Well, I finished all the bone casings on the LoJ bodice, and I'm really excited about it... I think it's going to come out really well. It's amazing how much stiffer it is just from having the casing on there, even without the bones ( Read more... )

So, after clearing most of the dirty dishes from the sink, e-mailing off my application to LMU (*crossing fingers*), and finishing the last chapter of "Wintersmith", I finally managed to sit down and get a bit of work done on the LoJ gown.
