mandie_rwVacation was good times, and now I'm back in Jersey, up at school, and it's cold. Even snowed today, and it's supposed to snow a bit more tomorrow. Well, that's certainly a change from Nassau, Bahamas.
No, I did not get a tan. I worship sunscreen, and hate getting roasted in the sun. Even horseback riding in the Dominican Republic for 2+ hours, I managed to avoid a tan.
Spring semester classes start tomorrow (well, my 10am is canceled; our prof refuses to have class on Inauguration Day, which is awesome), and after we got home Saturday night, I took stock of the costumes I've sewn over break.
Seem to have come up with a grand total of NOTHING. Hmm. Okay, okay, I did finish that 18thc petticoat to go over my pocket hoops, but it's too long anyway, and I really need to repleat the back half. And I made one dress for the cruise. (Looked pretty nice, if I do say so myself, which of course meant I failed completely to get any pictures of it whatsoever.*headdesk*) But that's not a costume.
There are many things I did NOT finish, which is why I left my room at home in something of a shambles. Things are piled precariously everywhere, mostly with sharp objects embedded in them, waiting to attack unwary passers-by. (Brought M.'s stays here to work on, though. A cruise is not generally a good place to find motivation for sewing. It's a good place to find motivation to drink and people-watch. And see many people in totally inappropriate swimwear, and cringe.)
Also, you're all generally unhelpful (kidding, kidding, thanks for voting!) as to choosing which fabric to use for my Bastille Day dress, as the two stripey fabrics came out in a tie. I may have to choose for myself (ohnoes, the horror!)...or ask some Real Life People here their opinions. So I don't have to choose. :D I shall let you know.
