always the bride

I’ve been a bride. I’ve never been a bridesmaid, for a variety of reasons, all of which likely stem from the fact that I am not a friendly person a lot of the time. But that did not stop me today in the Salvation Army from buying an Alfred Angelo pumpkin coloured bridesmaids’ dress! The bodice is too small for me, but the skirt fits, so I’m going to buy a co-ordinating tank top and make a maxi dress by sewing the skirt to the tank top and then being awesome.

And, being awesome, I finally started proof-reading my faerie story. Yes, the one I said I’d do in December. And previous to that November. And previous to that last summer. I wrote a synopsis to stick to and I’m going to stick to that until I realise that I’d rather not and I’ll go off and do something else instead. Likely soon since I worked for ninety minutes on it today and managed to proof-read only three and a half pages because there is so much that is wrong.

I also got a seventies tablecloth to make into a skirt at the Salvation Army. I will focus on this rather than proof-reading.
