It's alive!!!
Hi Livejournal, that which I have been slightly neglecting when it comes to posting.
Been busy and also sick so my motivation for posting has been at almost zero. Still working on the Abyssal costume dress, but I'm almost done with it. Just have to take it in in a few spots, hem it and then press the seams and it should be all set.
I plan on taking my Tudor dress too, which I need to stitch the farthengale in a few spots. Putting the petticoat through the washer found a few weak spots in the stitching. No problem though, that's a quick fix.
I also want to make two drawstring pouches to go along with the Abyssal and Tudor dresses. I've already got a black velvet that I'm going to use for the Abyssal's bag, and I think I'm going to root through my collection of brocades and see if anything in there would work for the Tudor's bag.
Started reading an interesting book a few days ago, The Magicians by Lev Grossman. Kept hearing about it and how if you liked Harry Potter, you'd like it.
Well, I do like it so far. But I'd actually compare it with two particular series, the Harry Potter series and the Narnia series.
Have to say that I have a hard time tearing myself away from reading it at night so I can get some sleep.
