Marb$ tries D.I.Y.

It's been a strange transition from busy student life .Getting a 4.0, starting campaigns for Chicana/Latino Studies with $Cruz, holding down a part-time job, attempting to salvage whatever semblance of a social life I had, trying to find time to blog...you get what I mean.  I went from being overworked to the point of exhaustion and vomiting from caffeine overload, to having a mental TV guide in my brain. I've been so bored that I wouldn't wish it upon anyone. But, out of sheer boredom comes the scheming and concoting of ideas. It's when I am most creative and attempt things like crafts and D.I.Y projects. I busted out my sewing machine that I always meant to use and became acquainted with it. Armed with my willingness and cheap fabric, I made this:

It's pretty much a glorified potato sack made with fun fabric and some mistakes. I pleated the neckline to give it some shape and used a yellow belt and a cardigan to try and make it pop. (Sorry $Cruz, I know you hate yellow and red together, my apologies if this is offensive to your eyes). I was going for Little House on the Prairie meets 1960's secretary. I apologize for the pockets, I had my hands in them before I took the picture.
