busy.

dear fleur.

we are planning a benefit concert for an orphanage this weekend. i think i went crazy 4 hours ago. i feel like i have so much to do. and ria has been playing our ears off with that kazoo of her's. thanks a lot nat. (wink).

it is kirsten's birthday in 8 days. and i know just what i'm going to get her. it is so cuteeeeee. sort of. in a non-cute but kind of really way. it's the idea that is cute.

i start teaching this coming week. we were on break. now it's back to lesson plans and all that jazz. monday and wednesday nights are filled people.
and we took a babysitting job on tuesdays. so i really won't be going anywhere after dinner. i'll be chasing children and teaching proper sidekicks.

necklaces are stalled lately. but i am pondering shop names. something like, "bellananci" or "nancibell". i don't know. they look kind of weird put together. but i like the way they sound.
sometimes i think way too hard.

mandy is using flora in the kitchen right now. she has this lovely brocade that i want to make into a pencil skirt. i am so tempted to snag a yard or two. but it is her's. oh my. the woes of sisterhood and fabric. maybe she'll share?

banana bread at the table. loveeeee itttttt.

love bell.

Note.

Dear Fleur.
Today the sunset sky was a phenomenal pink. Fuschia. Magenta. Bright. Amazing. Breathtaking. My heart got so happy.

Note to all boys:
No matter who they are, inside of every girl, they love pink.
EVEN IF THEY SAY THEY DON'T.


Today I wanted a little chair covered with a flower print. That I could drag into my front yard and sit in and watch the cars drive by. I like that thought. That idea. A young girl sitting in a chair front of a white house, wearing a dear little red dress, and holding a notebook. Would you think I'm crazy?

Note to my street:
I'm sorry if I ever do this. But first I need a chair...

Today I broke out my sewing machine in the morning. And some $0.99 gold ribbon. And red felt hearts. And I made hairbands. Cute hairbands. They make me feel ladylike. And I kind of love them. It's always good to love what you make.

Note to mon petit chou:
I named my sewing machine this morning. "Flora." Do you like it?


Today was good.

Love from Bella.
