Not much to update on

Work has been complete hell this week, so I've been trying to take it kind of easy at home. Almost got the dishes caught up and have vowed to never allow Chris to do dishes again. They either a) never get clean on the first run through or b) are consistently put away in totally wrong places. Yeah, I'm nit-picky, but I hate trying to find things. I also hate realizing something's in the dishwasher, only to open it and notice everything has been crammed in and nothing is clean. *sigh* You'd think I'd be used to it after 5 years. ;]

I have worked some on the Dream gown this week. Mostly 30 minutes here or there. Not much to report, and I'm sad that it's taking me so long for such a simple dress. I guess I really am taking my time at it though. I'm just ready to move on to the next thing I guess. So looking forward to that Blood Red gown next!! Hoping to at least get to start on the mockup before we leave for the west.

Chris will have to work some this weekend, he's way behind on a project that should have been done for work. He's taking the same kind of attitude I'm taking with my dress I think. Then there were two programmers who switched from Windows to Linux during this project, and Chris, being one of only two Linux users here (the other being on vacation at the time), was bombarded by questions from these guys. Puts a big kink in projects when you have to spend a week helping people set up their boxes.

Anyway, he gets to work from home, incidently in the same room where I'll be working on my gown (our office/hobby room). So we'll be productive and get to spend quality time together this weekend (heh, as if we spend so many hours apart, he works across the room from me at both work and home).

yeah, I love it! I saw it at www.pyramidcollection.com, but they want $80 for a polyester version!! I'm making it in silk/rayon velvet and silk jacquard for under $40. I've gotten all sorts of ideas for everyday clothes for me from that place. Just gotta force myself to put them together.

I tried to make myself regular clothes...drastic results! Never again. I can make any of Arwen's dresses, or Legolas' complete outfit...but a simple skirt? Nope, I always screw it up!
