lack of posts
Apr. 2nd, 2007 08:00 pmthis is due to the fact that i haven't really done anything! especially nothing costume wise, oh, i tell a lie, i have been day dreaming about the regency clothes i'm going to make, and i have bought some cotton lawn to make my shift (and a shift for mummy's late 18th century and my 1860s pair of drawers) and some cotton voile to make a dress, i'm going to attempt to make it 'multi purpose', with removable long undersleeves and 2 different coloured slips, so i can have a day dress and an evening dress.
i have been so busy at work, and so tired, that i've not really done anything. everything that has happened in the last 8 months is really beginning to get to me. after daddy died i coped much better than mummy and clare, mainly because i took on the role of 'mum' and felt i had to look after everybody, but also because i had roly. i loved him so much, there's now a huge hole in my heart, and my life, i don't have anyone to get up for anymore. mummy and clare don't need me the way he did. i think i've just been exhausted, ever since i got back to work after he died i've been working ridiculously hard. and now granny is so poorly, and mummy is back at work so i have to ride my moped into work and i feel all wobbly coz i've not used it since the autumn.
but at least i now have a holiday, 3 weeks before school starts again! we went to vist granny for the weekend, so this is my first day of real holiday time! but guess what? i have a stinking cold! bunged up nose and very sore throat :( i am starting to feel better mentally though, and i think that as long as i keep busy, and keep having things to get up for, ( like wanting to achieve so many things all in one day, sewing normal clothes, sewing costumes, making MORE handbags, replenishing my card stock and making more realistic baby dolls!) i'll feel even better. at least the weather is now lovely. as long as granny doesn't get worse, or at least, doesn't start to feel worse, i think i'll be happy.
on happier news, i did make a handbag last week, and after getting up late with my cold and going into town for things for the shifts and baby dolls, i made a top this afternoon! the first time i've used the overlocker (serger) to make proper seams, and the first time i've made a jersey top, and i made up my own pattern! i'm a happy bunny now! as soon as clare gets home from work tomorrow i'll get her to take a photo of me in the daylight :)
hmmm, strange rambling post, sorry, i'm all over the place at the moment.
