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

Yay, good luck for costuming! But yes, trick your body and it'll trick you right back =P

Ohh, glad you're doing better. Yes, liquids (especially 'diet liquids') are not a good substitute for actual sustenance. O_o

*hugs you*

Oh gosh, and you're getting even less sugar with diet coke.

Well, most three year olds might've just gone and destroyed th hat in frustration so at least you avoided that part of the meltdown. But still, hooray progress!
