Don't Panic...

I am highly amused. Someone has already offered to buy the beautiful perfect Peter Fox boots I won on eBay. For a pair of shoes I now refer to as "My Precious" whilst clutching them to my bosom, I don't think the woman has much of a chance. Hear that world? You'll have to pry my precious boots out of my cold dead hands!!

Ok, enough of the shoe lust. In textile related news, I am finally done with the latest round of stuff for Rainbow. Hurray! One hideous dress project out of the way! I have to make a couple of skirts for the woman to go with the awful top, but what is needed for the immediate term is done and she'll be picking that up tonight. I managed to cut out and assemble the pieces of my 1901 corset over the weekend. Hurray! Well, it's not exactly assembled all the way, it;s still in 2 lining pieces and 2 cover fabric pieces, but that pretty decent progress for a mornings work I think. I could not sleep at all Saturday night, so I ended up getting up at 4:45 AM and sewing all morning. I worked on the Rainbow dresses, finished the curtains for the living room, and got the corset cut out and put together before deciding I really need a cute flippy skirt for the spring, and quickly making one. I need to put it on a waist band, but it's basically done. It's cute. Kind of an a-line wrap skirt with a cute pleated thing in the front where it laps over itself. I'm going to get some matching ribbon and make a bow to go at the waist. Pictures will be forthcoming! I promise!

On the school/personal front, things are not feeling so great. I'm having a hard time finally coming to terms with leaving, but I think this is what I really need to do. Either way, I'm going to have regrets, which is the worst of it. I keep trying to tell myself that everything happens for a reason and has a way of working out for the best in the end, but I'm not doing a very job convincing myself that this is so. I just have to be strong, and trust myself to make the right decisions.

Eck. Being a grown up sucks.
