Wow. Sorry to be such a stranger. My work hours have tripled–yay! The work is lovely, but I’m not the best at time management of my non-work time at the moment. Or perhaps, I put too many things on the “very important” list. Either way, I’m still here.
I think more than the shift in work is the incredible class that I recently took. A little, silly, introduction to the fashion industry course. Over 5 Fridays and 3 Saturdays our class met with 25 people from the Bay Area to discuss their various roles in the fashion industry, and how things are changing, or remaining the same. Very interesting indeed. I am still processing the information.
Here are a few photos of the past month’s antics.
A horizontal wine tasting party of the 2003 Stag’s Leap District. I didn’t make it very far–there were just too many to taste! I think each place setting had 15 or so tastes!
Tasting the oldest wine, I’ve ever had. An 1850 Madeira fortified with Brandy. Wowzas!
Dressing up for “Crazy Day” at school. I went as Eric.
Peace,

And then being super-ambitious I decided my second bra should be lacy. I cut all of the pieces out, but did the sewing on my own at home–I was feeling a wee-bit crappy that day. It was a bit intimidating, but I had no problems once I got over the fear involved. I did have to cut the underwires a bit and need to epoxy the ends so they aren’t sharp. Then I’ll finish the center front of the bra. I had to make matching panties, since there was extra lace. I am amazed at the fit–my size was pretty accurate to what I was buying in the store, but my underwire size was way too small. It jumped 3 intervals! Since you can’t pick the underwire size on store-bought bras, I think I’ll be making mine from now on. So pretty, custom fit, and really easy to do. I’m hooked.
