First Post!

I have so much free time (well, compared to previously—I'm not exactly acting as the vegetable on the couch)! To prevent myself from going crazy, I've been reading tons of blogs. Initially, most of them were artsy/food/life blogs. My selection then narrowed and escalated into a singular focus of me exclusively reading sewing blogs—TONS of sewing blogs. Which explains why my clothing sewing count now has risen to two completed tops and one coat in-progress. (I'll post those another time.) Additionally, the to-do list consists of one Vogue dress, one military-style dress, one Grecian-style dress, and one coat for the upcoming, much upcoming winter (hmm, I wonder the sudden predilection for a bunch of dresses?). The to-do list is shown below:




All of these accumulated in the past two months. The previous count—or rather, the non-existent count—was zero. Am I crazy? Yes, probably, because it seems that instead of detoxing from the stress of the previous semester, I've been heaping the stress upon myself with all of the seams that I've had to rip out from sewing the wrong sides of pieces together sequentially not once, twice, but thrice times.

While it seems that all I'll be talking about on here is sewing, sewing, and more sewing, I figure that my frantic spurts of sewing will taper off at times to allow and, probably more truthfully, to require other topics and endeavors to take over for that time being. Additionally, this summer promises to be a fairly exciting one; and with going off to college in the fall and knowing that I probably won't have time to update everybody about to my life in between getting to know my classmates, homework, eating, homework, exercising to keep off the threatened “Freshmen 15”, homework, something might give. Just a bit. But since a visual aspect can be factored in (granted, Skype allows one to do show-and-tell quite well...), you slightly seem to get the better end of the deal.
