I'm finding my lack of projects very disconcerting. Altering so many things to get done, having nothing in particular that I need to do is kind of freaking me out. I'm actually creating work for myself. It's absurd. For example, I'm currently tossing around the idea of making a ball gown bodice for my Mrs. Gaskell dress to wear to the Gaskell Ball next weekend. The dress will work just fine as it is, but apparently this lack of frantic sewing just isn't working out for me.
I'm clearly insane.
I actually have no major projects to worry about until after Christmas. Hallelujah! After that, I have a couple of things to do with OES and Rainbow people, a bit of work to do on a Queen Suit for a Renaissance Fair, and that's it. I've pretty much decided that I am sick of sewing for other people on the current set of terms. Having to travel all over the place to deliver stuff and do fittings is just stupid, and a huge waste of my precious vacation time (never mind money). Wedding gowns actually seem like a good idea in comparison.
Anyway, this weekend is shaping up to be a full one (even more so than usual!). Friday I am supposed to be at a house-warming party, Saturday I'm in the corset window again and the Costumers Guild is coming to Dickens, people are crashing at my house Saturday night which will result in wine-soaked debauchery to be sure, and Sunday some of the OES folks are coming out to fair. It should be fun. I'm actually looking forward to it!

I could be talked into sewing for others again for the right amount of money, but we're talking the RIGHT amount of money. In my experience, it's never worth it. Not only are you never paid adequately for your sewing time, but suddenly you are driving two hours round trip on a Sunday for a fitting and there your whole day went.
