This will be a combination post of today and yesterday! I was going to write in here yesterday but I forgot.
-I got some new little belts! The waistline on the dress I sewed is kind of wonky
maybe one day I'll fix it but not today so it looks better when I wear it with a belt, lol. My old belt was falling apart though so I'm glad I was able to find a new one! I got a cute one from Wal-Mart that has little flowers on it that have a sparkly outline? Its really pretty. It came in a bundle with a brown belt and a black belt which I think will look cute with some other dresses I have/are planning to make!
-I also got some little sewing notions like a brown zipper for when I make my fall-coloured dress and then these little clips which I think will be helpful when I'm hemming because pinning hems almost always results in me jabbing myself with the pins!! I've seen them at Michaels but Michaels wanted Too Much Money for them. Maybe the Michaels ones are better quality but I'm doubtful... so I'm happy with what I got! I need to pick up some mock-up fabric (see: a bedsheet from the thriftstore, lol) before I actually start sewing with my good fabric though because I want to try a new bodice type and potentially a new skirt. Maybe just a quarter circle skirt instead of a full one.
-I made a hair appointment!
The last time I got my haircut was March of 2019, the year before covid hit. Luckily I do like my hair long and I don't dye it or anything so it's not been a disaster not getting it done
but I am excited to get some length cut off! I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to get in until August but the hair place had an opening a few weeks from now! I'll be going some place new so I am a little nervous but my pre-covid cut was... not very good lol which is why I put off getting it cut for so long. Hopefully this new place is better.
-My dad went to his physio today. He was saying he wasn't going to go a few days ago when he was really sore from not having his painkillers but luckily with that sorted out he felt well enough to go today. The physiotherapist said that they don't think he'll need surgery and he should heal up just fine as long as he keeps with his exercises which is good! Here's to hoping he actually rests his arm and follows the directions. I think he will, if only because his physiotherapist is a man. Love my dad to pieces but when
I told him to rest his shoulder he didn't listen. When our
doctor told him to rest his shoulder he promptly came home and started cutting down tree branches. After his physio appointment today though? "Doctor said I have to rest my arm!" ksdkdhgkjgdh. He can be so frustrating sometimes but hopefully he gets better soon.
