Daily Update:
- 10:06 @ajafair Wait, what stupid snake movie has David Hewlett?! I love me some bad action/monster movies, and also eye candy :D #
- 10:07 Hello world. It is ten am and sunny. I think I'll sew. :D #
- 10:09 @freosan Let me know when you are available to be poked for fashion suggestions? #
- 10:11 @ajafair Oh, awesome, I am going to (ahem) acquire that straightaway! Yum~ :D #
- 10:14 @skysailor99 Oh, suck. Seriously, you do not deserve that shit. Even if you don't stay angry, I think that calls for some privilege-revoking #
- 11:46 Ok, Friday's fabric haul: yfrog.com/ht4e4j the herringbone (more dustyblue tho) yfrog.com/0fko4mj #
- 11:48 @freosan and the gold upholstery things yfrog.com/jw4rfj better pictures in a bit #
- 12:02 @freosan Lol. The herringbone will probably be a vest or something, but the golds (or, well, one of them) are for the top is.gd/ay1uE #
- 12:10 @freosan Which one should I use??? Probably going to use one of the golds cuffed in the other, but I'm conflicted. yfrog.com/17o6asj #
- 12:11 @freosan And which sides? Gold or white sides? Sigh. (Could also do self-cuffed, in the reverse...) #
- 12:16 @freosan I know, that's why I'm so torn. I could make both, but only one cuff style... should i just do reverse-side cuffs? #
- 12:19 @freosan (btw, the first pic far left? 6m of 1.5m wide fabric that will become hakama. probably mensstyle, unless you rec a female pattern?) #
- 12:20 @freosan Could try. Would probably just require tugging on the sleeves, lol. Maybe pins if i get frustrated. #
- 12:23 @freosan Nagabakama! Bah, modern style things. (Also, I like the blousing you can do with the long ones. I am strange.) #
- 12:31 @freosan Might do the men's nagabakama anyway, since I've made those twice so far. If I can find my diagrams again. Boo, papers everywhere. #
- 12:36 @freosan More brocade pics. Center is pale sage (2m), then a cool beige-y color (5m) on right: yfrog.com/4rwtxj #
- 12:37 @freosan Was it the anneliese's fibers one? #
- 12:39 @freosan Planning on sage for middle robe cuffs/collar, and bought beige before i came across the actual golds I was looking for. #
- 12:41 @freosan I think I like the gold on gold side of the floral tapestry better. Hmm. #
- 12:42 @freosan I vote for the (probably) period-correct open crotch patterns! Also, am lazy, lol. #
- 12:44 @freosan Is fine, bc I have five meters (and its effing heavy) but not going to use it for Chinese, so. Couture? Have a design in mind? :D #
- 12:48 @freosan Ack ack I am not making something that requires boning. *puts foot down* #
- 12:53 Color palettes, fabric style (stupid blue tones): yfrog.com/2pqp2j yfrog.com/5fqndnj yfrog.com/0mdqrcj #
- 12:54 @freosan Also, I'm not sure its stiff enough for origami. Gold diamond might be :P #
- 12:57 @ajafair Unfortunately, I know people to whom that has happened. Sigh. #
- 12:58 @freosan Oh yeah that stuff. :P (Am still avoiding making the waistbands, btw) #
- 13:56 @ajafair Could always return it and lie. ("But it was a birthday present, and my sister already /has/ this book!") :P #
- 14:50 White cut and pinned, pink body ironed. Hemming green now. #
- 14:51 I need more bobbins. #
- 16:28 White sewn together minus collar and sleeve shaping. Think I'll lay out (cut out?) the gold layers and then get ready for the movies :D #sca #
- 17:00 Off to see if the post office really is open on Sundays, if I have time before I have to catch my train. #
- 17:01 @skysailor99 Sounds like you had fun. *grins* #
- 22:18 HOLMES!!!!!! #
- 22:21 OMG I loved all the characters! And the het pairings! And the woobiness that is Holmes at losing Watson! OT4 Y/Y? I need to see this again. #
- 22:23 Also, they showed the first Iron Man 2 trailer. :D But then Shana said "There's a second one? I haven't seen the first." D: HOW??? #
- 22:25 I was flailing so hard at this movie. (People who have watched superhero movies with me can attest that I do flail, literally. And bounce.) #
- 22:27 Yes, Sherlock Holmes /finally/ came to Japanese movie theaters this week. Am definitely going again, perhaps on Wednesday (Ladies Night). #
- 22:46 Reading: Hero, by Perry Moore. Just picked this up from the post office this evening, and liking it so far. Last book (Beige) was a dud. #
- 22:47 Note to self: get a desk lamp for reading/sewing. #
- 00:03 I could stay up all night reading this. Hmm. #
- 00:05 Fuck, I can't remember what time I have to go in tomorrow. Fuck it, I'm going to the school now to check, then pick up groceries. #
- 03:44 So, apparently I did stay up to read it. Total rec, guys -- if you haven't read Hero (by Perry Moore) yet, you should. Melikes. :D #
- 03:46 It is now 345 am. I have to get up at 1130 for a trial lesson for a 2yr old. This will be fun, i can tell. #
