chocolatepotI really need to figure out what to do for my Garbage Situation, which is that I bought a regular kitchen/restaurant-bathroom garbage can with a domed top and a swinging door ... and it is way too big. I don't throw a lot of food away, but I generate so little garbage that it's decomposing and horribly rank when it's still empty enough that I feel wasteful getting rid of the bag. (I still do it, though, of course.) They didn't have anything smaller at Big Lots!
Watching Mad Men from the beginning. They're so young, it's ridiculous. And Sal, oh, Sal.
Oh my god, Don's face when Betty's giving the scar monologue, I'm a horrible person.
Okay, right now I am putting in the sleeves to the dress, and if it still looks terrible I'm seriously thinking of just taking it apart, possibly not even keeping the skirt (because the gathered point in the skirt isn't working well in this fabric either). Ugh, I'm so disappointed - this print is really cute and I was really looking forward to the dress.
ETA: Hmm, I put the right sleeve in and it all looks a lot better.
Tomorrow I am absolutely doing some more Victorian sewing. And I've decided, in the wake of realizing this '40s dress is not to be made in heavy cotton, to use the stuff I bought for the short-sleeved version - a check with florals - will instead be this dress (center version, obvs). I would like to make a blouse, a buttony one not a jersey one, but I have a very bad track record when it comes to finishing those. :/ Also I have so many dress and skirt patterns, and the blouses I like are so 'spensive.
