It's been a bit quiet 'round these parts as of...well...May.
I have learned 1 thing through all of this:
Blogging is not easily done with a full time job.
Please accept my humble apologies, as I've been too busy making things instead of blogging.
Now, I'm going to update you for a hot second before I get back to doing what I really need to be doing.
I'm currently sewing my bum off.
Literally...
it's gone...
Here's the deal:
I was hired by Colonial Williamsburg this summer to work as an Orientation Interpreter (hopefully translating over into a full time position of some variety). 2 weeks into training, an amazing position came my way to work for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation's Costume Design Center (now referred to as the CDC) as a specialist tailor for events at Jamestown.
What does this mean?
1. Well, I'm working in my field (huzzah!) 2. I sew all day. Every day. I'm going to need a massage and a break after July is over.
I also have other projects.
Sapphire's gown has a deadline of July 20th.
Next weekend is Under the Redcoat at CW and with my new stays (whoa baby) I need new clothes, cause NOTHING FITS (totally in the good way). So I'm in the ultimate tag team.
Day time is 17th century stuff.
Evening is either Sapphire's stuff OR Petticoat with 240" flounce needing hemming on both sides OR English gown that I just now got the pieces cut out for that needs to be done by Saturday.
As in 1 week from now.
Ideally, I would like to trim the gown, but I'm not going to kid myself.
Oh and my stays still need to be bound on the bottom and lined. Yeah...that's not going to happy until August.
So, the point of my random post is this:
Pray for me and pass the margaritas.
