So, what have I been up to? Finally completed enough little things in the past couple days to post about them, and somehow I'm not too far behind in my ambitious schedule to Finish ALL the Gettysburg Things.
First - a bumpad, which I've needed since I first got my hoop! I find my hoop tends to push forward a bit under the weight of skirts and petticoats, so some kind of little pad was in order. It's way exciting. This is version 2, by the way - when your method is cut, sew, stuff, you rarely get things thr right size on the first try! Number 1 was too small.
Next - I finally trimmed my own bonnet! I only made it two years ago! ...Yeah, really. It's a bit simply trimmed, I think - I was wavering about putting some flowers on the outside as well, but I'm not very into the frou-frou, so I'll leave it for now.
And the progress on Alice's bonnet!
( Cut in case she doesn't want to see her bonnet before it's done... )
