I see my endocrinologist again tomorrow, and I'm kinda nervous/anxious about it, so I've been trying to distract myself with other things. I'm not expecting anything bad, but my history with doctor appointments is soooo craptastic...
Anyhow.
I've been pondering making a split skirt for a Steampunk outfit. I really don't wanna do the ;Steampunk equals wearing stockings and garters out where everyone can see them'. This IS Texas, and my skin color is more suited to living closer to the artic circle than the equator, so I want a split skirt. I've been looking at the TV and Folkwear patterns, but I don't have experience with either line, so I have no clue which is better/easier/etc. But I'm not sure how strictly I'll follow the assembly instructions. Hell - the only reason for thinking I need a pattern is because I've never seen a pattern layout. I may not even need one. But I don't have the online costuming community and its resources anymore, so...I'm looking at patterns. I'm not very enthused about browns, so I'm thinking grey instead. But hey - I can still change my mind.
This weekend was very nice. I got a chance to be more social, and that was a change I needed desperately. I still need solitude, but now I'm getting way too much of it.
Anyhow.
