I finished the hood, and wore it to dancing on Sunday night because it was SO cold! I only got to wear it TO dancing though, Saf, the 12 year old in the group, decided it was far too warm and snuggly for me to wear, so she stole it for the rest of the evening!! I'll try to take a photo or 2 soon.
Today I cut out my red challis (1860s) and started putting the sleeves together. I'm definitely going to take photos tomorrow because they're such crazy sleeves! The challis is a tomatoey red and I'm trimming it with a lovely golden brown silk ribbon, Mummy said it looks drab, but I like it, it seems festive! and it reminds me of a robin red breast :)
Today I also finished the last of the chocolate chocolate chocolate chip cookies, so I'm planning to try some apple-sauce oatmeal raisin cookies tomorrow, the recipe sounds yummy, and slightly more healthy!!!

I've spent the last 2 days working on my sontag, it is taking FOREVER!!! I'm still a little bit sore from the op, standing, leaning over and walking a lot, especially stairs, gets a bit uncomfortable, I can crochet though! But while I crochet I've been planning what I'll be sewing as soon as I can bend over the table long enough to cut out :) I'm going to re-cut Mummy's hood from the 'red riding hood' pattern I used, to a fitted hood like mine, I think I'll have just enough without having to piece, and only need to do a tiny bit more quilting, and I'm going to keep the pinked scalloped edge on the curtain, so hopefully it'll be a fairly quick job! I haven't decided yet if I will use some of the pretty plaid ribbon I bought on ebay recently, or re-use the taffeta fabric ties... we'll see :) But I want to put fur on it, nice and snuggly!
I also have decided to make my new wool dress before I make my new corset, because I NEED a wool dress for the Xmas demo, I can cope with the badly fitting corset but I can't cope with the cold in a cotton dress!
And last plan, I'm going to get my hair cut. At the moment it's long enough to tuck into the waistband of my jeans, but the ends are all straggly, and while it's great for dressing up, it's not so good for 'real life', so I'm going to get quite a bit chopped off and layers put in, no bangs though, it'll still be long, just not ridiculously long :) So that's my job for tomorrow!
