Still doing hoods

So! I finished one hood and have started another - no pics yet but if I get it up in the shop tomorrow you'll get pics...obviously. Bought a marabou boa at work to trim second hood with, which is apparently not long enough (because measuring is for chumps). Second hood will basically be a mini-me of my natural form Pimp Coat...pink wool with white feather trim! Herringbone weave is still not really correct for ladies' outerwear of the period...and I still don't care. Because it's pink and cozy.

I was awakened at Too Early o'clock this morning, when the Very Enthusiastically Horn-Blowing Speeding Rattle-Rattle Pope Trains started running. I do think it's neat the Pope's visting (despite not being remotely Catholic, I think he seems like a cool dude for the leader of a world religon), but it would be great if the trains could control their enthusiasm til at least 7am.

I listed my 1860s Hood Prototype 1 today, and should maaaaaybe be able to get Hood 2 up in the next day or so? I got my silk in the mail for the other custom 1780s Mushroom Hat so I want to get that out of the way first, and send it off Monday.
