Progress and plans
Aug. 21st, 2007 08:26 amI've just got a few more days of work to do on Ms. Teal's costume, and then I'll be done. She's already picked up the underskirt (so she could do beadwork on it) and corset, so that's two things I don't need to think about anymore. The bodice needs lining and grommets, the overskirt needs trimmings, and the two pairs of sleeves need finishing. I'm hoping she can come pick it up this Friday, because then she'll have it for Fest this weekend, but also because when I finish costumes for other people, I like to get them out of the house as soon as possible - I feel closure and also I don't stand there picking at them and looking for tiny errors.
I'm already knee-deep in plans for what to do when I'm finished:
1.) Finish the koi quilt for my brother-in-law. We'll be going to visit him in Dallas in September and I want to give it to him then!
2.) Try to whip up something new to wear to the ren fest. I think we're planning on going in about 3 weeks and I have nothing to wear! I think I can manage somthing simple and peasanty before that, but I'm having a hard time deciding on a style. Maybe Flemish?
3.) Make a new shirt for honeybunny's ren fest costume - simple, I already have the linen, and he doesn't want ruffs or pleats or anything.
4.) Get us ready for the October VSA ball: I need to change the sleeves on my ballgown bodice, they bind too much. HB needs new collar and cuffs for his evening shirt. I'm thinking about making a mask, too, since this is supposed to be a masked ball, but I can never figure out how to make one work with my glasses, and I don't do contacts. I think I'll try making my old glasses into a mask setup somehow.
I brought my baklava and my savory onion muffins to the state fair on Sunday. I'm just bursting with anticipation to find out if I won anything! I hope they announce it soon!
