Channelling my inner domestic goddess

[mala_14]

Now that I am not frantically scrambling to move, finish essays, and prepare for a conferece, I can take time to do things at home. This mostly involves cooking and cleaning, to help out the family and to prepare for my stuff to arrive. It's not fun, but it's good to feel accomplished and productive. Plus, I get to sleep in

I love your plans! The shortgown in particularly is brilliant, and extra appropriate when you're doing a working impression.

Hmm... I have a straw hat in my stash that looks pretty much just like that. Modern braided straw, but the same brim height, flat straight-sided crown, narrow brim. I have no plans to use it, and I don't want to store it. Would you be interested, for the cost of shipping?

That cake looks yummy! I really don't need to get into making cakes now... also trying to lose weight... ;)

Thanks Ginger! A lot of our stuff is less fancy, so the shortgown seemed like a good idea. Plus, it seemed warmer than just a dress, which is key during these spring events.

Thank you so much for the generous offer of the hat, but I got some straw blanks at Christmas that I am planning to use so I can practice millinery.

Losing weight is hard! Best of luck to you!

I love the plans! I'm currently working on a full robe inspired by that first shortgown, though I'm being stupid and doing so many ruffles. I'm already regretting this decision. ;)

Thanks! I bet the ruffles will look great! I want ruffles, but I think they will have to wait for another future Regency project when I have more time.
