mellymell: (wedding gown)
That was the funniest part of last Sunday's new episode. And you guys are keeping me uber busy! I've had to go back like 4 or 5 pages of entries just to catch up on the weekend.

Armband pics and other stuff )

Well, I got an armband almost finished this weekend for the wedding gown. . .

. . . but at the expense of a friend's wedding, an Aquarius party, seeing my best friend for the first time in over a month, and a beautiful weekend of weather perfectly suitable for hiking and other miscellaneous outdoor activities (i.e. getting off my ass for the first time since I threw my back out in September).

I'm afraid to leave the house for fear of not getting stuff done (and then there's that interaction with humans thing). The few times I DO want to leave the house, I'm held in by. . . "circumstances beyond my control". *sigh*

The above pictured armband is only awaiting a bead order to finish it up. I've got some 3mm Swarovski crystal beads on the way to outline the larger teardrop beads to make "leaves". A little something I noticed while counting up the flower clusters to see how many more of those beads I'll need, there are 5 leaves/scrolls and 13 flower clusters. Our wedding date is 5/13. I subconsciously coded our wedding date into the embellishments for my gown, heh. In the time that I wait for more beading and embroidery supplies to finish this and keep going with the others, I'll be working more on the gown mockup trying to get it finished before the beading stuff arrives. Still fiddling with the bodice fitting, but I'm close on it.

Otherwise, I guess I'll start working on getting some of these accessories ordered that we've been contemplating. I have it on my mental calendar to go to All Needz this Saturday to take care of rentals. We looked at clear plastic plates when we were at Costco over the weekend, and found out that for 5 cents more per plate, we could rent china that we wouldn't have to wash or dispose. I need to get back to working on the ceremony, too. Time to start making lists and learning to juggle.

I tried to buy some new pants this morning, since all of my old ones are falling off me for some reason (no exercise, no significant change in diet, yet I'm losing weight. . . should I be happy or worried?). Unfortunately, for some reason Delia's isn't accepting my card, even though I've used it with them before. They're saying it failed address verification. I haven't moved. Haven't changed anything since my last order. Even went to my bank account and copied the exact address (taking out punctuation and what not) and it still doesn't work. Wrote them an email to find out what the fuck they want from me (retinal scan perhaps?). I tried Alloy too, but since they're the same company, of course I failed their address validation as well. Where else can I find low rise, slightly flared cords with 34" inseams?
