Feeling a bit disjointed and out of sorts lately - lots going through my head so how about a very random blog post? If you're interested read on:
~ Last week I got a random catalog in the mail, don't even remember what company it was. What I do remember is they had Halloween costumes. There was a lovely cape (ala Sherlock Holmes) for $180. I decided I could make it and got McCalls 5764 to do so. Now to find the right fabric.
~ Saturday, I was catching up on blogs and while reading Gertie, came across this post: We Live In Good Body. It really touched a nerve with me. I can't get the ideas and words out of my mind.
~ I spent hours cleaning up the studio and sorting through old magazines this past weekend - now what to do with them? I think I'll probably donate them to the library.
~ There's more, but I'll leave you with that. g
That cape is cute! I made a floor length one a few years back when we went to Renaissance Faire (and it was COLD there - I so needed it!) and have worn it to run out now and again. Sometimes I get really funny looks, but sometimes teen and 20-some girls will come up to me and ask where I got it, because it's cool. Funny what people notice, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteRandom is good Gaylen. Thank you for highlighting Gertie's "Good Body" post. I have been a bit disjointed myself lately and have been just glossing over my blog reading and totally missed the kernel of that post. After re-reading it closer I need to reflect a bit on that myself. And that cape will look fabulous...can't wait to see your progress!
ReplyDeleteLove the style of the cape!
ReplyDeleteI agree, important words in the Good Body post, if only we all kept them a little closer to our hearts. It's too easy to forget.
What they've all said. I liked the post, I'm about there too. Can't sew a lick, but make what you love and wear it with a jaunty step and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWhat sort of fabric are you considering for the cape? I think it'll be neat. I made one similar to it years ago and wore it for a very long time. I don't remember whatever happened to it, but most likely me sister stole it.
ReplyDeleteI think it's a good idea to accept yourself and take good care of the body you have.
Can't wait to see the cape!
ReplyDeleteI'm a bit out of sorts myself. I need the HEAT to go away for a while and I need school to not be kicking my a$$. All in good time. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't read Gertie anymore (that's for an email not a comment) but I'm curious about this one. I might have to check it out.
Love the caplet ~ I hope you find just the right fabric!
ReplyDeleteWhat a strange name for that sock color in your previous post. It's such a practical and wearable color and it looks wonderful in the pattern you chose. Enjoy :)
Speaking of Halloween, the boy informed me he wants to be a mummy and the girl wants to be a witch. At least they're easy this year. lol
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your cape!
