I hate endings.
I have a ball on the 29th of April, for which I have made a dress, it needs taking in. This is a good thing, but also a bad thing, as I just can't be bothered with it. I know I should just do it, and then I don't have it hanging over me like a big black cloud. (Well, a big purple, starry cloud - it's so cute). But, *sigh* I have a full time job and a social life, and the sewing gets lost some where between the two.
Perhaps on Tuesday I will have the time to sit down and do it.
I went to town after work today to find a dress to wear to a family event on Tuesday. I've lost weight recently and I've begun feeling not totally crap about the way I look.
Everything I tried on made me look pregnant, or just like a sack of potatoes. The dress I really wanted had the effect of making my breasts look like they were trying to take over the earth.
*sigh*
I really hate off the rail stuff. It always looks so nice on the hangers, but when I try it on it looks rubbish! Well, no I don't hate the clothes, I hate my oddly proportioned body.
I would ask if anyone knew where I could find some cool and groovy sewing patterns, but I'm not entirely convinced anyone reads this anymore.
Of course there have been things happening. Not just in the crafty side of things.
Since I last posted anything of significance I have:
broken up with boyfriend (hurrah).
fallen deeply in love (yes, this is sarcasm. In truth I am somewhat infatuated with a Nice Young Man. But my affections are unrequited, alas).
Crewed shows.
Bonded with the maternal unit.
Signed the contract for my new house (yippeee!)
Spent all my money on yarn and sewing things.
Things I have been making:
Nush's swing cardigan (although I'm not supposed to be talking about it!)
Dress for the PAU ball.
I also bought 4 balls of Debbie Bliss Soho in my lunch break to make the newsboy cap from SnBN. (In the purple/pink colour).
