Under Pressure<\/b>
\n(…and the song now gets stuck in your head – sorry…)<\/p>\n
Between working long hours, trying to make progress on my master’s project, and creating two christening gowns, I’m not finding much time for sleep – or anything else… I’m headed to Boston for a week in, oh, about 44 hours, and I realized I have no clean clothes, nor any idea what I’ve got to pack. This is a problem…<\/p>\n
I was so distracted last night while I was working on the gowns, I sewed one piece on inside-out. I discovered this after I had trimmed the seam allowances… I somehow managed to salvage both pieces even though I had to rip out a seam – no small feat when you’re working with fabric as flimsy as organdy! Unfortunately, taking one stitch out at a time involved 25 minutes of holding my breath and praying frantically that nothing would rip. Argh. On the positive side, I now know that the seams my sewing machine sews are very<\/i> strong. <\/p>\n
The master’s project is going nowhere at the moment. I knew I was getting into a gray area when I decided to write it for os X, but this is getting ridiculous. Every time I try to do something it’s like pulling teeth to get it to work. I finally gave up at midnight last night when I had searched the entire<\/i> internet trying to find someone who had gotten ImageMagick working for os X… It sounds like people have, so I haven’t lost all hope, but they didn’t bother posting the magic incantations required. Maybe I should call Miss Cleo – I might have more luck. :)<\/p>\n
…And speaking of songs getting stuck in your head, why is it that people say things like “guess what song I’ve had stuck in my head for days?” and then start singing it for you? Thanks. Now it’s stuck in my head, too…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
