All by hand this little *#&%*$#&#*%$ undergown. On the good side, the center inserted godets are good and straight. Side ones and sleeves are pinned, one side half done.

And head congestion added because of change of weather and mold. *sigh*

Two little squares sewn to sleeves, one godet sewn and pinned to the center front (and for the moment, pinned STRAIGHT). Sewing on said seam has commenced, no blood on garment yet (give it time. I'm bound to stab myself somewhere along the way).

Neckline is cut, looks good.

Now for the tub and bed.

Yay! Gramma hit the hay about 11:30 after my nightly soak in the tub for the arthritis and circulation issues ( Read more... )

So it seems that I may be falling into the "pre-diabetic" category. This morning woke up feeling pretty fine, although lazy. Just didn't want to get out of bed. But, had to with the charge, so got her awake, we started yakking about shit and life in general, somehow it got around to addictions and then me and my ex ( Read more... )

Pulled the cap off the pen I am using for project and ink flew out from the tip. Thankfully only a small blot on the working area, CAREFULLY blotted and I guess I'm gonna do something RIGHT THERE to fix it. Sighed and figured now was a good time to clean the pen ( Read more... )

Underhood for my truncated hennin is almost finished, the two pieces are being sewn together today.
