I <3 You

Sweets. Russ bought me a small velvet lidded heart shaped box of Dove chocolates, and I got him a slice of fancy cheese cake from the Publix bakery.

But some part of me likes this idea for heart themed goodies:

Russ sometimes says "I Heart You" to me. I can't help but think of this as "I Love You--Lite", it's just such a kitschy and pop culture reference. Especially, since he only started using the phrase after we went to the local "I Heart Sushi" restaurant, where he was slightly underwhelmed by being served corn on the cob as a side vegetable to his fish entree. LOL. I know he loves me more than mediocre sushi.

Worth it

I have managed to find a little time today to work on my current doll project, have been working on the design and pattern for her dress.


This is a period gown (by Victorian fashion history crush Charles Frederick Worth) that I am using for inspiration:
