Failing anything interesting to post...
I got my gloves today! I am unbelievably happy about them, they're so satin-y and pretty, and my fears about them being too big because there was no real size guide on the website was unfounded - they're small enough to be tight on my fingers and round my lower upper arm... er... that sounds weird - the bit just above my elbow! Unfortunately I have the world's smallest wrists so there is a little excess material around the wrists, but that's actually not that bad because it means I'll actually be able to move my hands around.
On the negative side, I imagine I won't be wearing them for very long with my costume, in fact I may well have to not wear them most of the time because I really don't want them to get damaged! Which defeats the purpose, but it looks like they'll be a bitch to clean too. Despite that, I'm dead chuffed with them, and therefore had to take pictures! And so...
Me being 'elegant' or something, I was quite concentrated on the camera - you have no idea how hard it is to get a picture of the whole of your arm when it's you taking the picture.
Look how shiny, and the material stretches and reshapes really easily which is great.
And this one is to show that I didn't rearrange them after I put them on because the seams are all on the wrong place! But it does show the excess material around my wrist and how nicely it fits my fingers - apart from where the seams show which is my bad arranging!
So, in any case - www.storminateacup.org is a wonderful shop who deserve your patronage. Oh, although they need to work on thier colour names, because they don't necessarily match up on the options and swatches. The do have a load of colours though, and a fantastic range of various other things as well.
In other news, I booked the tickets to Avenue Q so they are winging their way to me via the Royal Mail as fast as they can (hopefully...) so I should have those by the end of the week (although the post I received today suggests that the Royal Mail is running slightly behind due to last week's snow) and therefore will be able to bounce up and down about going to see Avenue Q. Yay!
Also? BORED BORED BORED!
