Friday was spent shopping ... in an amazing twist, our heroine brought all the bits & pieces for 3 separate costumes with her into 3 different fabric/craft stores and planned for each costume's next step. I spent way too much money, but it's all justified as stuff I need!
But now I have all these things for all these separate projects, and it's hard to keep everything straight, so now I have paper bags lined up against the living room wall. Each is labeled:
1. Blue Flounce costume hip scarf
2. Blue Flounce costume headpiece
3. Black Flounce costume headpiece
4. Black Flounce costume belly drape
5. Purple Flounce costume headpiece
The hip scarf is priority, as we'll be wearing that costume sooner than the others, but I started working on my belly drape yesterday instead. My neighbor used to make jewelry and glass stuff, so when he started showing me all his bits and pieces that I could work with, I went bananas with the creating! Now that I see all the stuff he's got, I want to make all sorts of things! But I must focus on one project at a time. After these 5 things get done, maybe then I can start making jewelry out of all the lovely things found in those tackle boxes!
since I am a dork, I had kinda forgotten about your awesome blog, but all this while you have been creating away. It's terrific! Sometimes I wish for magic time stretchers so a one-hour toddler nap could last all afternoon or all morning and I could actually DO a project rather than just thinking about and jotting down ideas for doing a project. Ahh, projects.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how people with children get anything done.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm really glad you jot ideas down. It causes me a lot of anxiety that I'll forget a really awesome idea (because I do forget all the time!) and I think that's part of why I get projectitis so bad, because I need to hurry and get it done before I forget!
Anyway, thanks for the lovely compliment.
