Listening: Highway 101, "The Bed You Made For Me" (1987).
2012 Dodge Dart. No, it's not mine. It was on display in front of IKEA this past Saturday, although I saw one several months ago at the Houston Auto Show, too. I'm not really a sport-coupe kind of girl but I like cars, and who can resist a matching interior?

This would look great in my car, which is also black (and is a Pontiac, so it has red accents):
The last Dodge Dart of my acquaintance looked like this, except that it was red, so things have changed.

Breyer 710493, J.C. Penney's 1993 special run Azteca/foundation stallion. No name yet, but he'll be an Appaloosa gelding. He was listed on eBay as "Breyer two tone spotted" (that was the entire listing heading) so, unsurprisingly, I was the only bidder, even though he's somewhat uncommon and almost twenty years old.
Breyer 701969 United States Equestrian Team 1996 special run "Calypso". This guy is a variant: He's supposed to have a right front sock and a black left front leg instead.

Butterick B5371 (2009): Medieval-ish/RenFaire pouch, waist cincher, and arm bracer pattern. I dated a guy who wore arm bracers. As everyday clothing. It was actually pretty awesome.
I don't have specific plans for this, but I got it super cheaply, and I could totally wear that waist cincher. They mean for you to make it out of fabric or Naugahyde, but I might have to figure out how to do it in leather.

DS Quilts Richmond plaid, navy (I would have said turquoise) and black: This stuff is ridiculously expensive--$12.99 a yard!--but I found a 50% off coupon for Joann online orders, which makes it almost reasonable.
It's kind of a heavy and busy print for me, but I've sort of been in the mood for a 1920's style dress again, and I think this would work. It would probably have blue trim and black faux-glass buttons. Stella Blum's Everyday Fashions of the Twenties arrived in the mail yesterday from Amazon, for inspiration. I've been Pinteresting 1920's dresses, too. This is just a cotton calico so it won't be a fancy dress, but the dark color makes it feel a little less informal than some of my flowery feedsack-style prints.
