Fate

Is it really fate that’s conspiring against me or just a bad run of luck?  Since I don’t believe in either let’s just go with being sick.  Ugh.

I’ve been working on the over-gown for my kirtle but at a snail’s pace because that gets thrown in with working on my daughter’s Halloween costume.  That costume was almost finished when I got slammed with the plague, or cooties, or something.  Who the hell knows but I’ve been pretty bad off for about 5 days now.  I went to the doctor yesterday and got a lot of great meds, came home and slept for 12 hours.  No kidding.  Twelve hours.  Now I’m up and creeping about and drafting the third take on this over-gown with plans to re-do the zipper on the sweetie’s costume tonight.

In a weird way, I’m sort of glad I was forced to slow down.  It’s made me seriously examine the pattern I’ve drafted and tweak the heck out of it.  I really want it to work so that I’m not constantly revising the stupid thing.  I hate when that happens.

So, I’m going to copy the latest revisions and cut another toile.  Hopefully this will be the last one before I cut it out of the real fabric.  Keep your fingers crossed!  After that I should probably lie down.  😉  Since I don’t have any pictures of projects, I’ll leave you with a cute picture of one of my dogs.  Enjoy!

This is Penny.  She’s full of win.
