Ya'd think the Universe is trying to tell me something or something...

Taurus: Just because your fantasies aren't real doesn't mean that they can't affect your real life. Sometimes, your subconscious needs you to draw a map for it to follow. Get detailed about what you see -- from the clothes on your back to the car you drive, imagine exactly what you want. Visualizing your life down the road is an excellent way to give yourself a goal to work toward. Try to have a more futuristic focus right now, and stop worrying so much about mistakes from your past.

I want that house in Southern VA that is a replica of the Williamsburg Governor's Mansion that is situated right on the James River.....and a panthor in purple for the car...and really just a nice red and black two way (either silk or cotton) Oxford button down shirt...with black buttons.

Sewing Mishaps and Server errors

Work was just made of fail today. Actually, can we just rewind this week so far? Starting about eh, 1 pm Sunday? Not that anything bad happened today, just not good.

You see, I was running late this morning, which was okay, until I got to the Metro. I got a parking space. I walked all the way from the very back of the parking lot to the entrance for the trains (for those not in the area, think of your favorite amusement park's parking lot). I waved my little card, got in through the gate, walked up the stairs and saw....that my partlet had fallen out of the sewing purse. Yes, the Eleanor of Toledo partlet fell out somewhere along my route to the trains. Not fun.

So, I walked all the way back to the car, looking the entire way and praying, ended up going up the wrong aisle, found my truck, looked inside and...nothing. Started to walk back hoping someone turned it in when, there it was, right in the middle of the road just lying there. I grabbed it and it's fine. No one ran over it or at least it doesn't look like it. So, I worked on it a bit on the train and made sure it stayed in the sewing purse when I was walking up to my office.

On the sewing front: Mom's Florentine is now a Venetian (1530's). She wanted a front lacing bodice, which is easy for either depending on the time period. Since she liked the kirtle so much, I decided to go with a straight front, rather than curved front, for the bodice of the dress. This makes it more in line with the Venetian look around the 1530's. I'm also doing a pleated skirt now rather than the gored one (it's easier for one thing). It is out of mint green silk dupioni, which should work. I might add some nice, simple, gold trim, a la this dress just because it looks nice. Image that dress with this dress' lines and you get a good idea of what I'm making.

That's just...weird. Cool, but weird. Awesome debut album title...

I thought some of you might also enjoy this in regards to music:

Isabella D'Angelo's Station

That's my launchcast station. I finally get it at work again and I can listen to that rather than whatever the heck is on the radio in the office over. My tastes aren't the least bit eclectic are they? No, of course not.

Yes, I've been sewing. Mom's Italian gown will be done tomorrow. I'm not doing sleeves for it simply because it is going to be a summer gown.
