My first pa'u skirt
A pa'u skirt is a swinging skirt traditionally worn in hula dance. This is the first one I've ever sewn myself. Next time I make one I'm going to write out the instructions because I couldn't find good step by step instructions online. I accidentally sewed the casings shut before I had threaded the elastic through. I made this one with a ruffle on top and two bands of elastic. You can also thread elastic through the top casing instead of having a ruffle. Overall I'm pretty stoked I actually finished a project in one night.

New Year's "will try to do betters"
Since I have no will power and totally failed at my resolution to lose 5 pounds last year, I'm just gonna "try to do better" on a few things.
- Take the exercise back up a notch. Possibly do a half marathon. MAYBE.
- Seek professional counseling and research the best solution for my depression issues.
- Continue to drink less and less alcohol (wine doesn't count)
- Be more social
- Treat my friends better
- Smile more
- Watch less tv
- Dance more and keep busy =)

Pelicans
One morning I went for a jog and there were flocks of pelicans and shore birds fishing in the same spot. I'd never seen that before.
