this & that

Yesterday was nice. It was mostly a headache free day and I had a couple of friends over for a "crafty day". Collectively we sewed, quilted, made jewelry, worked on millinery and wove on a lap loom. We also had white wine and sparkling lemonade and of course we chatted and schemed while we worked. It was a really nice, quiet but productive Sunday afternoon. I really do need to do this sort of thing more often!

I worked on my Big Green Hat (TM), getting all the buckram pieces sewn together. It actually looks like a hat now and I'm excited about it. It really is going to be fabulous! No pictures yet though as I gave my camera to Mom and Dad for the weekend.

On today's agenda is to work on my current commission, the hat and my Gaulle. I usually like to work one project at a time but after looking at my calendar this morning (epp!) I need to multitask to get everything done for UTR. So today is a cutting day. I have ruffles to cut for the commission (ruffles!) then I'm going to reward myself with cutting out the fabrics for my hat and Gaulle.
