Score!

[femkes_follies]

I am coming to accept the fact that a fulltime job, two small children, a long commute - and mostly, the raising of a special needs child - will prevent me from realizing a number of ambitions for the immediate future. I lack the time, energy, and ambition:

- to really bother trying to launch a new career designing fabrics or launching a pattern line

- to pursue the skill set necessary for consideration for the Order of the Laurel

- to construct all the projects running around in my head

- to even get my home into the state I'd like it

But every now and then, something DOES go my way. I went to JoAnn's today to get fabric for a corset. I looked at the cotton duck, but it seemed a little coarse and stiff. So I went wandering through the twills. I happended across a bolt of burgundy herrigbone twill of a weight and pattern very similar to corset coutil. It was labeled $6.99/yd, but rang up $2.50. I nearly went for the rest of the bolt. ;-) 100% cotton, even.

Yeah, me. Now to shop for binding, cable ties, and to draft a pattern. ;-)

We are so in the same place! Keep the faith.

Yesterday I read that thinking of oneself in the 3rd person helps with motivation/productivity. As per my last blog, motivation and scrounging time to do stuff are high on my list lately.

Cheers,

Asa/Eve

Yeah, just a little overwhelmed right at the moment. ;-) Feeling pressured from a lot of different places and can't quite figure out how to clone myself. Plus, the batteries are dead on my space-time continuum transmogrifier. o_O

So many projects swirling through my ADD little brain. And so little time!

Thanks for the pep talk. It's always nice to know you're not alone. (There, that was in the 3rd person!!)
