Incubus Concert

Here are the picture's from the concert. They are not the best since I was sitting all the way in the back. While I was able to see the concert just fine, my camera was not able to capture everything that well.

If you have not seen Incubus in concert, I highly suggest that you do.




Because the guy is not hot enough, he had to go and take off his shirt.


I tried to upload video but blogger was not cooperating.

Enjoy!

Things to do

It was a great weekend. Too short but great none the less. Yesterday's Incubus concert was fantastic. I will have picture's and a little bit of video up tonight or tomorrow.

I have gotten back into sewing and made my first project on Saturday. On Sunday morning after breakfast Mr. P took me over to G Street Fabrics and I picked up a few things. I love to go to that place but they are a bit expensive. I think I will limit my shopping there to just the sale bin and the cheap patterns.

I still need a few notions but that can wait till next weekend, for now I have enough to keep my busy. In no particular order, here is my list of things/projects to do:

- Apron. I have cut out the fabric all I have to do is sew it together.
- Summer Dress. This will be my last summer dress for the season.
- RennFest Dress. I wont be going till October but I want to get started on it now.
- Winter Coat. I found a pattern for an awesome 1920's looking coat. I cannot wait to get started on that.
- Grocery Bags. This will be an on going project.

That is it on my list of sewing projects. I also have a list of jewelry projects but I am trying to wait patiently for my bead order to come in. More on that later.

The new season of Project Runway begins in 10 days: 12 Hours: 36 mins. It will be showing on Lifetime @ 10 PM on August 20th. I still think the funniest season was when Santino was on the show. Lets see what this season has to offer.

Do you watch Project Runway? If you do, which is your favorite season to date?

I love the weekends

I took advantage of some of the sales and free tax DC is having this weekend.

Top from Forever21 (this is part of an outfit I am putting together for a super secret mission), Red headband from Forever21, Gold and black glasses case from Aldo, blue bag and scarf from NY & Company, and I finally got myself the Bamboo tablet that I have been wanting for a while.

I really want to be more Eco friendly and stop using plastic/paper bags from the stores, so I am going to start making shopping bags. This was my first one. I made it out of green and white upholstery fabric and the bottom out of white denim. I forgot how much fun it is to sew. I have plans to make grocery bags but I need to go out and buy more fabric.


A couple of weeks ago Steve Madden was having a sale and I bought the shoes above for $20! I love them. They are so comfy.


When we went to the Eastern Market I bought the cuff below from a local artist. She had them in different colors but ended up picking this one up. More my style.


Isn't it great?


I will end this with my first outfit of the day picture. This is what I wore for my Friday festivities.
Top: Do not remember where I got it.
Pants: Old Navy
Shoes: Rockport Shoes
Sunglasses: From vintage store in NYC
Earrings: Bought at a Native American Flea Market in New Mexico
Bracelet: New York and Company

Today I will be at Merriweather Post Pavillion for the Incubus concert. I am super excited, I have seen them in concert once before and they were awesome.

How is every ones weekend going??

Hump Day Video: No Doubt and Paramore

So at the beginning of July I went to the No Doubt concert and I have got to say that concert was FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC. Seriously, if they are coming to your town you have to GO, GO, GO! It was so much fun.

In honor of a great concert here is a recording from the Vancouver show of them performing "Hella Good" in concert. Of course it does not sound all that great but considering it was most likely recorded with someone's phone it is not so bad.



Also, in that concert Paramore was the opening group. While I like their CD's I do not think they are the best live. At least they were entertaining. Here is their Crush, Crush, Crush video:



I will definitely see No Doubt in concert again. Now as for Paramore, if they happen to open for a band I want to see in concert then great, now will I pay to see them as the main act? Nah, I do not think so.

Next concert: Incubus

Ciao!! xoxo

I am back, I think, Sort of

I had planned to blog last night. I have a few things to post but I got side tracked with the new order of beading supplies I got last night and instead of following my list of things to do I sat in front of the TV and started crafting.

How was every one's weekend?

I am currently on the search for a T-shirt. It is a Cobra Commander t-shirt I bought from Urban Outfitters a little over a year ago and it has mysteriously disappeared. I really loved said t-shirt and I especially would have loved to have it now to wear to the G.I Joe movie that will be out in August. So I set out to try and find another one online and I have not had much success. I have found similar t-shirts but it is not the same.

On other movie related chatter. I cannot wait till October rolls around so that I can enjoy Where the Wild Things Are. I have only seen bits and pieces of the trailers that have been floating around the Internet and I am already in love with the movie.

By the way, I have added one more concert to my list of concerts that I will be going to this summer. I will be going to see Incubus at Merriweather Post Pavilion in August. They are one of my favorite groups and after a few years of laying low they are going back on tour. I have already seen them in concert but when I went Mr. P could not go for a reason that escapes me now. But this time around he will be able to enjoy Incubus.

Are you guys on Twitter? I have been on it for a while but I never really got into it. Now I am like a crack head. I cannot for the life of me go an hour with out clicking the refresh button to see what people are doing. LOL. If you guys are on twitter and want to be my twitter buddy add me here or you can click on the little bird on the side bar. Add me and I will add you. I am nosey and like to see what everyone is doing. :-)

Oh, I also got my car back. WOOO HOOO!! I missed it so much. The problem with the car was not as bad as we thought but it still put a dent on the wallet. At least we did not have to buy a new car, which would have put even a bigger dent on the almost empty wallet.

Anyway, I will stop rambling now and get back to work. Hope everyone is having a great week.

Ciao! xoxo
