refreshing my UFO list of projects
I've done better than I thought with my UFOs, and if I can knock over the regency stays I can even get a bit excited. Even a mock up of them will be enough to decide if I'll continue to to work on them.
It's the last day of summer, grey, raining and a high of 20C! I bet this summer has averaged 10C a day cooler! Now I wouldn't mind so much if it was sunny but cool - in fact I'd love it. But overcast so there are more grey days than blue - that's not why I stayed here for half my life!
So that explains why tomorrow I'm going to have a bash at my brown wool skirt from nearly a year ago - I might need it soon! Sunday I may tackle the regency dress - get it done & dusted for JAFA.
