I'm taking the morning off from exercising. My arms are still killing me from the past two days. I'm taking today as a "healing" day. Well, maybe I'll try some light exercise later in the day... I don't know yet. Once Steve gets home from work I'm going to need to walk over to the store, so maybe I'll count the walk as today's workout....

YAY! I ended up getting all the cutting for the gown done last night. I cheated a little bit... I only cut one back skirt piece and just made it wider then what it was supposed to be. I may have to trim it a little more to reduce the waist size a little more, but it should work.
I did a little exercise again...

w00t for cheating at sewing! 
I be it's going to come out just beautifully! Bollywood definitely takes some strong arms to do - but it's good that you're having fun and have goals. My 'office' has become 'storage' pretty much, so no workout space for me.

the exercise thing sounds interesting!
I tried to get started on the second gown last night. I had one HUGE problem with that though... Silly little me forgot to take measurements of the child I'm making the gown for!! I ended up only being able to cut one thing... the sleeves. I now have 3 days to cut the whole gown (minus a could little pieces I have cut for...

definitely a juggling act.

i'm not sure yet. i'm bummed.
I'm not getting too much done so far today either. I'm going to need to work on getting the gown cut today, though. I'm going to have the girls clear the livingroom floor so I have room to do it. I'm going to need to get to Walmart, though to get more thread... I'm almost out from the first gown.

Wow - you are an amazing seamstress. That dress is gorgeous. I cannot wait to see the fruits of your labor - no matter how long it takes. 
The ways that people can be petty are simply gross. Thank goodness people can also be wonderful and amazing. It is a nice counter balance. It sounds like your ex stood up for your children and does right by them. That is great.
Wishing you the easiest resolution to all thorny things!

Love the dresswork! You are very multi-talented, aren't you?
And doesn't your daughter look just like you? She's a peach!

And not just feedback, but also really great advice!!! Maybe we can work out a trade - belt for body goods? 
I'm going to try to get a pic of one of the belts being worn... maybe that will help?
It's just amazing - it's like, on FB, I have all my friends - but my family, too, but even so, nobody really gets things like they do here - I can really just be me. I think I'll be sticking around for a long time!

Not too much going on really. I took the day off. I'm hoping to start getting things done again tomorrow... The clock is ticking and I have 6 days to get it done. ("It" being making a gown and doing finial alterations to the other.)...

Oh, those are so so pretty! You sound like a busy creator bee. Sending you so much good energy!
bittersweetdream:
Oooh! VERY pretty! And dramatic, too!
I was just told to find this. It's a cmmercial for the company my (ex) hubby works for. He's the one in the hat! HEHEHE! My kids thought it was the funniest thing seeing "daddy" on youtube.

Out of 15 volunteers only 3 showed, but we'll finish it this Monday.
Bolder creek is a nice little mountain town... If you're ever in the SF bay area, let me know.

Yeah, I'm still behind. I'm slowly working on catching up. I really need to be able to start crossing things off my list.

It sounds like you are getting quite a bit accomplished!! Go Wyoh!! You seem like someone who has quite a bit of energy and uses it in productive ways. Yay!

The more I resist linear time the more it tries to do indelicate things with my person. Time keeps happening whether I have time for it or not. We can start a mutual follow through society, eh?
I'm working on getting things together. I have 54 of 80 pages finished for the November Culture Asylum magazine. It will be available for sale online probably before it gets to the printer. You can find it at the Culture Asylum E-Store along with the back issues.
I have a few other things I wanted to get done today. I was going to work...

Are any of your products natural enough to eat?
Well, I wouldn't eat them, but several ingredients I use are of food quality. Cocoa butter, almond oil, grapeseed oil, honey...the sugar I use for sugar scrubs...
Many essential oils are safe fr the skin, but not for consumption, though... I don't recommend anyone eat them
I just got the next stage of Culture Asylum working. We will now be selling not only glossy print issues, but also selling PDFs online. (What would this magazine do without me? No design, nothing online... sigh)
September's issue was my favorite! We had a pretty model for the cover and a great photographer. If you like unusual, underground, counter-culture kind of stuff, you should...

Ok, I didn't get nearly the amount done today that I was hoping to. I ended up doing some more work on NaturalBohemian, though. I still have a little bit of time today and am hoping that I can get at least a little more done after Fringe is over.

you are SO right! i do have to do it - for my brain as well as my heart. next week i shall set a goal for going at least thrice. i work all weekend, so the weekends are out.
a sale is a sale! congrats! energize sounds suuuuuuper yummy. question: are these the kind of products where the scent lingers all day, or mostly just in the bath?

Today was "school day". I haven't gotten anything done today except two assignments for my English class. I'm so glad to have them done. Granted, one is only a rough draft of the project, but it was an assignment in and of itself. I have never written and deleted so much in my life... and it was only a 450-500 word essay. I spent more...
