Still finding it a little bit difficult to get back into the swing of things, after last week's metaphorical meteor hit. There's a lot to work on, both costuming and real-life, that I can't keep putting off! The idea of New Castle is enjoyable, though, and that's helping.

I did finish sewloud's 1830s bonnet and handed it off Sunday; she seemed to be tickled with it so that's good! I also cut out the rest of the mantle layers and am almost done basting them together. I contemplated sewing the edge binding on the machine, since I machine-sewed the back and side pieces together...but I know the velvet and flannel (interlining) will be evil and creepy if I do, so it's probably less work in the long run just to do it by hand in the first place. And I need to decide what feather-type-things I need for my bonnet and mantle and order them, like, yesterday.

And somebody actually ordered a painted petticoat from my etsy shop (shock and awe! and slight horror) so I should probably get cracking on that too.

Tickled is an understatement!! Rob wouldn't let me wear it to work. And yay expensive things selling! Did they pick the Amanda model or the robin butt?

Psssh, silly of him! I think it would go very nicely with your scrubs! And they picked the Robin butt. xD

That's what I said! And everyone wants a robin butt. Height of fashion.
