Sew n Sew

I'm sewing new bellydancing pants for myself & my friend Nissa today. We have a "thing" to go to on Saturday. For some reason it is NOT going well. I think it's the fabric I'm using; it's kind of weird, with gold metal things sewn into the fabric, and it's hard to work with. So I'm getting really cranky. It might just be one of those things, like some days you are clumsy and weird about things you normally can do just fine. I've made several pairs of these pants in the past with no problems and today things are just going wrong-- easy things, like thread issues. ::sigh:: I've also made a couple of annoying mistakes; things that if you do yourself, you just go "oh well." But if you were to buy something this way, you'd be mad. So Nissa, just love me anyway. :)

In a comment, Terry said he was much more a "dog person" than a cat person cause cats are snooty & independent.

I know everyone says this, but my cat is different.

She's not at all snooty & too independent. Yes, she's okay spending time by herself and doesn't need attention all the time, but she comes running when we come home (after a sufficient gap to make sure it's us and not the boogeyman before she pops out from whatever thing she's under cause she's a scaredeycat.) She's very talkative-- will gab your ear off while you're feeding her, or if you say "hey, Tituba, what'd you do today." Seriously. She talks back (sure, it's meowing, but it's friendly and sounds like a conversation.) She's also not generally snooty-- she's very sweet. I think most cats are snooty & not friendly because that's the way their owners treat them. I had a room mate in college whose cat was more a stereotypical cat, and it was mostly because she had gotten the cat at the same time she got a dog and paid more attention to the dog.

Anyway. Slight diversion cause I needed a break from sewing the pants from hell.
