Yes, I've come down with a wicked cold, though it could be worse (like actual flu). Having an overabundance of sleep seems to help, though, and happily I've been able to get a nice overabundance of sleep - I skipped my three-hour seminar this afternoon to nap. Am so done feeling guilty for skipping class, 'specially when I'm sick.

Time's really gotten away from me, in sewing terms. *is cranky* I've only gotten a teensy amount of beading done on the Black Diamonds corset, and I seriously doubt I'm going to have time to put any beads on the tails at all. Boo. At least they do have the sequins on, so they won't be completely nekkid, and will be wearable. (Hell, I wore this two years ago when all it had were the sequins and rhinestones on the corset, so I shouldn't be so worried.) Really, I just need to track down a hat...

As for the Tudor gown, I'm not even going to bother bringing it up here, unless I suddenly find myself with an abundance of free time. Weighs a ton, and I haven't even sewn the giant furry sleeves on yet. Lugging that beast around is more trouble than it's worth. I think I'll just blissfully ignore it for a while, and hope I can knock most of it out on a sewing marathon weekend, when I'm home for fall break.

ugh i know exactly how you feel about sewing and school... i really want to sew, but i'm either too busy or the things i need (like crinolines) are at home!

i'm sorry you're sick! that's a big fear of mine, getting sick at school, so i'm being extremely careful!!

Thanks; being sick at school does suck, but I've never gotten really sick...I hope you don't, either! A cold sucks, but only really knocks me out for a couple days; something like 'flu could really put a dent in my education! ;)

And isn't needing to get some sewing done at school such a pain?! It's funny, because it's not really "need," it's just something I love to spend time doing...stupid Real Life, getting in the way all the time!
