back in the saddle again

I got back to work on the Poe last night. [livejournal.com profile] sadievale came over last night and we sewed together. I helped her get started on her riding habit (she's copying this lovely thing) in between finishing up the Poe bodice toiling. It was nice to have a costuming buddy to get me going and keep me laughing; I was really not in the mood to work last night.

I can't believe I have to have this dress finished in a few days, I'm so far behind and so not in the mood, but I don't have a back-up plan. I'm afraid to push myself too hard for fear of getting sick once again though. My immune system is so run down at the moment. Still I plow ahead, not knowing what else to do...

The real point of this post is to whine and say that I HATE sleeves. The first sleeve toile has been a disaster. Yes, I really hate sleeves. *sigh*

Oh and speaking of [livejournal.com profile] sadievale, she is off to the Jane Austen evening in LA this weekend, are any of my LJ peeps going this year too?

I really want to go next year, S says it's great fun. There is another Austen ball in the LA area during the year. I'll have to ask her for the details on that for you...

Ohhhh, okay. I was aware of the dance in Pasadena, only you threw me when you said LA. ;-) Sorry to be a bother! Thank you for the link. :-D
