not-writing but doing okay
Mar. 26th, 2010 02:07 pm So writing has somehow fallen by the wayside. I think the weather is too nice to type right now.
Instead, I've been doing crazy-lots of work in the yard, planting the spring veggies and building new beds and pruning the magnolia tree in the front yard.
I've also been sewing again for the first time in years. Sometimes less is more, and I've moved my sewing room out of the massive, 2-car garage sized room I was using and into one of the 12X11 spare bedrooms and I like it a lot more. It feels cozier, the floor is carpeted, it's so small I have to keep it organized and clean up multiple times mid-project.
Also, about 6 months ago, a shelf of fabric collapsed under its own weight in the old craft room, and that was the room the cats were living in while I recovered from the birth, and a lot of it ended up with cat hair and dust on it. So I'm washing about five loads of fabric a day, line-drying it and folding it. Nothing makes me want to buy more fabric than handling fabric. I'm like scrooge mcduck. I could roll around in all the fancy brocades. Mmmm.
But anyway. I got off track. I think my fabric was too organized in the old room. Like--I didn't dare use it or dig through it because it was where it belonged. but now it's all messy and I've sewn 2 corsets in 2 weeks.
Anybody want a corset? I should have pics up soon. I have a wide selection of fabrics to choose from, and am getting pretty good at customizing sizes. I have a pattern from size 6-20.
