holytoastrBen did that studying thing again last night. I occupied myself with more sewing. I finished the skirt I was working on, I think. I'm still not satisfied with it completely, but ben says it looks cute. It's a little circle skirt (think magical girl, but a bit longer) with lace along the edges and lacey fabric over the whole thing like a curtain to there's an upside down "V" in the front. (Wow, I am terrible at describing things.)
Now I'm working on a wrap skirt from absolutely horrible fabric. I may end up trying to sell that skirt. I'm sure it'll fit someone's taste.
After this skirt is done, I think I'm going to switch to shirts for a bit. I want to reduce my gigantic mountain of fabric. I feel overwhelmed by the piles and piles of it. If I can just get it all to fit in one box, I'll be one step closer to a clean sewing room and then I can get some real stuff done.
So, now the giant elephant in the room...What were you doing a year ago today? I was glued to a tv, worrying about all my friends. Of course, at this point I had no clue what was going to happen. I was reasonably confident things would be fine, as they always were. It wouldn't be until the next morning that I found out the bad news about the levees.

Current mood: worried
The Super Dome broke. *blinks* That's the evacuation center for the hurricane.
I was told that the Super Dome was designed to withstand a catagory 4 hurricane. But the roof opened up. You have no idea how upset this is all making me.
Harry Potter, you're the only I know who was left in the city. Please let me know you are ok.
[EDIT] I just saw this amazing video on the path of the storm. New Orleans has a miracle. (It seems like that city always does.) They did not get hit with the worst of the storm. :)
The right of the eye is supposed to be the strongest part of a hurricane. That part was heading dead straight on a path for new orleans. But some time last night, it make a quick dash to the right. New Orleans got hit with the less dangerous left side of the storm.
That's not to say they didn't get hit bad. But it's not as bad as it could have been. That city's got some really good kharma.
Oh and the storm is now catagory 3. Yay! :) It's slowing down!
