This is getting old!
Jan. 16th, 2011 10:41 pmI am still feeling a bit pooh, did a bit too much this weekend I think, you know what it's like when you finally feel as if you're getting back to normal again!
I'm hoping I'll be able to get back to work this week, having missed the entire first week of term! I think I'll only be doing half days though, not my usual 3 full days. If this weekend is anything to go by, I won't manage to last a whole day without a nap! Tomorrow will probably be a late start, so I'll do the afternoon, then I hope to manage to get up to do mornings, as I much prefer getting the bus home at lunch time rather than at half past four when it's dark!
My regency dress is going at a snail's pace! I have finished one sleeve, and the second one just needs the frill sewing on, it's all hemmed and gathered ready to go. I might take it for my bus ride tomorrow actually ... hmm, hadn't thought of that! The skirt is hemmed and has one tuck, and I'm going to pin it to the bodice for a fitting to see if I calculated right and there's room for another :) then I just have to sew the sleeves and skirt to the bodice and finish the neck and add a frill, and it's done. Then I can get on with the next one! I do like to work myself hard don't I?!!
