auntiemeeshProgress report for Friday, August 28
I'm too tired for specific bullet points tonight. But. I've got the facing hemmed and sewed to the front of the bodice, and pinned all along the arm and neck seams. This was not without its own difficulties. I sewed the facing to the bodice on both sides and only realized I had it all twisted up when I went to iron the seams down. Had to rip one side out and redo it. But tomorrow morning I'll be all ready to sew the facing into place. And then there will only be one or two more steps before the bodice is finished. Then on to the skirt, which I (perhaps very optimistically) think will go quickly. And then I have to attempt to put the two together, and hope they fit. *crosses fingers*
Today was long. It started early, with meetings from 8:30 until noon. And then moved on to housekeeping type stuff, trying to get all our toys and furniture washed, etc. Cleaning days are usually at least a little bit fun. We turn on the radio and entertain each other with nonsense as we work. But today, the other two women I was working with had both retreated behind their iPods, leaving us all in our own little bubbles. Not as much fun, I have to say. I think on Monday I'm going to institute a 'no iPods' rule.
After work some of us went out to get a bite to eat at Eat-n-Park. Not exactly the most exciting place, but it was, as always, fun to see people away from work. And I got all caught up on the lastest juicy gossip. Excellent.
