Note to self, re: sequins.

Next time I have a need for flat, not utterly cheap and crappy looking sequins, remind me to not waste my time looking in craft and sewing stores locally and just order them from Cartwright's. Luckily I found a sequin trim for $.99/yd that I can cut apart. It's just a single row of sequins strung together like a chain with some heavy grey thread. The lady who cut it for me asked what I planned to do with it and I replied, "well, since no one seems to sell loose flat sequins, I had to be resourceful."

I'll also admit to spending some time on the trim aisle while at Joann's with the thought that there could possibly be a beaded trim I could use instead and give up on the embroidery for now. But I'm not a quitter! (i.e. I didn't find anything.)

Need to go run so I can get to all that cutting today.

heh, that gem was brought to you by the inevitable influence on me from your own sense of humor.

Thanks! I really do appreciate the encouragement. It keeps me going when I start thinking, "damn it, I'm going to kill myself trying to get this done, why don't I just give up."
