Words, and the Open Floodgates
I managed to cut about 450 words out of my story from Baen's Bar, but I'm going to give it a couple more days before I re-post. (So I can re-read it one more time with fresher eyes.) I'm watching the board like a hawk, concerned that they might be about to shut down, but I figure they'll give some warning.
I've pretty much decided to make a skirt for the big to-do. (Since I'm slightly above average height anyway this will work out well so that the length will be right.) Going to fabric stores, however, has provoked an unexpected response.
I want to buy EVERYTHING.
It's as if, now that I admitted I'm going to sew something, I am itching to start up again. I spot a wool and think, that would make up into a great dress, I spot a fringe and wonder what I could put it on. I found a velveteen remnant and thought it would make a nice bodice.
I even ran across a beautiful western-style embossed vinyl (looks like tooled leather) and thought about that as a bodice.
(in black, though)
Unfortunately, that would be a little too warm. Husband suggested finding a real leather for it instead. Hmmmm....I've tooled leather before....and hand-sewn leather....
Right. Back in high school. ::rolls eyes::
OK, so maybe not the western leather-look bodice.
But...but...
