Christmas dress
Nov. 13th, 2010 06:35 pmSO life has gotten a weeee bit busy lately. Example: I went in to work today at 6am. I left work at 3. I shall return to work at 8 and probably leave at 10...
My STL Cindi has injured herself in an as yet not completely clear way. She has a doctor's appointment on Monday to really determine what's wrong and until then is under strick doctor's orders not to go anywhere near work. This leaves me holding the store together as we get into our super super busy season. If you ever wondered if people still make their own Christmas gifts the answer is YES yes they do...
Also I've got a huge pile of christmas gifts to make, decorating to do, cookies to make, pies to back for thanksgiving (that's assuming I get to go home because Cindi is back)
Now that brings me back to my developing Victorian Christmas plans. And I'm left making a choice. I COULD still put my energy into knocking out a dress. I still have several weeks and several days off, BUT is it worth it? I could just wear the blouse of 100 pintucks, a lovely tree shirt cape, my muff and gloves and say I'm 1904 christmas instead. I do really want to do a Victorian Christmas dress, but I want to do it right. And I love the Holiday season so much I don't want to take the fun out of it by over stressing me. And at the moment my creative juices are more interested in decorating and making fun silly christmas projects and gifts.
So I think I'm calling the Victorian Christmas as a nothing new event. And I'm okay with that. It's more important to me to have fun with my friends and NOT make Rob crazy by having a frantic last min frenzy of dress making.
that is all. :-)
