Month: February 2011

Hello world!

So, I’ve now become a blogger.  I’ve moved my Philippa’s Wardrobe site over to Lorenzo’s household page (well, actually Lorenzo did all the moving!!).  I’m pretty excited to start blogging, just hope I can keep up with it and it isn’t too boring to read.

Let’s see…my life right now…I’ve been working on a lot of mundane stuff recently.  I feel the need to get in and do some costuming, just trying to find motivation.  Currently, I’m working on a quilt for Jude’s birthday on March 9.  I didn’t know I was making the quilt for him, but he keeps asking when “his” blanket is going to be done, so I guess it is for him.  I’ve also recently made some coasters and two small makeup bags.

I’ve been off from school all week for February break (this will apparently be our one and only February break so I’m trying to make the most of it).  I had grandiose plans about all of the sewing I was going to do on my week off, unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) I’ve spent the week shopping with friends and family, going to the park with Jude, taking walks, gardening, and doing chores so not much sewing was accomplished.  I did make the shirt for my men’s outfit and I did pull out my Elizabethan men’s outfit to start the actual sewing on only to find out that I don’t have it all cut out, so now it is laying all over my dining room and I’m trying to find the motivation to figure out what is cut out, what isn’t cut out, what size I was using, what pieces I need to find, etc…ugh.  This is what comes of cutting parts of something out two years ago and never finishing.

I think I will finish the quilt in the next few days and work on some handwork while I try to figure out where my motivation went.
