It was pretty foggy this morning when Miss A. picked me up and we headed south, but the sun soon came out and it was a lovely drive through near-peak fall color.
But we spent the day indoors, getting our sewing inspiration tanks filled up by Louise Cutting. I came home with about 4 1/2 pages of notes, a booklet and a pattern. I browsed the fabrics that Louise brought, thoroughly enjoyed petting all that lovely stuff, but ultimately did not purchase any. There were lovely tropical wools; but I have several pieces of lovely tropical wool already in the stash so I really couldn't justify getting any more. Most of the fabrics were in a warmish color range, and since my personal color palette runs to the cool side I wasn't tempted by them. But there were nonetheless a couple of pieces that were very tempting...if I hadn't already been over 100 yards fabric in for the year, I'd've probably given in to temptation. But I decided to come home and sew up one of my tropical wools into something this week in honor of the seminar.
Not exactly sure *when* that will happen, but I'm gonna try...I've got to take the fabric I swatched yesterday up to the, um, fabric storage zone so perhaps I will pull out a piece of wool and bring it down...hm...I *do* have an extra hour tonight, don't I? ;-)
I too am getting some middle age spread and it doesnt feel good when you can feel that roll of fat in the middle. good luck.
