Today I am sewing, because I decided that I needed a new dress as well as new underwear. It is linen. It is blue. It is machine-sewn, and no, I'm not happy about that but if I want a new dress in time it is a necessay evil. I am torn as to whether it should have sleeves or not. This is a decision I need to make soon, though...

Project Blue the 2nd.

[Waiting out the artillery barrage that is the night of the 4th of July in the kinder, friendlier, accessible-fireworks post-Jesse state of MN.]

Consummatum est. Mostly.

The sleeve hems are not done, because the sleeves need to be trimmed. [Yes, there are sleeves--E pointed out that I was *not* going through the ceremony with my underwear showing, even if I could document it. It is painfully and abundantly clear that he has full custody of the brain this week.] Everything else is finished. Pattern notes need to be made, the sleeve pattern needs to be transferred to the grid stuff, and packing needs to happen. Packing is tomorrow's job.

Next time I decide to try out a pattern tweak while on a pre-event deadline, somebody slap me. Or take my scissors away. Or something.

I need a new user icon that involves sewing. *contemplates* This nifty wolf's head is an ornament from the Cammin casket [destroyed in the firebombing of Dresden.] It might want to be body art.

Alternately, one that involves raspberries. Over a quart just today, the majority of them golden. Cripes.
