i just added two more kimono patch tops and one kimono compound dress to the etsy shop. apologies to anyone who is interested in the kimono patch top in a larger (or smaller?) size–all three that are currently available are small/mediums. more sizes are on the list! the list is long though.
yesterday i received a new batch of pretty liberty prints: two twills and another jersey. what will i do with that twill?? i also received my elastic order and lo and behold, it was horrible. like, it would stretch out, but it didn’t snap back! i emailed the company and they refunded my account and told me to trash the stuff, so it’s ok. i was worried, not having ordered from this place before, that it would be difficult. but now i need to go back into the garment district and talk to someone about ordering me more of the stuff i’ve been using, which was out last time i went for it. have i mentioned my dislike for the garment district before? it’s not my favorite place. but! i will find that loopy elastic i love so dearly. it will be done.
but first, i’m going to get dressed and go out for lunch.
this whole working from home thing is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but it can be lonely business. especially now that we don’t live where the rest of our friends live. when we first moved to new york i was completely overwhelmed by williamsburg and greenpoint, always feeling on display with all of the cute younguns strolling around, but you get used to those pretty kids and now i miss them! sure they may be quietly assessing your appearance, but at least they keep it to themselves. the new neighborhood, not so much. i mean, sure, i’ve received nothing but “complimentary” assessment, but it isn’t at all welcome. yes, i have a rear end. yes, i’m pregnant. and a woman! wonder of wonders.
may you have a quiet, assessment-free day!

garment district, blah.
also, your comments about williamsburg crack me up! i remember when i first walked around in williamsburg and how freaked out i was. i felt like i was in an alternate universe, where all the aliens were super attractive and superficial. i never really got used to it, so i ended up moving to carol gardens. but i think joe and i will be apartment hunting in williamsburg because he’s going to be working right off the 14th st/union sq station, so we want to be near an L train!
i hear you on how lonely working from home can be. sometimes it’s so isolating.
by the way, you’re so productive! good job on getting all those tops/dresses done.

When I visit Williamsburg I feel like I expend a lot of energy being “on.” I like that I can hang out in my yard in my sweats and robe and talk to a neighbor walking her dog in her pjs. Now that’s the life. Robes.
Gotta love the “complimentary assessment.” That’s a good way to put it, heh.
