mandie_rwOne sleeve is completely sewn and pinned in; the second is about halfway done. I used the sleeves from my cream wool jacket, and just made them a little wider, to fit shirt sleeves more comfortably. Hopefully. (No fun like sausage arm fun!) I see no reason I can't have this Done Enough by Wednesday - if I finish the sleeves, back neck binding, and at least get a start on the lower sleeves tomorrow, I ought to be in good shape.
And Funny Thing I forgot to mention yesterday: my mom's choir concert was last night, and I brought a book to entertain myself before it started (it's not some podunk amateur hour, they have professional soloists and have members of the Philadelphia Orchestra play with them, and it's held in a local church with no admission charge, so you have to get there very early to get a seat!) Haydn's The Creation, which was a really glorious piece of music, btw. So I was hiding in the side balcony with my Sarah Kemble Knight journal, hoping no one would talk to me; naturally the overly friendly lady next to me did. Usually reading primary sources quashes people's interests ("Oh, are you reading that for school?" Haha, no, but I'm flattered at the implication that I'm in my early twenties and in undergrad), but not this one. She actually seemed genuinely interested, we chatted for a bit, and I think she's going to bully her family into coming to our open house on Saturday. So hooray for luring people into visit historic sites! I hope she does come...though I'll be dressed a little differently and she might not recognize me. Ha ha ha.
