Some sewing, some baking, sounds like a normal week.

Having said nothing for over a week, I feel like I should say something. However, I don't have much in particular to say.
It's been a fairly ordinary week here. I can't believe it's Wednesday night already. That means I pretty much only have tomorrow left for this week. We'll leave for Bristol sometime around noon on Friday, so I won't really have much time on Friday to accomplish anything. I need to sew a new shirt for Jeremy and do some baking. I meant to start on Jeremy's shirt about an hour ago, but I checked my email first to respond to a long neglected email, and I forgot to turn off my gmail chat and a friend popped up to talk to me. He's very long-winded, and takes ages to tell a short story, so I knew the conversation would go on for a long time if I didn't tell him I need to do something. I tried telling him that I had to go sew, and he spent about 10 more minutes telling me to not let Luke have nitroglycerin. I enjoy talking to this friend, but I think he'd start to drive me crazy if I tried to talk to him for too long! He's very enthusiastic about everything he talks about... Oh well, at least he gave me good advice on not letting Luke have nitroglycerin....

I just glanced back to the table and noticed that it's starting to have things piled on it (I just cleared it off for sewing!), so I should get to sewing Jeremy's shirt while I can still see the table!
I don't know if I'll accomplish any other sewing besides his shirt. I'd like to finally finish my kirtle. Well, the portion that needs to be finished on the sewing machine anyway. I'm going to have to put eyelets in the back for lacing, and that will take a while! It may be something I can work on at Bristol though.
Oh eyelets, why do you have to be so time consuming?

More About Sewing...What a Surprise!

I didn't expect to be able to go to Hobby Lobby until next Thursday, but my Dad kindly offered to take me today! I bought the fabric that I needed, and I also picked up some embroidery floss. I'm going to teach Jeremy how to make his own buttons and eyelets for his garb.
The fabric for my dress is currently in the washer. My Mom is sewing right now, so the table is unavailable, but once it is I may cut out the fabric for my bodice. Or, I might start on Jeremy's garb. I'll cut out a mock-up in a cheaper cotton before cutting into the wool, but if it ends up fitting well I'll go ahead and finish the mock-up and then Jeremy will have two sets of garb.
Unfortunately, before I can cut out my bodice or any of his garb, I have to draft the patterns. Before I can draft the pattern I have to take a piece of poster board (one of my Dad's customers was throwing away a LOT of white poster board, and it was in perfect condition! But my Dad asked if he could have it) and make drafting paper. This involves using a yard stick and drawing 1" grid. It's very tedious, I really hate doing it, but I also hate paying $25 for 100 pieces of drafting paper.
I may get Jeremy to draw out some of the drafting paper...
