1. Huh. Two days off my feet, and they're not swollen. Who knew? *sigh* I'm gonna be walking on balloons again by the time I get home, though.
2. Two days off because my semi-annual BART perk: A few days off work, except it's because you're sick as hell. Hooray.
3. I am officially 100% in love with the clothing from Dare to Wear. Their Renaissance top is glorious and I've ordered a second one. The Embrace sweater is the gothiest cardigan ever, and the only thing keeping it from being perfect is a lack of pockets. I think that small side-seam pockets wouldn't mess up the drape overmuch, but?? Well, the pocket thing and can't go in the dryer. Grmph.
4. My next sewing project is a modern interpretation of a 17th c pocket, to be worn over leggings and under pretty gothy tops. I'm thinking a heavy lining fabric so it doesn't have friction issues, and relatively shallow, so it doesn't poke out from underneath. (I want a place to put pens when I'm at work, basically - I'd love it if I could have my phone in there too, but it's too big. And usually plugged in when I'm at work, so *shrug*)
