La la la day

I feel horribly restless with my bum foot. It's healing, albeit slowly, but I still can't get around at the speed and comfort that allows me to go to the music building or library or gym. So today I drove to the library again to xerox diagrams for my book, and then tried to freehand a dress out of paper I had joomchi-ed. It was very clear from the start that that tactic would not work, so I went off to browse patterns at a really lovely local fabric store.

So lovely, in fact, that of course I could NOT come away without scraps of dupioni silk.

I thought my galavanting for day was over, but then I got an email from my old cranio-sacral therapist, who recommended Traumeel for my foot. That gave me yet another excuse to take the car for a spin. This time I took Vagner, and after we tried out all the creams at Whole Foods, we visited the co-op just to take a peek, and ended with iced tea and coffee at the cafe next door.

I figured that after screwing around all day, I HAD to get this paper dress done today. Thank goodness the woman at the fabric store found me a super simple pattern. This isn't meant to be worn (and I can't fit into it; too small in the hips, plus paper has no give so the hand-sewn seams would burst). It's just a canvas for more paper goodies.

Though of course I will be reluctant to see my vision through because it is so satisfying like this! But there's more paper where that came from, so I can always make more.
