in the land of the painted petticoats...

Getting very bored with the same userpic all the time over here on DW...I think I'm going have to import my userpics from LJ soon, I just got very used to having a nice variety to choose from!
Sent off the first painted petticoat today, and started the second; it's at least a slightly different color scheme so not another two panels of the exact. same. thing., anyway! I really do like painting petticoats or I wouldn't have put them in the shop for sale, but two right on top of each other is a bit much. Especially as I should have made Taylor's at least a month ago so I really am obligated to get this done ASAP!
If I'm very good at painting the next two days though, I might give myself one day off to sew something for me. Possibly decide what outfit I'm going to wear to the big hat tea, but more likely a modern skirt or start a new dress or something. A small attempt to start getting rid of my starting-to-get-ridiculous stash of "modern" dress fabric! "Modern" here meaning 1940s-60s, of course. But someday I'm going to get rid of the joann's green fugly polo and need actual dress clothes, really!
("Someday" currently depends on whether Rutgers decides I'm a reasonable risk. We shall see - I'll post more about that later if I'm accepted! I thought I wrote a terribly moving essay... *snort* )
