Tips

I had a long email exchange with a customer support person from the place I purchased my henna and indigo. She thought perhaps my biggest problem was the shampoo bar I purchased from them. Since I wash my hair so rarely, the emollients in the bar might be too much for a pre-henna treatment for me. She suggested dish washing liquid or a baking soda scrub right before henna. Like right before, so the scalp oils have no time to recondition my hair. I spent some time browsing their help forum, too, and ( I learned several things )

Not hair-color related: I have another head cold. Great. I'm downing the zinc and Emergen-C.

Tonight is my acupuncture appointment. Great!

I finished the gold choli and will cut out the black one tonight. Thank you to roya_spirit for finding me some black panne velvet in her stash. And continued thanks to solan_t for use of the serger. You have no idea how much you've helped my life with the extended loan. Especially since I'm making last minute dance costume stuff because of this wretched and unexpectedly cold weather. A high of 50 degrees and chance of showers on Sunday? Really? Really? I'm considering walking home today at lunchtime just to get thirty minutes of sewing-related stuff done. That's what it's coming to, people. Ugh.



Fifty? Showers?

Update: WTF. Hives? SRSLY? What now...

Accomplished!

A ginormous thank you to mckitterick who came to get me on the scooter and brought me back up to campus! I got so much more done than I would have if I'd had to walk home and back. The black choli is cut, and one and a half sides are sewn together. Now I just need to attach the sleeve and underarm gusset on the remaining side, then do the binding and ties. Yay!
