Crossposting for the WIN
I still can't post to LJ from work, nor comment on anyone's posts.
So I got my dreamwidth account password reset after not using it for few years, and now I can cross-post.

January Dress plan - rocking the lobster
The B-52s concert is only 2 weeks away, so I need to start the dress this weekend, as the following Saturday I have a baby shower to go to, and I don't want to be finishing this dress the day before I need it - I've done that far too many times and it's no longer an exciting buzz but a dread of not finishing.

Time to cull as I unpack
95% of the storeroom made it out to my new home today, and sheesh you can tell I have/had multiple hobbies.

An outline for nine months of dress-a-month
In my mind I've got a loose plan for the order I think I'll use these fabrics, and the pattern I'll use with each. Except for me plan sounds too close to rules and as said by Captain Barbossa of the Pirate Code these are more what you'd call guidelines than actual rules ( Read more... ) -
Return of the manky foot
Sheesh, I forgot to post on LJ that my manky foot is back to being manky.
Years back when I had plantar fasciitis after getting a hairline fracture on one of the tiniest bones in my right foot. I had to stop walking (50km a week), using stairs, and even sewing a single seam would flare it up again. I couldn't get my head around switching to the ( Read more... )
