Another good weekend for me, although I stood in front of my booth on Sunday morning, looked out across the faire grounds, and counted fifteen patrons. I think we had a grand total of perhaps 60 at Finale-- by which time, of course, it was raining miserably. But I got two orders, about which I'm quite thrilled.

One of them, howe'er, is going to be quite the challenge. The young woman measures 30-22.5-29. Honest to G-d. I laced her into the smallest corset I have, and it wasn't nearly small enough. And it's a five-lacing. And she wants buckles down the front. This should be fun.

Tomorrow, I take my Aunt shopping. Wednesday, I look for apartments. Thursday and Friday I know I have something. Oh-- Friday I'm taking Shawn to get his car, poor boy. And somewhere in there, I have two corsets to finish. And fabric to bring home-- as soon as I get some payments coming in.

At the other end of th spectrum, though, an old friend sent me a photo of us from many moons ago. All I can think of when I see it is, "Oh, G-d, how much less did I weigh then?" Not a happy thought in the least. I wish food didn't argue with me so.

Yay for orders - but OMFG, that's tiny. I have a bodice in my queue that is bust 30/waist 25, and I thought *that* was teeny.

Will there even be any space for fabric after five laces and buckles? Yipes!

Geez - almost sounds like

I'll be there on the 10th, I suspect. And I promise you I wasn't stalking you [from Salon Personals] -- I just noticed the name in someone else's journal.

I will surely stop by if I notice. I'd love to meet you. And I'm glad you didn't ill of me, I could see a universe in which it'd seem creepy.
