…of my Curly Universe!
It’s been a little over a week since my last post, eek!
My curls and I have been swamped with many (wonderful) things, hence the absence. But, those post-less days made me nervous and edgy. Is there are term for that in the blogosphere? Post withdrawal? No-post malaise? Post-less anxiety? Teehee.
Since my last post:
1) I became a kid again by sliding down a bouncer with my niece at her fabulous birthday party. (More on the cupcakes I baked and all the fun at this Scooby Doo-themed celeb later!)
2) A new post at work made me rediscover the old-school charm of red China Markers.
3) I’ve gotten new crafty books and am jumping out of my skin to bake and sew from these wonderfully written resources:
4) I undertook the gargantuan task of reorganizing my closet. Took two days, lots of hard decisions about parting with certain things and lots of plastic bins and labels. I can now make full use of my shoes after storing each pair in containers like this.
And patiently labeling each one with the type and color of each pair (i.e. Heels: Blk Strappy; Sneaks: Nvy Stripe and so on) with a labeler like this from Dymo.
A bit much? Teehee, I DO have my curly quirks! (But seriously, I owe my closet’s full functionality to that labeler. Thanks to Ana for lending it to me!)
5) Despite the strange weather, Summer is announcing itself through nature’s colorful telegram: jacarandas in full bloom along our street. I never really liked purple, but these are practically pretty. I want to borrow the colors for a sweet-little-something-sewn.
6) On an un-crafty note, and because Sex And The City opening weekend is just a few days away, I saw Charlotte’s Mr. Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler) in Father’s Office in Culver City last Friday! I wanted to say something, but was too shy. 
That’s been my week. Looking forward to more posts, blog-hopping, hopefully joining contests, answering memes and everything else possible, just to prevent another bout of post-less anxiety!
Hello again to all, and welcome back to me.

I can’t believe you have room to store your shoes in individual bins. Allen would kill me if i did that because it’d probably take up half the living room! I need a bigger closet. If only i could take over the loud humper’s apt and turn it into a walk-in closet for myself.

- I encourage you to maintain civility above all else and NOT use your loud neighbor’s living quarters as a shoe closet. Haha.
Odette
- Hallo there. Yes, I am a closet OC, in more ways than one. I LOVE my newly organized shoes. Do it!
