Well, goodness.  It's been a while, but then, I haven't been to work since before I went to Plimoth.  This is the longest I've ever been off work since I started, and now I don't think I remember how; at the very least, it's impossible to get anything done the week of Christmas/New Year's. We're going to the farm NY's day, after a party up here.  ( Read more... )

...to Plimoth, that is. We leave today, and see the jacket this evening.

*anticipation*

Guess who's at work on a Friday?

(Well, aside from everyone working a full-time job.)

I need to work a full week this week, as I'm going to be off next Thursday, looking at the finished Plimoth Jacket (capitalization ftw) with pinkleader and cathgrace (and many others). I'm boggling with excitement. The Thistle Threads blog has been teasing all week with tiny ( Read more... )

We are back from Plimoth, with mixed feelings of joy and sadness, since this was the last time we'll be touching the jacket, ever.  The frames are almost entirely completed, and what is left is not large enough for another sewing session. The jacket will be sewn together, and will go on display at a museum for the next two years.

I got to finish out ( Read more... )

I apologize for the lack of posting yesterday; I had the worst day I've had in a long time, and driving, typing, and even doing laundry was pretty much out of the question.  I spent most of the day lying on the sofa with a book propped up on pillows, because holding it was too uncomfortable.

Today is much better, thank you.  No need for sympathy ( Read more... )

I had a wonderful time at Plimoth ; pinkleader, cathgrace and I are now an official item at the embroidery sessions. At least, I assume that's what they meant when they said "who let the Three Stooges in here?!". I had a great time, and I'll post pics when I get them off my camera.

Oh yeah - I should write something, huh?

I dyed my hair last night with a colour other than my normal one (which I have to buy from Canada). I think I won't be using this one unless I have to - it's at least four shades darker than my usual colour, and it dyed my fake nails (which fool most people at a casual glance, I am sneaky, o yesIam) bright ( Read more... )

 So...

Party stuff:  The party starts at 7pm Tuesday (8/5), but the speech stuff and the prizes will be done at 8pm.  This is to give me some time to set up, for people to arrive, and for me to run around and look at people's pretty, pretty clothes.  Bring a chair if you want to sit - there will not be much of any kind of setup other than tables for ( Read more... )
