UFO Update

March 25, 2008 in patterns, sewing | 5 comments

I sewed a stitch or two on the corset–I hope to be well on my way to sewing up the side seams and other finishing touches really soon. I stitched a bit on the unfinished shower curtain.

I also worked on the back for my Balenciaga inspired shirt. I can say that I hate working with silk. I don’t like cutting it. You can see that the back center seam is off kilter–I don’t like ripping it out and re-doing it. I don’t like how it frays. So–I am thinking I’ll actually re-cut the back as one solid piece and work on draping on top of it. Maybe?? Or I can shove it to the back of the closet until I take a draping class.

I really just want to burn it all–but I’m not because silk stinks when you burn it. Darn natural fiber.

Don’t you think that Maud’s butt cheeks hanging out are cute?

Peace,

No Missing Socks!!

We did laundry yesterday and we didn’t lose a sock. We didn’t even gain a sock! Since we use a laundromat–this is monumental. Here’s Scotch with the proof.

Locker Room Talk

March 25, 2008 in self care | No comments

After my swim this morning, I was rinsing off. Two other ladies, fellow swimmers, were chatting about the people in the pool this morning. They were talking about the guy that did the erratic breast stroke. The other person that didn’t stay in their lane, etc.

Then they started talking about this young college girl–in reality me. They mentioned that she was in the slow lane, but wasn’t that slow. So it looks like I’ve graduated to the medium lanes. Wow, I’ve come a long way in the past few weeks–especially since I had not swam much or with proper form before mid-February! I love encouraging gossip. Plus they assume I’m in college–I’m not, but I take that as a compliment that I still look/act youthful!

Today it is supposed to be gorgeous. I’m looking forward to it.
