Today was tough, I wanted to sleep all day & could have, if not for my single minded determination to Do Something. Even in the midst of my own misery.
So I sat with Miss Faith today & we accomplished two completed projects: Harry Potter skirt & T-shirt scarf from unschooling conference shirts :)
Our last official meeting as a sewing class. Sad. I really like Sally & I'm glad I'll get to see her often in the studio. I want to continue my sewing endeavours & expand my wardrobe.
Tonight though, I used the rotary cutter & dissembled a few dozen conference tee shirts, to become patchwork scarves.
Talked lots & lots about a huge variety of artistic expressions just awaiting my attention.
Second mention of the Rodin in the Gorge. I must go!
I turned on a James Patterson audiobook & painted for hours today. Hours! As in, I began & finished one book today.
We had tile class (Thursday Night Therapy), so I visited while painting s'more.
Then I turned my scraps into paper-thin wrapped vessels. Oh my.
Me & Faith-the-Singer have a date with Harry Potter tomorrow!
Today's porcelain class awakened my need for clay time!
I've two darted bowls & another Life is Good tile.
In serious need of a full day of underglaze painting.
Today someone said, "How nice, if you have the time." I realized I don't have the time to indulge my depression on the goddamned sofa & yet there I've been for too many Februaries past. This year, I'm making time to bring myself to a place where depression is less likely to sneak in & set up. A place of life and possibilities ...
Polka-dot Cherry Dress Day!
I'm much more precise this time, knowing do-over time is long. The wonky strap spot can have a red band added easily ;)
There is inch-wide red trim, zig-zag topstitched, between cherry & dot panels on the skirt.
When I assemble the dress, there'll be a red band between skirt & bodice. Tomorrow. *squee*
Do I dare say it? Proud. So proud.
Studio has wonky weekend hours & I arrived too late for two disciplines. Tiles cried to me!
I've now finished the 4th tile in my Yellow Submarine series:
And my very first labyrinth
Good day!
Sewing class at the studio tonight.
Sally brought in her new patternbook: Shape Shape. How to sew to cutest layerable clothes. Looked it up online, I found 8 Simple Projects (wrap shirt, dress, skirt). Basic skills ---> awesome clothes!
Now armed with the Joanne's coupon.... linen tablecloth into dress dreams for me tonight!
Edit: Cut all pieces for cherry dot Dress!
