Lycra

Into sewing these days. Started with a piece of black lycra and had great success, then moved on to sew a skirt and a dress from the fabric left over from sewing the dining chair cushion covers. Again, success.

So went to China town and bought even more fabric. Created a pretty tube dress with silvery flowers and was happy...

Then it all went downhill. Nothing I sewn turned out right. The machine coughs and get stuck every now and then. Cutting 1 size too small. Using remainder cloth to sew together with good piece, think that i must have cut it wrongly, cut it up even further, and then found the correct half behind the sofa.

Getting quite depressed, really.

On the other hand, made 2 pairs of earrings that I'm quite happy with. I think the trick is to switch between the projects to avoid boredom / pick myself out of frustration.

Crossroads

Have to make a major major probably unfavourable decision. Had a prolonged bad dream last night where pals and family came up to me and shake their head and tell me how bad my decision was and all the stuff that I already know.
Too much stress for too long. I'm surprised I'm not getting white hair.
Part of me is quite sure it's bad decision as well. I'm not making it yet, but it's drawing closer to the dateline where I have to do it.
The blog may end up to be my only friend at the end... and maybe the dogs... and yeah, the cats... oh well, maybe not the cats.
