DESIGNING
I’m determined to come up with a design that will become some sort of beautiful garment for myself to wear using Madeline Tosh Vintage, Sport, and ASAP in the Marfa colorway.  Because I love them.  And I might be a little bit crazy.

SIGN LANGUAGE
#nofacialexpression challenge
For this episode I sign the song “You’ll Be Back” from the musical Hamilton with NO facial expression as my contribution to the No Facial Expression Challenge currently going around the Deaf/ASL Community on social media

Lyrics:
You say the price of my love’s not a price that you’re willing to pay
You cry in your tea which you hurl in the sea when you see my go by
Why so sad
Remember we made an arrangement when you went away
Now you’re making me mad
Remember despite our estrangement
I’m you’re man….

You’ll be back
Soon you’ll see
You’ll remember you belong to me
You’ll be back
Time will tell
You’ll remember that I served you well

Oceans rise
Empires fall
We have seen each other through it all
And when push comes to shove
I will send a fully armed battallion to remind you of my love

Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da da dayada

Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da da dayada

You say our love is draining and you can’t go on
You’ll be the one complaining when I am gone

And no don’t change the subject
Cause you’re my favorite subject
My sweet submissive subject
My royal loyal subject
Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever

You’ll be back
Like before
I will fight the fight and win the war
For you’re love
For you’re praise
And I’ll love you till my dying days

When you’re gone
I’ll go mad
So don’t throw away this thing we have
Cause when push comes to shove
I will kill you’re friends and family to remind you of my love

Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da da dayada

Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
Dada da

Everybody!

Da dada da da
Da dadada dayada
