things

- I did indeed finish my 1940 lemon print dress. Wore it today, thought it was very cute, and didn't take any pictures of it. Oh well.

- Got my faille yesterday in the mail - very pleased, it's very yellow indeed. I wanted it for maybe an 18th century Thing but we'll see. Not something I remotely needed! xD

- I got my correct swatch in the mail yesterday - the sparkles are actually made of little flat bits of metal rather than spangles (just like the original inspiration for this dress). Yay! Went to order it this evening - sold out. Not Pleased. You know, if you'd sent me the correct freakin' swatch originally, it wouldn't have been sold out! Grumble grumble grump. (It comes in a red colorway as well, but it's $7 more/yard for some reason, and I don't like it nearly as much as the blue. Yes, they got a cranky email from me.) Back to the drawing board.

- I shouldn't go fabric shopping when I'm still miffed about not getting the original fabric I wanted. I tend to, uh, acquire fabric for consolation purposes! To be fair, fabric is a GREAT consolation...
