The weekend, good and bad
These last few days have been rough on the species Felis catus. Not only did we witness the passing of Grumpy Cat, but a couple of my SCA friends lost one of their 5-month-old kittens to FIP, and early this morning an LJ/DW friend lost one of his fur-buddies to post-operative septic shock.
I'm grateful my Julia is still doing very well, even though she is doing her best to be a lazy-butt today, just because she can....
Personally, I had a most enjoyable time at my friend Melinda's cabin out in West Virginia. Another sewing retreat, along with music and target archery, is in the books. Granted, on Friday I futzed around too much with a shiny polyester (not-quite-finished) Italian Renn dress I bought at a spring 2018 SCA event for $3. It really does look like a beginner's project that was abandoned. This was the second time I've solicited opinions on how to make it into a piece of garb. However, I noticed that there was a small worn spot on the front of the skirt, which on such shiny fabric would stand out like a giant pimple on a model's face. I think I'll just cut it up for trim instead.
