I finished the soft-crown Regency bunnit I've been poking at, but didn't take any pictures yet because I am super good at this "at least attempt to sell your crap" thing. The flowers on top ended up slightly off-center, but I decided that could totally be a deliberate design choice, and therefore left them there. I actually think it's very cute, and almost want to keep it for myself...the danger of only making things to sell that you like!

Also finally gave in to the fact that it's winter, and I cannot in fact sew in an un-insulated room any more, so had to drag the sewing machine in and set up all my paraphernalia on the dining room table. Grumble grumble grumble. Good thing we have a large table, and never have Real Sit-Down Dinners or anything, so I don't have to clean it all up unless company's expected! Sewed up all the various bits of buckram that have been hanging around for the last week while I pretended I was going to sew in my very cold sewing room, including the brim of another soft bonnet. Mainly because I cut out the crown of red silk to go with the latest straw brim that'd been bound in that red, and then realized having the binding and crown of the same color with a straw brim had a whiff of farbiness about it that I disliked. So a crown of cream silk went with that brim, and I may as well use the red crown before I lose it! It's very brilliantly red and fairly obnoxious, so I'm not keen on having 2/3 of my bonnet offerings involve it, but maybe the solution to that is make bonnets a little faster, eh?

Well that was a nice stream of consciousness! I think I'm getting sleepy...
