Triumph and defeat

[helblonde]

I went to Thai Silks at lunch to see whether they had the taffeta they were out of last time and to see whether they had the dupioni that shutt3rg33k needs.

I won on the taffeta, and found another that might do as well, but they have changed their lavender dupioni to a new, bluer shade. Boo. They do have the perfect shade in charmeuse, but with the rest of the accents in dupioni that just won't do. We will have to sneak some from her skirt to make our fix. It means that the fabric will be an exact match, but we'll have to muck with the underskirt, which wasn't in the plan. Oh well.

The real winner was finding undyed silk herringbone marked half off. Yes, I got all of it. I'm thinking that since we're getting a new washer on Saturday, a couple of dye jobs in the old one won't hurt. We aren't using it for laundry since we don't have a dryer. Lemons ==> lemonade.

Bummer! If only I still had all the remnants! I still need to find the silk ribbon. Are we still on or should we wait while I try to get together everything I need?

I think we should skip Thursday so I can rest and try very hard to not be sick. How about starting Sunday or next week? We can certainly get a start on the main bits before you find the ribbon.

You might try the embroidery ribbon at Joann's if you don't have time to go to Lacis. Also, do you have any more of those beads?

Thanks! We're set with the essentials until the weekend. If the W&D don't get delivered on time, I'll be calling, tho'!

No, she and I made special arrangements. Unfortunately, I have trouble coaching more than one person and getting my own stuff done.

Will you get to Monday night sewing?

I hope to!! Then again, my life has been one large mass of fu lately. :-/

I think I can find the beads. Of course, I went looking for cobalt blue silk ribbon online, and look what I found:

AMG! It is perfect, is it not? I have the velvet. Want to teach me how to make a hat? *big cheesy grin*
