Alright Oregon.  You can stop being confused about the time of year it is and get on with being fall now.  Here's the fabric: Akk, I know those are blurry. It was dark in the house when I took them D:

I went to Fabric Depot today and ALLL fabric was 40% off.  I managed to escape with some canvas interfacing for my stays and my splurge of a yard of silk/cotton voile.  It's so SHEER!  Plus, I only spent $12 (Kippy through the SHEER!)

Fabric Depot is having a storewide 40% off sale... ending on Saturday. Oh, why can't tomorrow be payday?!  I'll probably take a trip down there tomorrow anyway to start seeing what fabric is around for the costume.  I'm thinking a striped fabric for the petticoat and a solid for the jacket.  We'll see what's there. I'm almost done with the sleeves on the old linen chemise.     

I went to Fabric Depot today! I got lost several times but once I got there- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Let me explain. The store is the size of the Target in Eureka. Seriously. I don't know what the square...by it all, I walked out without buying anything! Next payday, I'm definitley going back! Ah yes, this is why I moved here. Now I just need to find some sewing and history nerd friends! :

It's been a complicated week or so. Studying has taken up a lot of time--it doesn't look like I've really been studying with various anime playing in the background, but it's getting done. It'll be wonderful...the last one was so much fun); belly dancing, I found a course starting next month at the U; and then there are birthday presents to be purchased for the parties... It shouldn't be too bad, I think.

I can't believe it's almost fall already. Even though it was 90 degrees out today it still felt like fall... not really summer anymore. I guess it's inevitable. Summers sure are short up here.... But I.... it'll have to be speedy but considering the sorry shape I've let myself get into starting off slow is probably a good idea. On that note, I think I try to get a good nights rest... so signing off

I had a good weekend with the kiddlet. She was pretty dang cute and easy going except for Sunday afternoon when I decided for some reason to give her juice (we don't really allow her much sugar at all...being so good... =) Anyway DH is all fidgety waiting for me to finish this post so he can show me a gazillion motorcycle pictures from this weekend now that he's back... Short and sweet tonight
