a change of plans
Today has gone… well unexpectedly. I started cutting out the Bee dress this morning but that quickly became a discouraging thing when I realized I was a full 6” short on the front embroidery. That would take me a good 8 hours to do (oh why did I do that stitch!!). I don’t have 8 hours to spare with everything else I have to do! *moans*
So I took a break and went to Hancocks, innocently enough, for some twill tape. I was in line to check out when B and I starting looking through some fabric displayed nearby. Then I saw it… the perfect fabric for a Regency ball gown. In fact the perfect fabric to go with my bee robe. As B put it when we told the story to Mom, something clicked.
The grand result was I bought some and have spent the last hour cutting it out to wear at CC instead of the embroidered silk. You guys are going to FLIP OUT when you see it. B says I should keep it secret (no pics!) and she is usually right so I guess I shall. *smiles evilly* I should add that I got a great deal on it, thanks to a 40% off coupon.
I will finish the yellow embroidered silk gown (I need it for a RCHS event in Sep) but this gives me a chance to 1) finish the 6” on the front and 2) actually do the other embroidery on the sleeves and neckline that I’d given up on because of the CC deadline. I’ll be much better pleased with the result I’m sure and will be a lot less stressed come Tuesday night.
Less stress is always a good thing. :>
