Yikes

Note to self: don't drink diet coke as a substitute for real food when you are hungry. Because then your body is short-term tricked into thinking it got some food... and when it finds out about 45 minutes later that it did not, it's one hell of a sugar crash.

I was working on a paper version of the pattern for my Nefertiti hat; which I got done except for the top part, but I was trying to fit it on my head and my stupid hair was getting in the way and I was getting aggravated with it and then all of a sudden I was just DONE. I felt like three-year-olds must feel right before they have a meltdown. So I went downstairs and scarfed some pulled pork rib meat cold from the fridge, waited 20 minutes and then I made myself 1.5 grilled cheese sandwiches with wheat bread and pickles. Feeling a little less loopy right now. Hopefully I'll rally. I want to get the hat cut out with flooring, make a top, and figure out how big to make the snake sculpture on it, and maybe figure out the gold headband.

Tomorrow I have to go to JoAnn's and get boning and a zipper for the bodice. I ordered some coverbuttons in two different sizes (3/4 inch and 7/8 inch) to try for the studs on the bodice. I got a "guide" fabric the other day that had 1/2 inch squares on it to use as a placement (on the underside) for the bodice but I think those are going to be too small, so tomorrow maybe I'll look for a better pattern. Or make one myself.

But anyway, progress! I may have most of a hat before tomorrow afternoon. :D
