Well that oughta show you, waking mind
Last night I dreamed how to draft a pattern piece for a shirt I've been thinking about making. The weird part is, a) I remember it and b) the diagram that my dreaming self drew, with notes about where to take measurements, is actually useful and accurate. Usually when I have these "Oh, THAT'S the solution!" dreams they are nonsense, like writing a Pulitzer-prize winning poem that goes
Have you
forgotten
your pudding?
It's chocolate and it's
behind
the divan.
or something, or I just wake up with the feeling that I've solved all my problems but it's lost to sleep. This time, it was like my subconscious rolled its eyes, said "oh come ON, this is easy, let's just do this so we can move on to something else, GOD," and got the job done. Poor subconscious. I guess I should get that shirt made so it can go back to fantastic voyages and/or insanely complicated errands.
I'd like to point out, however, that the skirt I was making to go with the shirt was hideous. Hi. de. ous. Multiple strips of raw-edged, acid-washed denim? Floor-length tulip skirt? I THINK NOT.

Hot
I feel exactly like a steamed dumpling. It is not very nice. Even though I have been at work for a couple of hours, in the air conditioning (and believe me when I tell you that the air conditioning was the ONLY reason I was able to haul my soggy bones to work this morning), I still feel like a sad leftover steamed dumpling that someone tossed in the fridge. Oh free me from my waxy takeout container and end this misery.
