Rolly chairs and I do not have the best of history together. I would always manage to find the one piece of something on the floor, catch a wheel, and fall flat on my back...much to the amusement of those around me. Since then, I have stuck to wheel-less chairs when I am working on costumes.

Ah, Serenity, almost forgot about all the knitting...if it helps, I can wait until after D*C for mine.

lol. Sorry, but the mental picture is FUNNY!

And don't worry about your hat. It's not the ones I have existing orders for that I'm concerned about. It's about seeing how many I can make before D*C to sell.

I sat for over an hour in a Drs office this morning. Brought my knitting with me. Nearly finished off another hat!

The mental picture is probably funnier than what really happened...so, let's stick with the mental images, ok? Less embarassment that way.

Depending on time, I may make an extra Browncoat to bring...but I have no idea about selling it. Is a booth required, or registration as a seller...? If you have any ideas, could you point me in the right direction?

A knit hat in an hour? Whoa.

Well, no, it takes me about 2 hrs to knit a Jayne hat, non-stop, but I made very good progress. I was hindered by this adorable little 2 yr old that came up to me and said "What's that?" and then proceeded to talk to me about EVERYTHING for the next 1/2hr. He kept going behind my chair, which was in a good hiding corner, and then popping his head out from one side and I'd say "boo!" and then he's dissolve into giggles. I thought about teaching him to say "Cunning orange hat" but his "Gamma" was standing guard so I dared not.

Yes, the mental picture is very cartoonish and funny. Nothing to be ashamed of. If it makes you feel better, I bent over to pick up a ball to throw to the dog the other day and somehow twisted my ankle and fell down. In front of JadeHand. It was very embarrasing. Wish I could say it's the first time that happened, but I think I have weak ankles because I fall like that a lot.

Don't think of it as falling down...look at it as an exercise in "going to ground"...practicing your ninja skills. See, no one would expect you to disappear into tall grass. Just tell them you are honing your arts!

That's wonderful! I'm going to remember that.

When I was little, I used to fall down the stairs. A LOT. It got so I am VERY good at it. I have Mad Falling Down the Stairs Skills. I can fall down a complete flight of concrete stairs without so much as a bruise.

Very impressive! See, I'd just end up in the hospital if I tried that. That's why I stick to swinging swords and other various weapons about. Oh, and the sewing. I have received a fair number of injuries from that pasttime, as well. Never learn...

Oooooh! Shiny!
I know this has probably been mentioned, but what type of cloth is that? It almost looks like a velvet or velveteen... Oh, and the grommets look good!
Thank you for sharing!

It's this fake suedey stuff. Looks and feels kinda like suede. I fell in love with it and convinced Mai to let me buy it for her.

Well, it's not anything fantastic, but I do hope it'll look good.

And I do admit the grommets look much better in black.
