well, thank goodness it's summer vacation

...since Tom woke me up at 3am coughing (guess he's got another plague). I very rarely have trouble getting back to sleep when awoken at ass'o'clock, but apparently this morning my brain was like NOPE WE'RE AWAKE NOW YAY GOOD MORNING!

D:

I laid in bed for about 45 minutes and then decided, this is stupid, may as well get up and do something. Tom had gone downstairs to sleep on the couch so as not to wake me up (ha ha) and I didn't want to wake him up, so was restricted to whatever was in the sewing room (cross stitch was downstairs or I'd have done that...we have VERY creaky stairs), quiet, and easily available.

Which meant I got a nice lot of sewing done on the green silk 18-teens undergown that I put aside a couple of weeks ago! Nothing like fitting a back closing bodice on yourself at 4:15 am. Lots of wriggling.

Just have to do the hem now, which I'll probably knock out this evening so as to feel very accomplished. Technically it's only about 85% done, as it doesn't have sleeves yet...but I'm not 100% sure what I want to do with the sleeves on the overgown so I'm not going to make the base sleeves til I figure that out. Probably a small short-sleeve puff to support whatever the overgown sleeve is, but it's possible I might not want a sleeve on the undergown at all, so may as well wait on that!

Applause to you for getting stuff accomplished instead of faffing around on gadgets!

I was very surprised at myself! Well...actually I think the laptop was also downstairs so I'd have been limited to phone scrolling. Still!
