It's angel chorus weather!
Mar. 31st, 2010 04:01 pmThe sun is shining, a warm breeze is wafting through the open windows, and the banks and corners of the yard are filled with violets.
The air smells of life and possibility, and in spite of a rejection letter from Carnegie Mellon (not at all a surprise considering the interview) the world seems a wonderful place.
I wish it could always be spring... I am told that I would eventually grow tired of it and it would become ordinary and boring, but I do not believe that. Springtime could last forever and never lose its charm and loveliness.
I do, however, need to settle down and finish at least one project in the next few days. At the moment I have far too many things going, and flit from one to the other depending on my mood. While this is fairly good for maintaining my interest in everything, it is not very good for getting things done.
Right now I am concurrently working on:
- Tyler's ever-lasting present (not quite half done... omg)
- an early-spoon Mildred Augusta bonnet (the frame is all put together and needs covering next)
- silk windowpane 1860's dress (the skirt is hemmed and the pleats are pinned... haven't started the bodice yet)
- crocheted sontag (pattern from 1866 Peterson's magazine)
Also, a couple days ago I made a mask for a demo we (Katie, Mike and myself) did at the Regency Exhibition Ball this past weekend. Katie (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rvqavalon) has a couple decent pictures of me wearing it at the ball, but I only just have this crappy web-cam shot. Whatevs.
And a couple pictures from the ball for good measure... first one ofsorchekyrkeby, myself, dandytailor, rvqavalon, and Julie (not on LJ). Second picture is, well, either a classic or a running joke, take your pick! ;)
And this weekend is scheduled as Underwear Weekend! Katie and I both need decent/more 1860's undergarments, and as nothing is more tedious than making chemises and drawers, we are going to get together and make an event out of it. Hopefully the glorious weather that is predicted for the weekend plus having each other to keep us on track will prove sufficient motivation.
