I've Been Busy

I decided yesterday that I wanted to sew something. So I went through my stash of fabrics and was inspired to make some linens for my table. I have some gorgeous silk dupioni fabrics in jewel tones that really compliment my butter-yellow dinnerware. The only trouble was, my honey colored oak table didn't compliment it at all. So I took up the project of painting my whole dining set white, and then distressing them. I went to the local paint store and bought the off-white color "icelandic poppy" from the Ralph Lauren paint collection. I think I liked the name most of all. I've been thinking about the breed of horse I would want to get, if I really did decide to get one, and I think I'm leaning towards the Icelandics right now because I like their size (small) and the fact that they're gaited, which translates to a really smooth ride. They've been clocked at speeds of 35 mph, about the speed of a moped. I'm very excited to have some change in my apartment. I'll post a picture when it's all done. I've noticed that I've become increasingly sensitive to the art of table setting recently. As my sister is into fashion, I'm into the fashionable table. I recently ate at a local restaurant which I think is on the low-high end, with entrees from $15-$23 dollars. But I was so displeased with the utensils they had us using. They were flat, weightless, shapeless, and plain. I'm somewhat bothered that this bothered me. I wonder if this makes me a snob?
