Two things I did today:
1) Made a donation to the Canadian Red Cross, although I'm still looking for something more hands-on I can do to help. Fellow Canadians: You can donate online and earmark the money for South Asia. (Or other trouble spots. But that's probably the most urgent right now.)
2) Learned how to use the sewing machine. (I haven't used once since seventh grade Home Ec. It's harder than I remembered.) But I managed to thread it and stitch with it; I don't have decent fabric-cutting scissors, though, or decent fabric for that matter. Hence, experimentation with scrap material.

And no,
rohmie, I'm not pregnant. It's DIY, or something. That, and the desire to make clothes that are more bizarre than I could possibly afford unless I made them myself.
