chocolatepotIn accordance with superstition, I'm trying to spend the day being productive. Well, I'm planning to spend the day being productive:
- working on my wool skirt that only has vertical seams done
- playing piano
- finishing(?) my exchange fic
- continuing the restructuring of my Ladyhawke AU fic
Was going to try not to spend money (again, in line with superstition) but Mrs. Depew had a sale, so I bought some more Haslam books. But I'm basically at the point where I will never need to buy a Haslam book again because I have all of the ones with dresses that will suit me, so in a sense this is just sensible, maybe even beneficial as I can now shut the door on buying them.
Well, I have done excellently at playing piano. Finished the back opening of the skirt, too.
Did not finish the fest fic, didn't really think I would. But I did finish the first section and it's also long enough to hit the minimum, so no worries.
Sent a FB message to a different local tailor to see if she would do the finishing on sewing projects for me so I can maybe move ahead on a few things. If all goes well I may progress to "so, can I give you a pattern and fabric and have you make it for me?" And then possibly to "so, can I give you a hand-scaled pattern ... ?"
