So, I had just finished watching Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance music video (for the I-don’t-know-how-many-eth time) and I was thinking about how hard I could rock it in those 15″ heels she wears in the video. I closed my laptop and stood up. And then I fell down. OW! My leg was asleep and before I realized what was happening, I rolled over in my measly 3″ heels. I was in denial for a day or so but eventually I went to the doctor - BROKEN FOOT!
Here’s what a broken foot looks like in a sewing room:
I went thrift shopping to dull the pain - got this awesome vintage Idea Book of Trims….
It made me realize that I heart freaky Kubrick-style ballerinas:

I also learned what happens when you give a girl a Buttoneer.
The Idea Book of Trims made me realize that my trims are a freakin’ mess. I have them in a bunch of disparate bags stashed all over my sewing room. So, in the interests of organization (and further dulling the pain of my broken foot), I hobbled to the dollar store and bought storage bins. Voila:
Coming up next: a tutorial for my scrap earrings! Here’s a sneak peek:
