The dress was being coy at breakfast; but after an invigorating press, it's in a much better mood. I have hemmed it, re-did the bodice sides for the 2 to the 10th power times and left the straps for later.
The point of this blog is to announce, I have marked all the positions for eyelets and I have POKED THE FIRST HOLE. I think the dress and I know each other well enough by now. We're ready to take this relationship to a new level.
Eyelets are holes in the bodice, used to guide the lacing. My dress will lace on the sides, close to the back. Most dresses have grommets. I am going to make mine by hand. I am going to spiral lace instead of the common X's. It's more 'period' and I want to learn something new.
So I'm feeling up to the task. now if i can just STAY on it. I've been reading alot about ADD. It explains alot about me. I think much of my anxiety is linked to it. Most people say I'm scatterbrained or immature, not in a really bad way, some people DO like me. Perhaps, I'm a high maintenence, small dose friend. Perhaps, many of you are ADD as well and don't mind the behavior. Perhaps, I'm talking out my....what?.....what did you say dress?....okay, i'll be right there. ...It's the old ball and chain....I gotta go.
