First of all, my biggest beef with this WP layout was that paragraphs weren’t spaced.
I finally fixed that! I rd CSS gud.
Also, thanks to my friend (I was trying to think of a better term, and that led me to the book Sisters, Long Ago which I LOVED as a kid [ANCIENT EGYPT!!!!], but anyway) cavalaxis emailed me that her comment was spam-filtered! I took care of that, so people should be able to comment on the wordpress blog properly.
Haven’t seen a way to fix what she was really emailing me about, which was:
Sorry, but your comment has been flagged by the spam filter running on this blog: this might be an error, in which case all apologies. Your comment will be presented to the blog admin who will be able to restore it immediately. You may want to contact the blog admin via e-mail to notify him.
The nerve. And I can’t find the way to change that! Must.. hunt.. through.. php.. files!

So as usual I think about all sorts of things to blog about, but then never actually write them down.. but work is slow and I just checked my RSS feeds, and CRAFT magazine posted another pattern from burdastyle.com and OH MY GOD I think I’ve hated every single thing I’ve seen posted.
First of all, they all look terrible in my eyes and require a lot of gathering and just drape about some stick-figure’s body like a freakin’ burka. I’m not a huge person - I am properly shaped, just with some added padding - but I seriously doubt that I could wear any of the designs on that website without some pretty significant alteration. Curves, people! Curves!
Okay, I take that back. I’d wear this coat, but in red. And without the shoulder things. And smaller pockets (or maybe ones that aren’t placed directly on my ample hips?), yes, let’s add huge square pockets on the outside of the coat at the widest part of our bodies, hmmm?
hmmph.
