okay okay FINE ("I told you so")

Back in the day...I would keep sewing until 2am or even later because this is going to be wearable, dammit!

These days...I like getting a reasonable amount of sleep, and it's technically wearable...dammit?

The bodice is at a place where I could totally get it 85% done and 100% wearable if I wanted to stay up that late, but I'm sleepy enough that I know I wouldn't be doing my best work. Or, like, halfway decent work, honestly.

I decided this about an hour ago, and spent the intervening hour leisurely collecting all the bits I need for tomorrow, ironing things, and starching the collar of the guimpe. All set to go, except I can't find my bag of "daywear" costume earrings, which is vaguely annoying, because I only keep costume jewelry in one box, and if it's not in that box I have no idea where it is! Oh well, I'll pull from the normal jewelry box!

Tea house is about an hour away, but it's not til 1pm, so thankfully I don't have to get up at the asscrack of dawn, like I do for some events! Plenty of time to have a hair meltdown (hm, I wonder what I usually do for 19-teens hair...).

Wearable is FINE.

Something something perfect is the enemy of perfectly adequate, right? :D

I was having the same thoughts the other day about how I used to just power through a project and get it done in no time, with lots of very late nights fueled by energy drinks. I think if I tried that these days I might literally explode. lol

xD I know exactly what you mean! I have to walk that every fine line between being motivated by a looming deadline and just...cutting it too close. It's funny because I still tend toward a later bedtime if left to my own devices, but only because I'm reading or something else low-impact, I really can't do anything that requires much processing power past 11pm!

We're getting elderly. ;)
