grazing in the grass

 (some interior design reading in the late afternoon.)

   Today was the most beautiful day. Those days were you can just go get lost in the rural suburbs with some friends, find an amazing place for eating some snacks picked up earlier, and having to worry about being "too warm" instead of bringing many sweaters. The only downfall was having my camera battery die on the walk past the pond...I suppose I don't need to document everything sometimes. 

  I have also been on the current search for a new swimsuit. After only finding ones I truly loved that were way out of my price range, I decided to cut up two one-piece swimsuits to make the perfect one. They are under construction right now, but I was wondering if anyone had done this themselves? Any tips for sewing up swimsuits (or possibly just making your own?)
