(no subject)
Jun. 22nd, 2008 09:10 pmI started work on the 1820 evening dress, and am filled with quiet satisfaction at the idea of making something for myself again. I got to drape on my brand new dress form for the first time, and have a good, working muslin for the bodice.
Life continues to be fairly quiet and regular. The most exciting events of the last week were attending a Very Bad 18th cen. reenactment with Katie, and, later in the week, a leisurely walk to the local zoo with Adrianne (who I hadn't seen in over a month). The Very Bad reenactment had an unexpected side effect though... Katie and the "Mackinac crowd" and I are probably going to start our own reenactment group (French and Indian era, as opposed to Rev War). We have grand plans which basically consist of being a lot friendlier (and better researched) than the folks we saw and talked to there. Who knows though... we could all get jobs across the country and nothing might come of it.
Still looking for an apartment. I found one on Craigslist just now that LOOKS ideal, and am trying not to get my hopes up.
