(Before I write anymore did you enter my giveaway? Cause if you haven't, you're just silly. $25 gift certificate to Burnley and Trowbridge! WOO!)
Anyways, for an update. Yesterday was spent ironing pleating and sewing down a petticoat that was in this weird bastardization stage? I had it half done for a while, trying to do something with it, but it didn't work out and now it's actually a socially acceptable petticoat, minus the hem. I really need to finish that hem. It's just a plain cream petticoat, and I'm wearing it as an under petticoat for the stay making workshop I'm attending this weekend in Williamsburg.
I am so excited. I get a new pair of stays!
I don't really like sewing stays though.
But I will have new stays! Huzzah!
But I really get bored sewing stays.
But my left arm wont go numb anymore! Huzzah Huzzah!
Seriously though...boning stays is a pain in my bum.
But I'll have new stays!
Be prepared for a lot of whining and procrastination.
It'll be worth it in the end though. That's what I keep telling myself. After having that kind of conversation in my head when I think about the work that will go into making myself a new pair of stays.
Also, in non sewing news. I have a confession.
I am having a quarter life crisis. And it has manifested into owning a new pet.
Her name is Tilly, and she looks at me like I'm crazy. Probably because I am, slightly.

Tilly will probably become a regular feature on this blog, just because she's pretty and is little miss sassy-pants.
Tomorrow I leave for Williamsburg until Tuesday. I will be updating a little bit (giveaway winner, etc). And hopefully next week I'll have some awesome posts for you to check out and a recap of my short stay in Williamsburg.
With that in mind, I'm going to go and try and do something productive....
