This actually makes me feel better. There are things I can do that will result in beauty added to the world. And using the stuff I already have downstairs is good. And making plans for the near future makes my jerkbrain quiet down on some of the most destructive things. It's the same reason I bought stuff on eBay when I was in grad school and things in my head were really bad - I can't kill myself today, since I'm expecting a package next Tuesday. I need to stick around until then to pick it up. It's why now I buy more books and music than I could possibly ever listen to and why I buy more craft supplies than I'll ever use. I don't have a good cutoff to say No to myself for these things.
But, I don't need to order any new fabric right now, seeing as how I have quite a list in various stages of Done. I like skirts. I like dresses. I like making things for Emi. I like making things for family. I like my serger.
- Summer dresses for Emi and Sophia - All sewn, just need some sparkly trim topstitched to the neckline.
- Ivory pencil skirt - Need to cut side panel overlays from stretch lace. Then serge together.
- Ivory A-line skirt for Emi - Need to cut an overlay from stretch lace. Then serge and elastic.

- I have one more Girl Charlee package on the way. It contains material for a sekret project and a maxi skirt. I'm excited!
