So, I'm back from my trip. I'd been writing notes and taking pictures all along but I've realised I'll likely never get around to writing this all up unless I do it as I go along.

So I've downloaded this simple blog script and will use it to document my progress. I'm also going back in time and posting entries for what I did previously, so the dates and times on the entries before this one might be a little wonky.

While I was in the states I went to Joann Fabrics, which is more of a craft shop than a fabric shop, and less premade than Michael's. I tried Michael's before but they were useless. Also most of this stuff was cheaper at Joann, esp. in the states.

So, I've spent a big pile of monies and got most of the supplies I'll need for the project. Still missing a few but this should be good for now.
