rhienellethI'm trying to take this corrupted Word doc thing in stride.If it had to happen, better now than a few thousand words down the road, right? Except that's not exactly true, because a few thousand words down the road, I'd've grown a damn brain and backed it up.
*breathes*
Okay, I'm just going to move along to other topics now. I don't need to spend my Friday dwelling on the negative. *sigh* I'm going to attempt to start the book again today.
Last night I worked on my sister's corset for the Halloween masquerade we're going to. I can't remember if I've talked about it here or not (other than my costume, which I have quite a bit lately), but she's going as a dove. I'm making her an overbust Victorian corset out of this AMAZING jacquard - I stupidly did not take pictures, but it has a pattern in ivory and gold and white that looks a little bit like feathers. It's gorgeous and perfect, and we'll be adding white feathers around the top edge like trim, and her short little sassy skirt will also have feathers, and so will the cap she's getting for her head and the feather fan she'll be holding. I'm making her gauntlets like the ones I wore with my Fairy Fest costume (um, in the black and red), but in the same fabric as her corset with long, gauzy white sleeves that will serve as "wings". I think it will be awesome! And she's got this little waist and a, er, generous bosom - her corset will look stunning.
Anyway, I'm very excited to try it on her to make sure the sizing is right before finishing it. I wish I were not at work today, and could be home, sewing. I want to make my own bias tape for this one, which will be new territory for me. Alas, I am here, instead.
Also, that AAA white topaz I ordered came in. Here are several pic of it, gleaming in the sunlight:
