drawing projects for my course on the weekend and found it totally worth a listen, even if it's only for a little bit.

Phoenix/John Hughes mash up

So, saw Phoenix in Brisbane about a week ago it was soooo awesome. Gotta love whoever did this John Hughes Mash-up, the song totally sounds like his movies to me.

What I Wore Today ... In Drawings

Check out this awesome blog What I Wore Today ... In Drawings. It is such a novel idea. I'm also meant to be looking out for hand rendered drawings for the drawing subject of my graphic design course and this seems to fit the bill perfectly.

Sewing Weekender

So this weekend I will be sewing. I've already made two great jersey dresses this year (a black and a grey) but have other really simple projects that I've been thinking about that I just need to do soon before my course that started this week takes over all my sewing time. So this weekend I will make:

black linen pinafore
black zipper skirt to replace one that I had bought and subsequently ripped and that I loved so much that I need another one ASAP
black cotton easy dress

Yep, I wear a lot of black, what can I say. Also, it would be super neat if I could do just one square of my quilt. Just super.
