Dressmaking

Hi...?

Hello...?

Compliments...?


Sincerely, i dont know how to start this post, all i just wanna say is, i have missed you all...i miss the net like crazy....i miss blogsville, most especially.

Well, i havent deliberately kept away from this ville, i have just been busy, yea, really busy....for a good cause though. Ofcourse, i know i should have stopped by to drop a line or two for you all to know i am still alive, just didnt know how to go about dropping a line...(grinning).

I resigned from my last employment.

It just wasnt challenging anymore... i felt enclosed in a cage where i couldnt move, freely. I needed space. I craved for a situation where things could be done differently. I actually longed for an environment where i could solely develope a project and watch it grow. I simply wasnt getting any kick out of it all.

At the beginning, it was fun. I was involved with things i had only learnt theoretically in school, so it was pure excitement. But as time went by, i realised i had to wake up in the morning, dress modestly ( i mean corporately) and report to an office where i had to do the same things over and over again. I am just not cut out for monotonous activities, not at all.

Although resigning has restricted my access to the internet, i still look forward to moments like now that i can get in touch with you all.

So, I am jobless and penniless.... ehn?

What will i do with this endless time on my hands?

Interestingly, i have gotten myself hooked with something that is more challenging, more frustrating if i dont get it right, more exciting, more tiring, more time consuming and more creative.

I am into dressmaking.

Yea, you read right.

I started learning the profession second week of january and as of the moment this post is being composed, i have a chic gown - laid on my bed cos its like a prized trophy- made by moi! I designed a gown, cut it then put the pieces together and i made me a lovely gown.

I am so thrilled with my accomplishment. My mistress was and is still filled with pride at my progress. I am still dazed that i could really do what i did in just 4 weeks! So, bloggers, start sending your measurements so i can practise with your fabrics LOL!

Well, i have to rest my needle pinched fingers for tonight.

I dont know when next i'll post to this blog. I dont know when next i'll read from you all. But much that i know is that, you all are in my thoughts, daily. Stuff pops into my head and am like - i need to post this on blogsville- then i realise i am seated in front of a sewing machine with a measuring tape around my neck, a pencil behind my ear and i laugh and at times, i sob at that other life that i so much long for but has to be on hold in order to fulfil another life that is so much in need... wierd right?

Lotsa luv!
