Christmas and family time have thieved all my sewing time from the past week, so I haven't been doing anything on the gown I need to wear in one week.  But I did have a super-fabulous Sister Day yesterday; we went vintage clothes shopping, then out to lunch at the local organic cafe, then downtown to skate at the free public ice rink, and topped it off with candy shopping at Candyland. So that's some consolation for not sewing.

I've also got a cold.  It's not bad (yet?) but it is stopping me from doing anything but lie around and complain.  Especially since I blew all my energy yesterday on the aforementioned ice skating.

I finished the eyelets on one side of the bodice, and today I really want to make a significant dent in the opposite side.  It's only 11 eyelets per side. Then I can lace it up and make the final tweaks to the neckline before I finish the edge with a facing and then add the trim.  I think I can do that in a week and probably get another shot at hairdo practice as well.  Hopefully the cold will be gone by then so I don't have a red runny nose at the ball.
