My brain is a scattered mess today

Last night children were playing in the street. I'm not sure what they were playing, but one of them screamed quite loudly and clearly, "I'm the Grim Reaper!!!" Perhaps there is hope for the future generation after all.

I went to bed kinda early. Wasn't feeling well. My dog went into mommy mode and kept licking me and crawling close to me to cheer me up. She's a good dog.

Last night I finished my bodice top. It looks pretty good I think. I'm a little concerned with how the bottom part lays against my body. There's no boning there, so that one doesn't get stabbed sitting down, but that also makes it kinda flimsy looking if you are paying attention. I guess the average person wouldn't notice, but I do. *shrugs*

This morning I started on jess' skirt. Got the front panels together and the back panels together. All have been pressed. Now I need to attempt the ever so fun task of adding a zipper.... I hate those things.

Seriously, I need to invest in a zipper foot one day. Installing them the hard way is going to drive me crazy.

Then I need to make my brother's renfaire garb. Not sure what I'm going to do after that. Either a similar bodice with chinese character fabric, a dice skirt/dress, dice pants, or chemise for renfaire. *shrugs* Too may projects. Not enough time or money....

I am the box ghost!

I am losing my mind from boredom.

This morning I assembled as many parts as I could to jess' skirt. Now I jsut need her for one more fitting, before I put the zipper in and hem it all.

I let myself get distracted by a cute show called Danny Phantom. It's about a boy who has ghost powers. And he uses them to capture other ghosts. It's pretty funny. It knows not to take itself seriously at all. And it has phrases like, "goth-bird of happiness." :P

After that I started cutting out the pattern for my brother's garb. I ahve decided that I don't like men's patterns. Too many weird pieces. Plus, because my brother is HUGE, I ahve to make everything bigger than shown. Very tedious.

I tried to take a nap, but my mind was running way too fast and I couldn't get comfortable. I couldn't fall asleep at all. I have a lot on my mind right now.

Just a little while ago, I gave all the dogs baths. Splash was the worst--jumping out of the tub every time I turned my head. Punkin was the best, if only because as soon as I brought her near the tub her body went rigid. It's easy to wash a dog too frightened to squirm away. Nugget was the dirtiest. She washed off dark brown. And that was before the soap. As for noname...she was just noname. She hates the bath, lets me know she does, but puts up with it cause she thinks the part where I dry her off is a game.

I don't know what to do with myself now...

I miss ben. He's been gone allllllllllllllllllllll day.
