I’ve been lazy lately.  Rather, distracted.  By a few things…  :)  

I played a gig at Mohegan Sun last night, which required a lot of prep.  Now that the gig’s out of the way I can go back to some of my other interests.  A bunch of new items were added to my shop tonight.  I’ve gotten the ball rolling on scheduling my next voice lesson.  (I’m really missing jazz lately! I need it as an antidote to the pop music I’ve been singing recently.  Ick.)  And I *do* intend to wrap up Project Replica soon!  Plus, I’ve had this French film sitting on my dvd player for three weeks.  It’s starting to collect dust.  

Expect new pix of the dress soon.  I *will* have it finished sooooon!  (It’s getting embarrassing how many times I’ve promised that and failed to delivery.  >:-/ )

It’s been a week and a half since I’ve done any work on Project Replica.  And I am ashamed.  In my defense, I’ve been very busy otherwise.  Plus, it had been even longer since I had added anything new to my LonesomeBrown shop, even though I have a stack of clothes that have been laundered and photographed and are ready to list.  So, after finishing my Anita Shreve novel (omg, The Last Time They Met was soooo good!) in my yard (while being attacked by bugs who thought my eyelid was tasty), I spent this evening adding a few more things to my etsy shop in hopes that customers will be drawn in, items will be sold, and I’ll get rid of some of the clutter in my house!  (Long sentence, I know.)  Anyway, rest assured I *will* work on the rockabilly striped dress this weekend even if I have to chain myself to the sewing machine.  My goal is to do little bits at a time.  Slow and steady wins the race.  But I have just under 4 weeks to meet my deadline.  Yikes! C’mon guys - start rooting for me!
