Thinking about sailor knots has now evolved into

thinking about netting.

Wouldn't it be cool to dye muslin various shades of blue,

tear it into strips and make a big net?

I know just where I'd use it.

Now, I just have to figure out how to make it!

Look at this video I came across. It's mesmerizing .

Decorations are a big deal. they pretty much make the theme. my sister's bat mitzvah theme was pink, so it wasn't to hard to comprehend the idea..but i will have to try to get across the theme from just the visuals. So i love these flags. my mom makes these really great triangular party flags, that we could probably do with these same patterns.

and since that is the sailor alphabet, we could spell something out having to do with the bat mitzvah. and since the patterns are so simple, i think it would be pretty easy to recreate.

and on a side note having nothing to do with my bat mitzvah, i think this is funny.

.....on how we're going to use knots. But we will use knots. Somehow. Somewhere.

{sadie} intro

last summer, i read a book called "the mysterious benedict society and the perilous journey". for me, this book kicked off everything sailor glam. in the book, it talked about pretty rugged sailors, big burly guys with tattoos who lifted cargo onto boats. the whole time i was reading it, i just felt a connection, as if i really needed to do something about this whole sailor thing.

so i decided that i would make my theme to my bat mitzvah "sailor glam". basically, all of those sailors, lifting cargo, with the big tattoos and all of the flags, but girly. i'm not really sure if this will make sense right now, but soon, you will really get it, and hopefully, love the idea as much as me.

this link shows one of my videos on my youtube channel inspired by sailors.
