random stuff

Had a hard time getting to sleep last night... combo of my mind wanting to think about
stuff and not having gotten to sleep at my normal time for a few nights. Did not want to
wake up this morning... luckily, my beloved knows me well enough to give me a wake up call or I would have been a very late girl I'm sure.
Going through my desk stuff deciding what to take home, what to give away, what is
company stuff and just stays here...
I cannot decide whether I want to embroider a dragon or something on the back of the
kimono I'll be making... If I do, it will be a massive handwork project, which I could
handle except - I'm planning to make the matching corset to wear over it, and I'm not
sure how that would look - massive gorgeous dragon covered up by corset. And I
have not yet found the exact dragon I want... So must give thought to this. I have
seen some kimonos decorated in a pleasing assymetrical way, with a motif around the
leftish side of the hem and then a bit repeated on the right shoulder... this way would
be more suited to the corset-over look, but I'm not sure it's dramatic enough for me,
and not sure what I would embroider...
Okay kittens, I think that's it...

fabric cravings

Alas, I have discovered that Ambiance Bemberg is *NOT* the same as the Bemberg my skirt is made from. I have determined that I just need to drag the skirt into a fabric store and beg and plead until they agree to order millions of colors in it. So I am sad that I haven't found where to get it after all, but happy the place lost my order and I didn't buy the wrong stuff. But I must must must have more of this. In fact, I need to just mend my skirt so I can wear it and get my fix. And I will make a fabric store near me carry it if I have to take over the world to do so! And since they are custom ordering it for me (when not if) maybe maybe maybe they can get it in a custom length so the sheets won't be such a pain... I won't hold my breath on that one though. Okay, enough silkiness fiending...
