sublimatedangelYay! Last day of work is over and done!
I feel very relieved to have a bit of freedom. It will be very nice to relax and have more time for projects and such. Once school starts, I'm not sure how much free time I will have, but for now I intend to take advantage of it. I do have Thanksgiving, etc. coming up too, so I'm sure I'll have plenty to do in the next couple weeks. But I am thrilled... I can stay up late, I can sleep in, I can do all the little cleaning/organizing things I haven't had time for... It's just nice!
I think tomorrow I may start the kimono project. Haven't worked with the fraycheck stuff before, so it should be interesting... maybe I will make a little barbie-doll size one first to get the hang of it. Maybe not. We shall see!
Still need to find out what the heck I want as far as the embroidery goes. Yes, my beloved sewing group, you will be seeing alot of this project I think. Especially if I decide to do something big. Which knowing me... heehee... well it's quite likely. And I need to finish measuring/designing pattern for the pvc corset project. And then I think I need to just hang around Rois until her incredible abilities rub off on me... mmmmm, I need beautiful corset making skills. Yes I do.
On a related note, I'm feeling intimidated by the wing part of the project.... I just can't decide how the boning/support in them is going to work. So those may be put off for a while. The corset part is what I would wear more often anyhow.
Re: duvet cover.... still need to figure out what's going on with that. Next week - remeasure and try and remember what I was doing with it. Decide how it's going to close... I'm leaning towards snaps since I think the zippers would need to just be insanely long, and I don't have much practice with zippers anyhow.
Oh, and soon I need to attach that elastic to the feather mattress and/or our sheets. This one is way way better about not losing feathers, but it doesn't like to stay put on the bed.
Need to make Christmas lists... I'd like to get everything done early this year. We'll see how doable it is... I kinda want to do something personal this year, since I have time, but I'm not sure what.
Tomorrow I should also go to the grocery store whilst it is not so busy. We are out of juice and a couple other things I think. It's strange... in some ways, I think this is a good move for me as far as gaining more independence... I am such such such a depending kind of person in many ways. I don't want that to neccessarily change, but I want to be that way by choice, not because I don't have the ability to do things on my own. Errrr... did that make sense? Ah well... not a big thing either way... I am happy with where I am, I am happy with where I'm going.

2 things
Date: 2001-11-08 02:00 am (UTC)So, tell me about the Duvet cover, it sounds like something I could be into. Or maybe I should just quilt?
Re: 2 things
Date: 2001-11-08 11:14 am (UTC)It's in the stretch velvet stuff, and one side is blue and white with a checkerboard pattern, and I think it was all supposed to be edged in blue around the checkerboard. I don't quite remember *sheepish grin* And the other side is going to be black, with sheer red ribbon sewn on it to create a similar checkerboard pattern look, with bows at the intersections. After I finish the blue/white side, I need to go looking for sheer red or red/black material to make bedcurtains from, and then find ribbon that matches it. Then if I can find my bemberg in red and make sheets, my bed will just look gorgeous as heck.
