Grrrrr...

When we got back to school this semester, I went in and filled out all the necessary forms to insure that I have after-hour studio access in the sewing room. But, of course, I went to get in there today and was denied access. Not happy.

I've spent about 12 hours this week, including class time, so I was really counting on today to work in there. I spent some time this morning organizing all the bags I've collected thus far. I mainly did it to find all the Macy and Target bags because those are my favorites right now.

I'm in the process of making this computer case. It's going to be awesome (if I do say so myself). The outer layer is made of Macy's bags (because of the bold red star) and I'm testing out layer a bunch of target bags to make the padding. Unfortunately the Target bags are running low, so I'm going to have to find another solution to padding. I'm playing with some other ideas, but nothing I'm in love with yet.

I watched "Addicted to Plastic: The rise and demise of a modern miracle." It was sooooo interesting! I'm a complete freak, and am building this huge obsession with plastic...Our society is completely reliant on plastic. We are all about disposable design. HOW CAN WE CHANGE???? So frustrating.

I'm feeling good about this project. I'm going to go make myself a calendar to follow now.

peace out.
