chocolatepotUgghh, unemployment makes me need to move out even more so I can get away from my dad's rules on what I need to be doing with my time, yet it also makes it even more impossible for me to do so. *shakes fist*
I am working on another Regency frill - atm I think the frills and chemisettes make the most sense to build up stock for, because I think that to a visitor to the shop, it seems more worthwhile to buy a full accessory for an outfit that took little fabric than to buy what appears to be a piece of trim for an outfit that may have already cost quite a bit. But I stopped to work on a basic draft of a query letter for my pattern book. Dad is being an utter pain in the ass about it so I didn't want to, but a few hours after he went to work it seemed like a sensible idea, so I sat down to work on it. The nice thing about non-fiction query letters is that there doesn't seem to be as much pressure.
I'm supposed to send my resumé to this pastry shop, but I'm feeling very ambivalent about it. I would LOVE to work in a bakery, but sending them my resumé is pointless. There is nothing on it that will make them want me. It will only make them uninterested. If they don't want me just based on a friend's recommendation, my resumé isn't going to do anything for me.
Having a good time reading Raspberri Cupcakes and imagining getting to eat all that food, but it is also making me feel inadequate. Oh bother.
