Goodbye Satine, hello...somebody
A moment of silence for Satine (the car, not the courtesan), towed off this afternoon and donated to the Greater Illinois chapter of the Alzheimer's Association in memory of my grandpa. Would have been more appropriate for her predecessor, which actually started out as his car, but this works.
In an attack of temporary sanity, I have determined that having the polonaise (out of the silk my mom gave me after she used something else for her dress for my wedding) made for the "Victorian Vampire Reception" at Polaris is Simply Not Going To Happen. I did manage to get it cut out, at least, so when I do have time to pay proper attention to the construction, I have a head start. Maybe I'll make a goal of finishing it before the year is out, and figure out something to wear it to.
My brain is therefore busily spinning an alternative plan to jury-rig something around my existing Victorian corset (which is white, so I'm thinking in a black-and-white direction). I should be able to make use of a few things that have been languishing in the Scary Fabric Stash awaiting a purpose. It would probably take me longer to comprehensibly describe what I have in mind than it will to actually put it together, so you'll just have to wait until there are pictures. *evil g*
