Hmm, I've sort of fallen out of regular sewing updates, haven't I? Sorry. I've been in a twitchy, restless sort of mood the past week or so (stay tuned for more on that, perhaps), which isn't conducive to sewing!

I did manage to mend my flannel drawers today (they've had a rip in them since Gettysburg, last November)...that's something, right?? The half-finished projects bin is really in an alarming state, so that's one thing out of it. Not that that helped with the "alarming" bit.

And I got my shoes for the chemise gown...they're a darker blue than they looked online, so I do want to paint them eventually! That probably won't happen for the first wearing, but eventually. I also got a pair of heels I didn't really need from the same seller - but they were all of $3.25, so I really couldn't pass them up! Looked beige in the picture, but I was delighted to open the package up yesterday, and find they're pink! Not in bad shape, either - the heels have some nicks, but for the price? I'm fine with that. (Plus I always manage to put nicks in the heels of shoes anyway!)

So, yes, a nice pick-me-up, which I needed!

It always nice when you get a surprise like that in the post when something you've ordered is better than what you expected as you did with the pink shoes. The style of them is great.

Thank you! New shoes always make me happy - especially cheap new-old shoes. :)
