Good Night

[blodeuedd]

Arg, I need to get to bed soon, as I'm really tired and I have to get up early, but I'm totally into the designing groove now and am busy draping another dress. I want to at least finish cutting tonight so I can assemble it tomorrow!

Jamie's going to help me take pictures of the completed dress, since I totally suck at taking pictures of myself, so you should see it soon. ^_^

Wow, I feel silly for not having sewn in so long. On the other hand, ballet class a pris le bord this week... -__-;;; Though to be honest, that's partly a money issue. I finished my last dance card last time I went, so I need to buy a new one. And without the "I'll have wasted money if I don't go to class" impetus, the fact that I just paid my lease renewal* is making me think I should be saving even more than usual so I have plenty in China.

The "Wheee! I can make my own clothes!" high is triply gratifying because I'm a) using up fabric and notions that were bought a while ago and were just sitting there not being useful; b) I'm not spending any extra money; c) I'm bored of my wardrobe and this way I'm not tempted to go and look in the shops. Because we all know how that ends! ^_^v

* This means that June's rent is twice the usual, and about 2/3 of my paycheque. Ouch. And yeah, I'm good for another two years here. Will write more about that soon, as well as other related stuff.

You should commission stuff. Remember the vest you made me for Oliver? I'd LOVE one of those to wear, like, normally. Cept not green. XD;;;

ooh I can't wait to see what you made~
and I wish shipping wouldn't be such a pain because there's so much leftover fabric here at my place because my mother never really sews anymore... and uh... tons and tons of old clothes (some hand-sown by my aunt who's a seamstress...? or was...nowadays she's making those paper things you use if you want to cut out pieces of fabric according to some shape for a garment you want to sow...have no clue what it's called in english...^^;)

I can't do crafts to save my life ~_~
(but I can cook pretty well if I can say that of myself~)

Aw, I thought the colour looked good on you!

It would be too much trouble, I think. Plus, I'm not fast enough to make it worth doing for the amount of money people would be willing to pay. If it's for me, it's no problem, or as a gift for a friend, or as a volunteer project, but I don't think I'd be much good at doing it for money.

On the other hand, it might force me to get stuff done? XD;

Paper things = patterns ^_^ That's cool, what company does she work for?

I think you can. I can vouch for your pho, at least. :D~~~ Speaking of which, would you be able to send me the recipe? ^_^

The colour was nice, but I just don't think it would be practical to wear out. Because I would totally wear the vest all the time. XD Maybe a different material though would make the difference.

Yeah, I can see that. Really, the amount that people pay for clothes now, and the amount it actually costs to get stuff commissioned... People either need to be super generous, or you take a big pay cut to make it look worth it.

ah yeah... XD
uh...somewhere in australia? I have no clue
she's gone on baby-break because of my baby cousin :3


haha yay~
uh...I can ask my mother?
I never really cook by recipe...
I know the herb dosage stuff but I'd have to re-check the meat weight :3

I'm also going to translate the recipe for "nikuman" for a friend soon (into english from vietnamese) so if you want that too~? :3
