I've finally been able to watch the second and third series of Downton Abbey. Well, second and episodes 1-7 of series three. As I type, I'm waiting as the eighth episode buffers right before the slutty flapper cousin or whatever gets caught in the club. Goddamn it!!
Since I am a regular user of the internet, I already knew/know the spoilers for the two seasons, but whatever. I'm solidly here for Dame Maggie Smith and the hats.
I started a new stuffie today, the first time I've worked on them in almost two weeks. With the back and forth between the last place I nearly interviewed with (they called to schedule an interview for a day I was working, so they said they'd call back to schedule something the following Monday- I never heard from them), and the stress of my... interesting living situation, I haven't been feeling it lately. I'm running terribly low on felt, which is limiting my options and ideas, so once payday rolls around I'll pick some more up and hope that I can get back into the swing of things. Thank god my hobby's materials are only $0.33 a sheet!
Speaking of expensive hobbies, I'm still itching to get sewing again, specifically clothes. SPECIFICALLY specifically costumes, but one step at a time. I need disposable income and time for that to happen, and while I've got one, I certainly don't have the other. I've got a Simplicity reproduction pattern I'm dying to make but no fabric. It's not that I have no fabric, I actually have a ton. But genius me used to just buy half a yard of the fabrics I liked, so now I'm saddled with two tubs of fabric I can't make shit out of. What was I thinking?! Anyway, I've been following lots of awesome costuming blogs and pinterests, and I'm not sure if it's helping me live vicariously through them, or just making it worse.
