Your Disney love song is If I Never Knew You from
Pocahontas (though it was tragically cut from
the movie). It's a sad song about a love so
strong that it's worth dying for.


What is your Disney Love Song?

I vaguely recall hearing it somewhere. Can't remember where though, and I really do think it got cut...argh. Anyone want to try to find it for me?




I got my blue skirt cut out and pinned together. Used less than 5 yards, which is good. Still have 5 yards left, so if I don't like it I can make the skirt into the shirt and redo the skirt from the remaining 5. Also, the silkessence is rather, erm, thin. I think I'm going to have to wear that white skirt mom bought underneath it as sort of a petticoat, or something. It drapes nicely and all, but it's a tiny bit gauzy. I guess I'll wait to see how it works by itself and then decide.

Didn't get the hobbit bodice muslin-ed today, because I slept most of the afternoon. We went to church and all three of the ladies--mom, Holly, and I--all had some sort of allergic reaction. Our eyes burned, mine so much so that it gave me a headache. It hung on through lunch, so I laid down to see if I could shake it. Got rousted to talk to Terri and Jess on the phone twice, but after that I fell asleep and slept til almost seven. Meep! Anyway, hopefully I can get that mocked-up tomorrow.

For the blouse, I was thinking of ordering Silkconnection.com's cotton gauze. Actually, I wasn't thinking of it before tonight, when I found it. However, I haven't been able to find anything like that in any of our local fabric stores, and I WON'T be able to at least until they start getting summer fabrics in...and maybe not even then. Til I find something or order that stuff from SilkConnection, though, my ren faire blouse will do. It has long sleeves and lacks a gathered neck, but I mean, hobbit lasses have to wear something warm in the winter, don't they? They don't get the cool frock coats that male hobbits do! Shawls work, but I have a decided problem with managing them. They usually end up in the soup, because I am very uncoordinated.

Also, I find question No. 9 on the SilkConnection FAQ page very amusing for some reason.

Oops, I just stumbled across a page that said their minimum order is $20. Huh. Guess I'll have to go somewhere else. At least now I know what I'm looking for. Unless someone's interested in splitting a few yards of cotton gauze with me? I'd be tempted to get some silk velvet for my Requiem dress if I didn't have to dye it myself--that's been forbidden at my house for some completely UNKNOWN reason, perhaps because my mother is a bit crazy sometimes. Also, I'm accident prone and would probably end up accidentally dyeing the laundry or kitchen sink or some such nonsense.

I like cotton velvet...even though elves aren't supposed to smell like sizing. They're also supposed to wear silk, but dangit, I have a budget! And I DO like my velvet Requiem overdress even if it smells like funky fabric. I'm renaming my site "Because Elves Don't Smell Like Sizing" if I ever update again. Either that or "Magpi (something or other artsy here--loft? Studio? This is a pun that I blame on my math teacher?)"

I'm tired. Does it show yet? ARGH, but I can't SLEEP!

I'm going to go type up some fiction drivel and then try to sleep. Good MORNING (cough), all.

"If I Never Knew You" didn't make the theatrical movie, but it did make the soundtrack. Can't recall which pop artists sing it at the moment, but it's the song that's played during the end credits. Plus it's in the piano music book. And I think when ABC showed Pocahontas a few years ago, they put the song back in where it goes. Apparently Mel Gibson was rather proud of his performance.

Right, if ABC put it back in that's where I heard it, since we don't own the soundtrack. It was rather a nice song, if I remember, and I *bet* Mel was proud. He's not exactly what people think of as the next vocal music star, you know? He does do a good wild-eyed-crazy though.

If you want, I'll try to download it for you when I get back from my sister's tomorrow.

You, my dear, officially rock. But you knew that.
