Well, now, sewing projects seem to be my latest drive.  I was hoping to finish off the sleeves of a Gothic Fitted Gown for this weekend, but that didn't work out so well.  Trying to cut and drape the pattern pieces of a sleeve on yourself is just a bit difficult.  I will be wearing half sleeves on Sunday.

The other is a Victorian pattern for a short cape.  I found some wonderful purple silk for the lining and now I'm looking for the black wool I need for the outside.  I have until the first weekend in December for that one.  The pattern is simple enough, so it won't take long to put together once I have the fabric.

Creative things are good!

My self destructive side...I am not getting the exercise I need and it's a major struggle to stick to healthy eating habits.  I know I've gained weight and I hate it.  I hate the fact that I live in a day-to-day battle with my own body.  It's been that way my whole life, and I'm really tired of it.
