well that just doesn't suit my plans
Sep. 13th, 2008 03:28 pmI wanted to make the trumpet skirt for my swan costume today, but my trumpet skirt pattern is nowhere to be found. At least, not in any of the places where I would have thought I might have put it, like say with other patterns or with belly dance books or even in the plastic bin that contains all my skirts. Feh. Guess I'm ordering another one. I remember there was a lot of math involved and so do not feel comfortable just experimenting.
Instead I am working on the bra, which is coming along well. It somehow hadn't occurred to me that black feathers do not show up that well on black fabric, so I'm debating whether I should use some other color. Maybe I'll just do a single layer of another color of feather, pale silver if I can find or manufacture it, between the black feathers and the black fabric to make them pop out a little more. I could always hit the black feathers with some glitter spray too.
Had a very informative discussion with my massage therapist this morning about trigger points for some of my various aches. I'm looking forward to seeing if this new knowledge is helpful; the bottom end of my sartorius muscle is keeping me from doing much level changing in my dancing at the moments.
Pretty sure Sisiutl needs to go back on antibiotics again. If she could get them via injection I swear it would be easier to drive to the vet's twice a day than to try to make her ingest something she does not wish to ingest :-/ Somebody needs to manufacture little ferret straitjackets.
