Hit the road, Jack!

Some days are easier than others. They go by in a numb stupor. Others, like the past couple of days, are hard. They are the days when you can't stop thinking about what you had and what you are losing. Cause the thing that hurts the most is the future you thought you'd have but that is never going to happen.

I managed to find some light in this gloomy day, however. I saw a street band playing "Hit the Road Jack" in the city. They were these four middle-aged, foreign men, who were happily playing next to the railway station. And when I walked by, I just had to smile. I should have given them a coin or two for making my day.

I haven't had the time to sew anything new yet, because I've been working the past couple of days. No, nothing real, just a job that will pay my bills while I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life. I also feel like I'm getting a cold... So I haven't been that productive.

Therefore, I'll just post a picture of something I made years ago for a 20s speakeasy party. I'm really proud of this dress: it's the first major sewing work I've ever finished and probably the most complicated one as well. I rarely use ready-made patterns, and this one was no exception.
