sewing plans

I am sitting here feeling generally pleased with life. I think it's a temporary high induced by "Yay, tomorrow is Friday" plus knowing that I get to go fabric-shopping this weekend! Wooohoooo!

Yes, this has to be rationed out. Much like the urge to buy all the clothing ever (especially at the thrift store). But I'm allowed to shop when I have a plan and there are sales.

What plan, I hear you ask? (Okay, not really. But I'm going to tell you anyway.) Look at this blouse. I have been admiring brocade and sari fabrics for years, but I've never had a feasible plan for a garment that I would actually wear. I'd wear a version of this blouse, and I already have that pattern.

Also, I want to make a black skirt, and I need some lace tape to finish the red skirt that's almost done. (Again.)

As for non-sewing stuff:

1) what would happen if Three (D'Anna Biers) met Ten (the Tenth Doctor)? I am wildly curious about your opinion.

2) I love love love "Bright Morning Stars," the new album by the Wailin' Jennys. Three-part harmony by amazingly capable female vocalists!

3) Time to rewatch episode 1.04 of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. My turn to (co-)write a recap this weekend.

I have occasionally wondered about this myself, actually. And I think you and your friend are right, he'd think of her as a threat, but certainly he'd probably fall for her, because in a certain kind of way, she's a lot like River Song, demeanor-wise. D'Anna would be a lot less gooey for him than he would be for her, I THINK, but am not sure about this, given her irrational affection for Gaius Baltar.

Maybe a good model for how he'd treat her is how he treated the Master? Wasn't he proposing at the end to basically keep the Master around and keep an eye on him? I dunno, maybe he was hoping to reform him? Although I think D'Anna would react in just about the same way as the Master did to that idea: O.o?

Fun question to consider. Good luck with the skirt!

Hm. D'Anna pre-boxing might well have managed to capture Ten's (romantic?) interest, but after? I'm not so sure.

*laughs* Yeah, if he did fall for her to that extent, I'm pretty sure she'd be underwhelmed by the attention.
