Wow. (repeatedly)

I had an amazing weekend. Any weekend that is made up of all four of my top priorities has got to be fabulous. I started on construction for the grey rose (underwear) corset Friday, and went contra dancing in the evening. Saturday I had really delightful Scott time, worked on the corset, and then had fabulous Jim time. And Sunday I worked on the corset more. Scott, Jim, dancing, and sewing. What could be better?

Actually, I know the answer to that...I finished the corset Sunday night. Yes, start to finish in one weekend, taking about 20 hours - more than half of that was on Sunday. It looks...just incredible. First time on it cinched more than 4" without effort. I had intended it to be curvy, but I didn't think it would be THAT curvy. There are a couple of places where it could have used more boning, but that's a lesson for the next one. I intend to bring you pictures tonight. I, at least, am very impressed. ^_^

I rocked my weekend.

Applause! That corset, even in the unassembled state, was lovely. I can't wait to see it on you! (Tomorrow?)

Anytime you feel that you would like to make a corset for someone else, let me know. I'd love one!
(I would pay you for it of course- or we could barter- artwork for wearable art.)

I'm way not ready for that yet...thanks for your confidence in me though. I can recommend some excellence professional corsetierres though, namely the ladies at corset_shoppe.

Wow, I'd love to see it.
Do you want to come and visit anytime soon? we could do sewing, or whatever, or just hang out. :)

Hm...I've got a backpacking trip planned for this weekend through Tuesday, which I may get back from early. I'm not thinking much past that right now, but if I do happen to be back on Tuesday I'll drop you a line.
