I finally found tattoos, bought several cuz I had to order at least $4 worth online. So, there will be extras.
I found a cool one for me. It's a piratical skull with a rose in it's mouth. Appropriate, no?
Okay, you want me to make sure we have fine straight pins and safety pins, no problems, I can bring some.
What inserts are you referring to? I'm so confused.
I am in a bloody foul mood today. I may end up having to kill someone. Problem is, my list of people I'd like to murder today is so very long, I'm really not sure where to begin.
Where'd that complaining thread go?

oh dear, ok! Chocolate winging its way towards you! (ok, so its only virtual chocolate, but, less calories!
the inserts i was referring to where the triangular bits of fabric between the tabs to keep them (the tabs) down - they need to be fitted, and if we don't have time to sew them, then safety pins will be required.
whats up? the ranting thread i think is lost to the archives, but you are more than welcom to rant here if needs be.
very apt tattoo!
Would capatain Mal bottom make you feel better? >

Oh yeah, those inserts! I forgot all about them.
Yes, safety pins and straight pins. Can do!
I feel better now. Calmer. But it's been a long and not so very great day.
But there were chocolate chip cookies. Homemade. Makes everything better!
Can you believe I started packing this weekend? I had to, I had so much crap piling up, I needed to stash it all somewhere.
umm...costumeage costumeage....um....oh! I also sewed all the hooks & eyes into my choli. But I really don't think I'll end up bringing it to D*C. Don't think I'll have an opportunity to wear it.
Has yours come in the post yet?
Mal's naked butt always makes things better!

yes, it really does.
I'm glad you feel better. Praise be to the cookie maker.
and no, the sari hasn't come yet. *sulk* i was hoping! but i doubt it will come now before i go away. I was going to eamail them soon and get a date of posting, so that i know exactly when to start panicking. maybe i should have sent it to you
ah well, fingers crossed.
well, i've learned something valuable today - when making tabbed corsets in the future, sew the lower edge of binding on BEFORE you put the bones in - there absolutely no way i can sew the stuff on by machine now, so i'm having to do it by hand.
but i am coaching myself into a zen like calm. I can do it, i know i can. I shall not go stir crazy in less than a weeks time.
what candy was it you wanted me to bring again?
and i'm trying to find the travel details for you, i can't find the envelope they're in, it should be pinned to the board over my computer, or in my bag (believe it or not, i kinda started packing two weeks ago)and as is frickin typical of me, its not there. Which means it is somewhere in the house, so on top of getting everything finished, all this bleedin hand sewing, getting boot fixed and what not, i have to tidy and go thorough my room and all my various belongings to try and find it. And i can't do any of that in ernest till thursday, as i'm working 10am till 10pm tuesday and wednesday.
Really. Starting. To. Panic. Now.
no! Zen calm, zen calm.
Squeak!

Deep cleansing breaths. Water gently cascading down rocks. Deep pools of clear water. The wind whispering through fields of wild flowers. Snow falling softly on pine trees. Deep cleansing breaths.
Better?
You can only do so much, so don't push yourself too hard, okay?
Candy: wine gums, galaxy bars, those star thingies you were talking about.
I made myself a little drawstring purse to match my pirate costume last night. It will be useful in carrying essentials when I'm pocketless. Cell phone, chapstick, cashy money.
I'm very sorry you have to hand sew the binding on. I did a lot of that on Mai's and it is SO time consuming. I find things go faster if I spread them out. So, crazy me, what I do is knit for an hour, sew for an hour, knit for an hour, sew for an hour. Or, usually, knit for one episode of Wonderfalls, sew for one episode of Firefly. Or whatever. But I'm silly like that.

no it makes sense! I am alternating things - I do eyelets till my hands are too sore, then the hat until i'm sick of being anally neat, then the bindings, which don't have to be too neat yet as the first lot of stitches will be concealed, and the second lot is whipstitching which is quite quick anyway.
Ok, i found, not the original, but the copy i made of my flight details, so sending you the email.
And i got the note about the shindig! Yey! whoot!
but you have to wear your sari now! And i hope that mine comes in time because i don't have anything brown coaty to wear other wise.
fingers crossed!

yeah? Maybe I will wear my sari. I can't decide. I want to dance and saris are no conducive to dancing.
I had planned on wearing a nice blouse/skirt combo to Prom, but then I was thinking chinese blouse/skirt to shindig.
Not sure. Must ponder.

I tired to put it on my mannequin, but she was too fat.
So my brothers girlfriend Sarah offered to wear it for a few minutes so i could check it over and get photo's. Hope you don't mind!

and bear in mind, that though she's very skinny it was big on her, and with the wide stomacher i'm confident that it's very adjustable and will fit you brilliantly.
(though it may be overlong! hopefully you are taller than her, you looked to be)
but anyway....
