Winging it.

I'm sitting waaaaaaaaaay out in my backyard on my hammock while the kids play. I can't believe it's taken me all summer long to discover that my wireless capacities stretch clear out here.

We're still wrapping our minds around the whole job gone wonky situation. He's still employed and may not even be at risk - but it's a scary gamble. So, we're making peace with our options. Outcome: to be determined. :)

I've been meaning to finish these wings for awhile now. Another one of those weird little ideas I seemed inclined to want to make.



A Fairy Wings Prototype: They are actually quite complicated with layers of mesh encasing a layer of fabric, embellished by a fancier iredescent pink middle. Next time, I need to choose louder colors. I sewed it all with some fancy metallic thread, which didn't show for crap so I jazzed them up with some red stitching. They have elastic bands that the arms slide through.

Clearly, she's thrilled.
