Wow, it has been longer than I though!

Life is crazy and busy, tiring but good. I still haven't finished the Renaissance dress but I have done some hand sewing! I'm still trying to decide on embillishments (if any) and closures (although will probably do lacing holes). I am hoping to have it done to a wearable stage (no sleeves) by this weekend - not sure it will happen though ;-) I have the two new patterns as well which remain unopened.

I did buy a stash of velveteen the other day as it was reduced from $14.95AUS per metre to $6AUS per metre :-) I got 10m of green, 10m of blue and 10m of black - I am hoping now with the warmer weather and wanting to stay in the air conditioning I will get some sewing done. I must admit I have not been motivated lately :-(
