surveying the wreckage

[wendyzski]

• There are bits of trimmed velvet all over my apartment.


• There are pins in the sofa.


• I am missing several layers of skin on my right middle finger. I really need to learn to use a thimble one of these years.


• There is wet trim on my radiator. (I need to pre-shrink it, so I dipped it in boiling water and am letting it dry. Yes I have pictures of "trimmy soup")


• There are little red fuzzies all over the place, and EVERYTHING is covered in a fine red dust from serging velvet. I even sneeze funny colors.

In other words, my gown is almost done. Pouffy-sleeve-caps tomorrow.
