No sleeves. But I did manage to iron the 5 yard length of twill this morning and am about to send the linen through the wash again to soften it up some more. That has to count for something right? The focus for yesterday was to wash out all the gel that I put in […]
Just in time for my fabric to arrive in style: Stay classy USPS. Drafting the pattern wasn’t too hard. It was actually quite enjoyable. Especially the part where I made a 3 loop finger braid out if excess embroidery floss to help measure out the armscye of the bodice. ( P.S. Making long lengths of […]
Mood: So-so Song: No idea but it is classic rock Drink: N / A Snack: N / A Progress on the pocket is going slow (I chose the wrong finishing technique) and the still – left – to – do list isn’t helping me keep up my sewing mojo. Neither is this little number that […]
Mood: Meh Song: N / A Drink: N / A Snack: N / A Work on my soccaccia is nearly done. All that is left are the ties but I couldn’t gather up the willpower to stay up and get them done. I want to say that they will be done by the time I […]

Well all except for the eyelets on the front piece. They would be done except I have misplaced my awl. *sigh*
One sleeve down, one more to go. Kitkat is not impressed. I’m done working on it today. Onto something sturdier.

In a complete change of events, I have been productive. This is thanks, in part, to the lace meeting and the dude waking me up early so he could get to work. I improvised breakfast, washed two loads of laundry, mopped up the mess from a utility sink overflow (thanks to a few conspiring rags), […]
Today I experienced lace info overload. I’m not sure where to even begin. It was a lot more than I hoped it would be. For instance, I thought we were going to work on our own individual projects and chit chat over tea and/or wine like at knit night but I ended up sitting with […]
