bad brain!
Dear Self,
No, Sarah, you are NOT ALLOWED to think about an 1840s project. This is not an era you do (yet). You have eight million projects already in the works. You do not need any more fabric. Please go finish your striped 18c petticoat or take a shower or study already.
Love,

my culture for the weekend...
I just got back from a Dolly Parton concert. I think I want to be her when I grow up. She said she spends the long drives on her tour bus hot-glueing rhinestones to instruments and other objects. -
now, what?
I have received all the fabrics I ordered for various 18c projects in the mail today. they have all been laundered ( Read more... ) -
red gown woes
well, washing the silk went quite awry. I had to wash it because it was dusty (achoo!) and there were a few spots on it. but now it's just not what I want. it would probably be more appropriate for a pretty nightgown - it's that much lighter now.
argh! this sucks.
anyone seen some nice red silk satin around recently? -
in my free time
I have been keeping up with my friends list, but I have not been doing much in the way of active entertainment (sewing, home improvements) these days and find myself reading after I finish work/studying. I have just discovered Laura Kinsale, so I have had much to read ( Read more... ) -
I am amazing!
I just successfully cast on 8 whole stitches!
I am making a friend a knitted sheep for his birthday because he has always wanted me to knit him something. so I got a kid's knitting kit.
we'll see if I get any further than this, or if I end up wrapping a tangled pile of yarn. -
bad Jenni!
it's all your fault I'm playing on the internet (dolls! just what I need - a new hobby) instead of sewing. grumble grumble. -
boo
I had an asthma attack last night and had to go to the ER at 3am. it sucked. I took the morning off from work so I could sleep and then went in at lunchtime to work on charts (I am so behind on my paperwork). One of the docs I work with yelled at me for coming in (she was such a mom about it, too) so I got sent home to watch movies and relax ( Read more... ) -
today I sewed stuff.
this is the first time I've assembled anything by machine that is entirely silk (lining, outside, and interlinings) with silk friend. what a dream! I can't get over how nice it feels!
