I went down or I guess it would be up, to the LA fabric district today. Its only the second time I have been there to shop for fabric, and I still find the place slightly overwhelming. Last time it was an overly pushy salesperson and this time it was a man wanting change and giving me a rose and... I am still not sure exactly all that happened/was said but it made me very uncomfortable. I was successful in finding fabrics though. Two for my souper sekrit project and two BEAUTIFUL shot silk taffetas for a Renaissance corset. I have decided I want a pair of Dorothea like stays to wear under the Elizabethean version of the Autumn dress and I want them super purrrrrrty! I would take a picture but I am sure it won't come out on my camera and it being a shot I think only in person will it truely be appreciated. I was able to get a steal on one of the secret projects fabrics. I still felt a wee bit guilty because lets face it I am poor, BUTat a $7 discount it really is a great deal. Hubby isn't mad so I am feeling less guilty now. :)
Of course as soon as I got home Kit sensed the fabric and had to crawl in the bag before I had even finished putting everything down. Strange fabric whore of a cat. Fortunatly the one that his white fur would really cling to and show up on was in its own bag tied up so he wasn't in direct contact to it.
In other news I really hate the new medicine the doc put me on. Since I started it I have just been light headed and slightly headachy. While out today I was feeling that way and it just got worse so that by the time we were driving home I would almost sware I had a migrane. I completely crashed out when I got home. I woke up about 3 and half hours later and the headache was still full fledged. Hubby forced me to take some excedrin, which I was weary of taking because I don't know how it would react with the meds. I think it helped because headache is now a dull roar. I hate this new med!

I have a lot to update on but in all honesty I don't want to right now. Quick sum up is my brothers came up last weekend. We went out to Rock Bottom Brewery and the Zoo. Otherwise we just drank and talked.
This week has just been sort of bleh for me but I am still plugging away at Christmas gifts. Right now my focus is on a TMNT blanket for my bro. Today I went to my first black Friday with Avien and Ryhnn. I loved the Jo-Anns shopping! I got lots of flannel for PJs. A couple for me, one for my hubby, two for a friend, one more that maybe for me maybe for my future sister-in-law, and one for my brother. So it seems I will be working on Christmas presents for awhile. I also picked up some plastic boning to start working up the mock up for a corset. I think this will be my secret project. Well secret to everyone but Avien. She already knows it. :)
And what is the secret project for, you ask? COSTUME COLLEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!! *squeeeeeeee* I got my acceptance letter today. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No one else has commented on it on my friend's list but I am excited about it. So after Christmas sewing is done I will commence to go crazy on the Autumn dress. That thing REALLLY needs to be finished already. And then the secret project. If for some reason I actually finish both of those up before CC I will start on some other fun little project. I just know me and know how slow of a sewer I am, so I am not making big plans. If I do that and don't get them done I will be disappointed and that will take away from my CC happiness.

 Today has been a total waste so far, for sewing but I think my body needed  a break. I went to bible study in the morning and came home and slept. I woke up about 45 mins ago and have done a little more packing. Went through my beads and picked out which ones I might use for the steampunk accesories, Henry and my new plan for my third day costume. I guess that will have to be a secret for everyone but Avien simply because I am not sure if it will get done. I was also able to find some scrap pieces of the Regency dress to test tension on so thats one more thing off my list. Always a good thing! So I guess if I get no more sewing done today I took two things off my list.... SO many more to go.
