Well, I took the plunge, err, lastnight I guess and started cutting out the pieces for my pants, then this morning started sewing them together. It took nearly all day, but I now have a rather nice pair of very wide leg, haha, stylish, pants. I still need to hem the leg portion, but I’m a bit too tired to do that at this point, so I’ll just tackle that in the morning; it’ll be super simply compared to the whole zipper, button hole, pocket insanity. I’ll post a photo then too of course.

I don’t remember if I posted about getting the set of 48 prismacolor pencils the other day or not, but I got those and tonight I finally got a set of 24 prismacolor markers. I’ve been wanting those markers for as long as I can remember; with the 40% off coupon for A.C. Moore they were almost affordable, lol.

A whole day of sewing, but most of it was fetching materials and planning, but completely worth it because I now have two pillow cases that are just awesome, lol.

My psuedo-quilted pillow cases, wheee!

I’m going to make a duvet cover of the same general design eventually… but first I guess I’m going to attempt making a pair of pants.

I had a dream this morning involving davey… there was a lot of randomness, but I remember being with someone that I guess we both knew. It was in a parking lot, out in this sort of ‘dead’ shopping center. I saw davey walking by, between these parked cars, I guess me and this other guy were leaning up against on, sitting… I guess the other guy called to him and he sort of stopped for a moment until he saw me, then started walking again… avoidance. I remember reaching out my hand… I’m not sure what the point of it was, but he moved just far enough away at that moment to be out of reach… and then he turned around and kept walking… I remember feeling so silly when I asked him if he and I could talk… he never even replied.

I went out and bought a bunch of fabric the day before yesterday for my “quilt” (which is more just blocks of different colour fabric sewn together) and a whole bunch of fabric to attempt making a pair of pants. I’m hoping I’m skilled enough to actually finish them with success, but the sum of the fabric was only ten dollars so if they bomb I’m not out too much. It’s a bit of an adventure, but I’m looking forward to it. If I am successful I’ll have saved quite a bit of money and ultimately in the future much more… two or so pairs of pants will have paid for the sewing machine.

Err… and lastnight my mom wanted to go to this store in frederick… which is across from the resturant that davey and I ate at… and the benches that I gave him his “tangible” ie, permanent, birthday presents, well, that’s right there…. so it was a bit strange, kind of painful in a way… I’m not quite sure how to describe it. Sort of a permanent feeling of heavy heart, but I got over it… as much as can be expected. It’s been so long, it’s strange to me that I’m still so affected… at least internally.
