So, it's nice when you make friends with local vendors for things. I hit up a specialty shop today for the dirndl blouse fabric (this place doesn't have much fabric, as they specialize in other accessories), and got to chatting with the owner of the shop... something we do every time I'm in there. After my purchase, she showed me some traditional dirndl buttons... hand made... they had red. I said I'd come back and get the larger red ones after the next paycheck... she just tossed the whole lot of them (13... really only need 5) into my bag. No one buys them... they get ignored. I may go back and buy more of them after the next paycheck... someone I know called them something else and now the word escapes me... but they'll be perfect to go on the traditional dirndl I'm also making. I know it isn't furry stuff, but hey... it's still sewing.

Oh, if anyone local to the PDX area knows of a -local- place to get fosshape 300, let me know... please. I have yet to find an online shop that has a decent price on it AND decent shipping. Everyone wants to gouge you for that stuff... one way or another. Well, pardon me for not being rich. I'm trying to make the lion head not too disproportionate for my body... I find it difficult to do that with foam. But maybe someone can prove me wrong. The bodysuit will be close fitting to me, so the head shouldn't be too much bigger than my own head already is.

Okay... this kitty is tuckered out...
