oh how I have missed you so!

I am finally back, how I hope you all haven't given up on me...we are finally settled in and I have a moment to breathe and post!
I missed you. I have been working on some fun projects...I just did styling for a photo shoot of the Peasall sisters (they were in Oh Brother Where art Thou) and that was a fun job, I've been sewing tons and I have applied to school finally! It is a small design school here called O'More, I hope to do a couple semesters and transfer... I took a tour of O'more and it was strage b/c all of the other students on the tour with me were right out of high school (or still in high school) I felt old, and I'm not! I think I am also the only person on the tour that actually know how to sew...that should be interesting.
Well, I should know within a couple weeks if I have been accepted or not.
Oh, Be Your Own Pet news...they are in London this week their single came out March 14th and they were at SXSW last week...check out this month's rolling stone...top 10 artists to watch and there's my baby sister!!!!! Also if anyone still has monday's ny times ahe is on the cover of the arts section. very exciting
I have been working on a fun quilt for Rob for our 4th anniversary in May, I'll post a pic of that.
please forgive me for being gone so long....but I'm back!!!!!
love
