Incapable of Decisions…

Planning Embellishment Placement

It could just be an excuse for procrastination and ennui, but I am not in a frame of mind to decisions it seems. So, dear readers I am seeking input!

My own funky skirt is a dark brown corduroy cut on the bias with a mostly rusty orange color paisley with a hint of a bright olive green. However, I have sat with the paisley designed and the fabrics chosen for closing in on a week now without actually cutting out the pieces and ironing them to the skirt. Why? I’m unsure how to orient it. So, please check out the options above (you can click on it to see it at Flickr as well), only a few of the many permutations I’m sure, and vote for your preferred method. Feel free to add comments to the post explaining/selling your opinion on the matter.

In case you are wondering, the scale should be about right. The skirt is A-line and reaches to just below my knee (similar to the shorter skirts in the photo shoot for Friday’s post). The paisley design nearly fills a sheet of paper. There will be some crazy quilt inspired embroidery around each of the three fabrics to hold them in place as well as make the paisley seem more paisley.

As an update, it is just past midnight and this will post in the morning automagically. But, I went to bed about 10:40 or so and laid awake for an hour. It was likely somewhat caused by reading creativity stimulating material right before laying down. So, I got up and heated up some milk with a touch of vanilla as well as a rice sock. I’m hoping warming myself up and curling up with a fiction book not about highly creative individuals will get me ready for sleep. I am giving myself an hour and then I shall try to fall asleep again and see what happens. No television. No creative books like knitting stitch dictionaries or embroidery books. I’m hoping it works and I’m hoping not waiting until I have to stumble to bed will allow me to try get myself back onto a more normal schedule. As it was, I went to sleep at nearly 7am and slept right through water aerobics yesterday. I can’t have that happen again!
