today: embroidery, patterns, hats, etc.

I finished the embroidery yesterday and blocked it. It should be dry by now, so this afternoon I'll finish the edges and frame it. Yay!

Bad news: Two J. P. Ryan patterns I need want for the man + shipping = $50. Crap! I think I'll go back to the patterns I tried to draft/enlarge from last year and see if I can make them work.

Good news: Jas.Townsend has wool felt tricorns for $25, and tricorn-able wool felt blanks for $20. They also have a suitable ladies' wide, flat straw hat, so hopefully I can save on shipping from them.
