ysobelleI have come to the conclusion that I know too many fascinating and attractive men.
I'm not sure if this is a problem or not, actually.
I also have a big design and construction project in front of me now, and I'm rather eager to start it. Silk velvet, my G-d. Some people get off on fast cars or kick-ass computers, but me, no. It's silk chiffon and velvet. I spent hours last night on a costume resource site, poring over obsessive photos of necklines and seams and armsceyes and pattern roughs and godets. Thank G-d there are people out there worse than I am. No, not worse-- just more willing to get out there and take dozens of photos at a costume exhibition, or hunt out movie and publicity stills, then post them and dissect them.
Work is...well, I enjoy it, but I'm relying on it less. I need to get a website in order-- mine is nice, but it's not bringing me business. I need to hook up with Jay and get my sewing house in order. SOON. My rent ain't paying itself. I wouldn't mind the store staying this tenuous and flexible if I were making more money. I 'm a bit tired of told how fabulous I am, and then being told there are no more hours to give me. Were I making more of the potential inherent in the corsets I love so, I wouldn't be so...tense.
I hear the ocean at the base of my skull and in my ribs again. Things are turning, Spring is coming.
