Speaking Hypothetically

Last week I was over at Tea and Honey Bread and came across a neat lil meme. It appeals to me cause it just does and also because it reminds me of this song that I really like. Some of these took me the longest to answer. (And yes I did print it and fill it out while in bed last night. )

So...

1. If I were a direction I’d be…south
2. If I were furniture I’d be…a lamp
3. If I were a liquid I’d be…watermelon juice that runs down your face when you're sittin' on the porch indulging in the watery goodness during the summertime
4. If I were a sin I’d be…broken
5. If I were a gem/stone I’d be…hanging from a pendulum
6. If I were a metal I’d be...bendable
7. If I were a tree I’d be…deeply rooted
8. If I were a fruit I’d be…a ripe plum
(not a thick, rough outer surface, yet contained and reserved. But when you get to the inside, ooh ooh ooh!)
9. If I were a flower I’d be…scattered about
10. If I were weather I’d be…peaceful rain
11. If I were a musical instrument I’d be…a piano
12. If I were an element I’d be…oxygen
13. If I were a color I’d be…just a touch here and there
14. If I were an animal I’d be…a giraffe
15. If I were a sound I’d be…far off
16. If I were a lyric I’d be… "My dress ain't cost nothin' but seven dollars, but I made it fly."--Erykah Badu
17. If I were a song I’d be…on repeat
18. If I were a music type I’d be…roots reggae
19. If I were a perfume/cologne I’d be…all natural
20. If I were a feeling I’d be…passion
21. If I were food I’d be…high in fiber
22. If I were a city I’d be…spacious and full of trees
23. If I were a taste I’d be…sweet and salty
24. If I were a scent I’d be…lingering in the air long after I'd left the room
25. If I were a word I’d be… constantly mispelled
26. If I were a verb I’d be…laugh
27. If I were an object I’d be…a seam ripper
28. If I were a piece of clothing I’d be…a a well fitting hoodie sweater with pockets
(allowing for obscurity)
29. If I were a body part I’d be… an arm
30. If I were an facial expression I’d be…eyes closed smile on face
31. If I were a cartoon character I’d be…on PBS
32. If I were a movie I’d be…one that makes you think
33. If I were a geometric figure I’d be…a cone
34. If I were one of the 4 seasons I’d be…fall
35. If I were a sentence I’d be…ungrammatical


What's more, I stayed up late last night and finished a dress I'd been working on just so I could show it to y'all today:



(Excuse the crazy facial expression)






More of my funktified patch work and top stitching



I really love layered, full dresses/skirts like this. Very womanish. This one's navy blue, in case you can't tell.

Today I think I'm gonna go thrift store hopping in search of fabric or scraps. I've got a hunch that some are out there waiting for my arrival.

peace.

Love the dress - I'm always amazed at people who sew since I'm so totally spastic with anything but a hem! And I love the meme - I might have to try that one!

Cute dress and belt...they look really good together.
Don't you love when you get that feeling? I usually get these STRONG urges to go a specific thrift store on a certain day, at a certain time. I ususally try and fight against it but it keeps coming so I go and find the MOST AWESOME stuff.

Hope your your thrifitng adventure is a success!!!

Really great meme....very thoughtful



Cute dress, but in the words of my grandmother, "If I wore that, I'd look like a featherbed with a belt tied around the middle."

*sighs dramatically, and curses lack of waist*

Unknown said...
