after saving the graniph t-shirt voucher for when i find one that i really like, was told yesterday - three days before the offer expired - that you had to pick from a selection of 200 they've put aside.
meaning.... by the time i realised, only TWO were left T____T and they were both LARGE T___T

so yesterday night, after spending what will probably take 20 minutes on a machine but around 5 hours in hand-sewing time including endless fails and restarts (sewed the sleeves shut; back-stitched on the wrong side; stitched on the wrong fold), resizing was done:

and now it fits properly! thank goodness for the many tutorials on the internet ; )

for more exciting news...
today i officialy became a UNI STUDENT!! (exclamation while the feeling still lasts)
caught the wrong bus in the morning. and arrived 50 minutes early. so walked to their library. it was still closed. and discovered that there's this bell music thing that plays from this building - i think- in the morning for a long time (calming music not irritating bell noises)

anyways, i "made" this hair tie last week - button attached to hair tie. hahaha so simple but never had the idea before.

*update: that bell-like sound was from the "carillon", a musical instrument - only 2 in the country!
