so I've been sleeping and sewing.

I finished the choreography for my advanced class and ran through it with them on Wednesday - now we have 3 more weeks to polish.

The sewing project.... I decided to try again with the halter style bra- replacing the neck strap with elastic. Covered it over with this cool random grey&black burn out fabric - over a black base bra. Looks pretty decent. Love the line of the open back - HATE the pressure on the neck.   I also made a matching little skirt/swish - I don't know why I do that with the neck strap.  Sure it looks cool but - Couldn't wear it for any length of time.  I am going to leave it as is - since it is more or less finished.  It needs a jewel or dangly bit in the centre but... I can't decide on a teardrop rhinestone or a former silver earring.  When completed it will be a good outfit for dress up teaching nights.

I've also been watching videos - Sarah Skinner's veil - picked up some useful stuff I want to try.
2/3rds of Secrets of the Stage 2,  don't know that it is really as useful to me as #1 was.
2/3rds of Belladonna's Sword.  Cool - but it makes me want a gorgeous new sword rather than the skinny short one I borrowed from my mentor.

I'm still sleeping a lot.  but I don't have the stomach pains/intestinal distress that seems to be going along with it for other people.  I can handle sleeping too much.   Going to send DH off to work and see if I can catch another hour or two of ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ's

I really  need to stay out of fabric stores.

I bought the burgundy stretch knit that I went in for - some STUNNING Red Bridal satin - just loved the colour.  (perfect with my red & black veil) and some adorable purple polka dot chiffon - it was just too cute to leave behind.  I'm thinking an overskirt to go with the purple pants/top etc.  Perfect for children's parties (for the under 7 crowd.)  Plus I needed elastic and ribbon. (sigh)

Must stay out of fabric stores.
