Sitting cat Welcome to my home-cooked journal.
Here you will find my rants about every day life and things that keep me busy.
In the past I have frequently written, but there's no saying if I'll continue on that path. It all depends on how busy I am.
Have fun reading my scribbles.
Productive weekend

At the end of the weekend I could not cross off anything on my paper todo list that is standing on my desk. Still, I had a good feeling because I:

  • Finished the commissioned doublet
  • Turned a wrap-skirt into a summer dress, with lots of help from Matthijs
  • Turned a bathrobe (of which I had two) into comfy (but quite unflattering) pants
  • Turned two men's shirts into shirts suitable for a woman. One with a glittering butterfly and a wide neckline and one to a tight fitting sexy thing
  • Dyed a t-shirt, a couple of swan feathers and a summer dress (that started as a mock-up) navy blue. The swan feathers turned out metallic grey.
  • All of these things were lying on the todo heap in our hobby room. The heap is not gone yet, unfortunately. There's Matthijs's pants that need mending, a summer coat that needs new sleeves, a bathrobe that will become pants for Matthijs, a pair of trousers of which I forgot what I wanted to do with it and a Very Synthetic skirt that needs a bottom layer of something natural to be wearable.

    Even though I did all those sewing projects I still had no time to work out my serger, which would make working with all my synthetic fabrics a bit easier (I hope...). I plan on using the serger on the big Get Rid Of The Synthetic Stuff project, which will clear out my stash of fabrics and make room for nice natural comfy fabrics.

    But well, first a whole week of work again. On Saturday we might visit my dad if he's at home and in the evening we go to a birthday in Utrecht. Sunday should be free... And tonight a movie!
