very absent 3 years), but hey let's let bygones be bygones! These are 2 projects I did from my Draping class.  It is modeled by the pretty (and skinny!) Amanda, my coworker.  She was a good sport filling in for the rest of everybody else's projects that didn't work out with their models.  I know it can be hard to resist getting your hair and makeup did and dress up ;).  I had a fantastic and lovely teacher.  Thanks to her I can make almost anything now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few other projects are in the boiling pot.  They are definitely collabs so it should be more successful than my solo attempts, as evidenced in this blog.  If we don't meet again for another 3 years I want you to know that I'm always thinking of you! *love*&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35714898-7091147802790104011?l=surplusoflove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://surplusoflove.blogspot.com/feeds/7091147802790104011/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35714898&amp;postID=7091147802790104011' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35714898/posts/default/7091147802790104011'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35714898/posts/default/7091147802790104011'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://surplusoflove.blogspot.com/2009/06/believe-it-or-not-im-still-here.html' title='Believe it or not, I&apos;m still here.'/><author><name>surplus of love</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06117401685500102859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v96/mtien/blogger3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35714898.post-1466749130909713373</id><published>2006-12-03T21:18:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-12-03T21:24:27.584-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy Birthday Amber!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_Omj26pJRIPA/RXOw7CRydWI/AAAAAAAAAAM/GNhgjtQyd9I/s1600-h/amberbday1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block;

welcome to the official blog of &lt;i&gt;Surplus of Love&lt;/i&gt;. It is ran, maintained, and created by me, Margot, just like everything you will see posted.  This is mostly just a chronological timeline and occassional update on the projects for &lt;i&gt;Surplus of Love&lt;/i&gt; to keep things in an orderly fashion.  But if you're viewing this, too, then don't fear in treading on private property as you're more than welcome to view/comment!  From time to time, this blog will go through temporary hiatuses while at other times (hopefully more often than not) it will undergo streams of updates.  So bear with me as you'll gradually see the evolution of this blog, and in the meantime....enjoy &amp;hearts;&amp;hearts;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35714898-5291151266016251082?l=surplusoflove.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://surplusoflove.blogspot.com/feeds/5291151266016251082/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=35714898&amp;postID=5291151266016251082' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35714898/posts/default/5291151266016251082'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35714898/posts/default/5291151266016251082'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://surplusoflove.blogspot.com/2006/11/first-project-thanks-to-thanksgiving.html' title='First yield of Thanksgiving break!'/><author><name>surplus of love</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06117401685500102859</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v96/mtien/blogger3.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
