TGIF!!

the year 11 plays went very well, i should have photos soon, i have to recharge my camera's batteries to see what the pics my mother took are like, if they're any good i'll post them, if not i should get the 'official' photos on monday.
my hand is really sore, i spent all of today using a staple gun making scenery for 'death by jealousy' (what our version of amadeus is called), and i was worried i wouldn't be able to work the throtle properly on my moped!
i was wrong about being in rehearsals all weekend, the dress rehearsal is on monday! yay!!! a whole weekend to myself! i'm going to go upstairs and finish making a teddy i started last weekend, and if i feel energetic i might start another one, then tomorrow i want to get started on the toile for the 1860s evening bodice, and when i get bored i'll alternate with bonnet making! i 'salvaged' a couple of straw hats from the wardrobe today, so i'll take them apart and soak them to get them supple again, and make me a spoon bonnet!
i ordered some fabric yesterday, stupid paypal wouldn't let me use my new amazon card :( so i missed out on $232 of points! i got some 4" warp printed ribbon for the bonnet http://linux.washwebworks.net/fabrics/images/R211b.jpg, some lilac moire ribbon for the evening dress trimming http://linux.washwebworks.net/fabrics/images/R35s.jpg and a lovely yellow jacquard for a regency gown http://linux.washwebworks.net/fabrics/images/S01b.jpg and some blue taffeta for a short pelise and bonnet trim http://linux.washwebworks.net/fabrics/images/S139a.jpg. i'm getting so carried away thinking about my regency things - i really want to get started! i'm going to make the silk dress something like ( this )
