I feel like I’m whipping along and the universe around me is having a moment of balance. So I better enjoy it while it lasts because I’m sure it’s a fleeting moment. I think it’s because I got so much work done over the last few weeks, the insane pressure has momentarily eased and I can breathe deeply.
So if you read the rest of this, it must be because you're at work on a Friday and bored out of you skull. hahhaha! For me, this is a tool for tracking what I'm up to and reinforcing my "to do" list of tasks. Because my brain says "if you wrote down that you were going to do it, you need to do it". heh!

Reality check - My docket is a lot fuller than I thought it was. And I seem to be losing some much needed flabbage through conscientious healthful living and not by accident (yea!). Instead of making myself a bunch of fitted stuff that might hang wrong on me in a year (which is exactly what's happened with the bright red Italian I got laurelled in), I’m going to work on my commitments to others. I also rethought my plan to make a particular dress for Beltane – why in the world would I drag silk through the dirt? Anyway, we aren’t going for the entire event and it was the Salon that was motivating me. Since I’m not sure when the salon is, it’s silly to put myself through that. I may start the project, but I’m not going to set a due date. And if my stars are aligned and I can go to the salon, I have plenty of things to wear even if it’s all old and been worn dozens of times before. Maybe the wool Raphael? Maybe I could make myself a new chemise for it? I've been wanting to do that for ages. Hmm. I must ponder this.
Anyway, the short of it is no fitted Ren dresses for me this year.
I’ve got the following:( Read more... )

Session 2 of early period costume workshop was last night. It seemed to go smoother than the first one. I think it helped a lot that I copied our meeting style from work, which is have an agenda, note who’s responsible for each agenda item, and stick to a time limit for each one. ( Read more... )
Work is busy, but not insane this week.
We're taking the kids to a comic convention this weekend - should be fun. And my mom is coming over to spend part of the weekend with us. We'll need to snap some pictures because she's then heading off to spend 5 weeks with sis in VA.
