Summer projects// Item 1: d.i.y.

Last exam last Friday! I've had the best summer yet thus far & it's only like day 4. During classes, I've been dreaming up a prolific list of "activities" that I've always wanted to do. Definitely not a bucket list, it's just a bunch of creative endeavors that I've been meaning to start for a while. This summer there will be *NO SLACKING OFF. It will definitely be an exercise of self-control but I honest to god want to get productive. In the spirit of Murray Hewitt, I will compose my list in the attempt to remind myself of should-be obvious things like DO FUN STUFF.

* Excludes movies: I plan to watch as many culturally-enriching films as possible: my intentions are entirely scholarly.

Discovering Ashish from the Atlas of Fashion Designers, I perused his collections on Elle.com to find the amazing spring '10 collection. I love this because it's not just inspiring in a "oh pretty, I'll wait 'till that trend comes to Zara" way, it's actually super original. This collection totally inspires me to get out my scissors, sewing machine and stud gun (I wish...)! I'm planning on tackling the weird cut up tassle thingy with beads (see right) first, seeing as there is no sewing required, but that'll just be my gateway drug to d.i.y.

Anyone know any good d.i.y. blogs?
