I'm starting a project. Something for me to work on. Something to do when I'm not "just being a nurse." Which is how I feel lately. I'm just a nurse. I'm an optimist dreamer turned cynic. The optimist is in there somewhere, its in my constitution, its what drives me. I'm no longer in touch with it though. The cynicism prevails. I don't know what dreams I have any more. I don't know what to do next. So while I'm figuring it out, I'm making a dress. Not just any dress but a dress of elizabethean grandeur. To change my focus from something that doesn't involve IV needles, Intoxicated Persons detention act, Psychotic episodes, Trauma, power struggles. Just me and my project.
So far I bought a pattern that resembles the dress. I will have to make a number of free hand changes, we'll see how this bodes for a non-seamstress. I wish myself God speed. I hope I can finish this....
My Goal is to have this dress completed by next Halloween. October 31, 2011.
