The shopping portion of the day is successfully accomplished. I made it out to the grocery store bright and early, got food, carried it all home without undue complaint from my shoulder (yay!).

I also wanted to get out to Jo-Ann's and Walmart to buy a sewing machine and pick up some more bits needed for my costume, but a) the Jo-Ann's and the Walmart are not really near each other, or b) close enough to bus stops for the lugging of heavy purchases. Luckily, everybody is online these days. I bought a Brother 25-stitch XL2600i sewing machine. This seemed to be the best compromise between bare bones and super fancy. I'm guessing it will be good for what I need.

Then on to Jo-Ann's, where I got 5 yrds of muslin, twill tape and fiber fill. Everything should arrive within the next week to ten days and then I can at least start on the shift and bum roll. I'll still need to make at least one more trip to Jo-Ann's in the flesh, in order to buy all the many things I still need for the corset and dress, but I feel like I'm making progress, at least. There's nothing quite as frustrating as deciding on a project and then not being able to start on it.
