crunch time...

i'm back!  or perhaps more accurately, my internet's back after being out for about a week, which you would think would be good for my productivity, but it wasn't.  in fact, i got almost nothing done this break.  i don't know how i'm going to get all my projects done in time, other than not sleeping for the next 3 weeks.  here's my to-do list:

things i have to make:

1. evening garment

2. suit jacket

3. 2 blouses and 2 skirts

things i have to design (illustrate):

1. 5-piece celebrity day-to-evening dress collection (my chosen celebrity is, of course, natalie portman)

2. a small collection for my computerized design class, which i haven't gotten the details of the assignment yet

thus, updates to this blog may become short and sparse over the next few weeks.  i'll leave you with these 2 great videos before i head to the studio...

a rather sexy arrangement of stand by me:
