What I've been up to
I mostly disappeared from the face of the Web lately. I'm still reading (although a tad behind, so I might have skipped some interesting stuff, errr... sorry about that. And not commenting much), I figured I should pop in again a bit.
Mostly, I've been taking care of the kids, I've been more social than usual (two days out of town on my own in two weeks is like... unheard of since Heimlich's birth !), re-reading all of the GoT books, and handsewing dozens of nametags into Heimlich's clothes as he started kindergarten.
I mostly neglected sewing, but for mending a few things, and my blog until recently. Today I finally finally finished typing and editing my post on 1890s chemises. I'd still like to find images of the printed batistes I found mentions of, still waiting for some answers from a museum (here's hoping they actually answer, they have some images and they're willing to show them to me without asking a few hundred euros for it...)
I will not register for printmaking classes this year, for time and money reasons. I have other graphic projects in my head anyway, and I want to try my hand at the press I have at home - even if it only does relief print.
Oh yes, the post, BTW : here be chemises. There's a button at the bottom of the page if you feel adventurous enough to let google translate it to you.
