I have been spending a ridiculous amount of time sewing these two pairs of french knickers. I suppose part of it has to do with the fact that I am hand sewing the lace gussets, and doing nice french seams and rolled hems… I’ve been working on them on and off since Friday. I think they are turning out really pretty. I hope other people think so too…
I have a bunch of plaid brushed cotton to make lumberjack-inspired panties out of with bits of Chantilly lace. And, on my most recent trip to Fabricland I found a beautiful piece of crinkled cotton with a vintage looking rose print on it. I can’t wait until I have time to sew it into a nice peg-top skirt or structured shrug or something.
Today has been another wonderful day, and I think that the common thread between all the wonderful days I’ve been having is that they coincide with the days that I do not work. Hmm…
I love my days at home. I cooked Dan breakfast this morning and was sure to break his yolks as is my usual habit (though not his preference). We watched a movie and I snuggled with Oliver. I made 99 meatballs and put some in the crock pot with sweet and sour sauce
! I’ve thoroughly been able to enjoy my messy little kitchen lastley, baking bread and slow-cooking everything! I’ve browsed vintage sewing patterns, and hummed and hawed over fabrics… It rained most of the afternoon.

I had the best day I’ve had in a long time today. I got up early, picked up Oliver from my parents and visited with my dad for a little bit, came home and made Dan bacon and eggs before he had to head out to work. I did pulled pork in the slow cooker, and have started two new pairs of chiffon french knickers, each in slightly different styles.
I also pulled out my mom’s rolled hem foot, and I am in love. I want everything in chiffon! French seams and rolled hems!
After dinner Dan and I took Oliver out for a walk around the block, the weather wa
s perfect, my day was perfect, everything was pretty perfect.
s perfect, my day was perfect, everything was pretty perfect. I thought I was having a hard time adjusting to being in a new town, even though technically it’s an old town for me… today made me remember why I made the leap… now if only I didn’t have to return to my day job tomorrow!
I even managed to fit in a two hour nap with Oliver this afternoon… I can’t think of a better way to spend a day.
Dan and I just got back from Camping and a wedding at the place of my initial failure in life… Trent University!
It was nice to go back and re-visit it, though I felt strange walking around there, I hardly remembered it at all.
On Sunday I decided I would sew a 19th century style bonnet. Here is my first progress picture – I have completed the shell, wired and all! I’ve always wanted a nice bonnet… perhaps I’ll bring back the Amish look?
I particularly enjoy the ruffles.
I moved, then moved again, and am now in a beautiful apartment, surrounded by parking lot, with Dan and Oliver, happy as can be.
And I’ve been sewing… and today, dying fabric. And, shopping for a new computer. And, while bored at my new job, working on the business side of Ohhh Lulu Studio’s and zombie screen play. I’ve been busy.
I have a love affair with Linen.
I think I have officially become an adult now. I am going to see a financial planner with Dan on Wednesday. I wonder what he’ll say when he finds out we have no money?
I hate moving.
Today, I slept in, packed a box, am going to go to work, coming home at lunch to help my brother load up his van, back to work, come home, pack some more,

I am so anxious and tired and overall cranky, I could possibly injure someone today.
Also, it’s freezing and all of my warm clothes are in Orillia. FANTASTIC.
