What I’ve done today:

Looked at the pieces of a cross-stitch bag I made 20 years ago, but couldn’t figure out how to sew together. In my effort to finish my sewing UFO’s I have decided to do them by age. After this hiatus I at once spotted a mistake I had done in sewing the shoulder strap together, and when this was unpicked, it is suddenly clear how it should all go together. Duh!

Watered the plants on the balcony and puzzled over a mystery plant in a pot there should only be a rose. I’m very pleased with having a nice balcony, after only seven years. Nils is less pleased.- he is used as having the balcony without humans.

Helped a friend compile a source list over historical corsetry and makeup facts to bust someone who had posted a long faulty article on a FB-group and then claimed it must be true because they found the information on the Net. Le sigh.

Also, worked.

Haha, that is always fun! Good luck with finishing it now!

And yay for a busy day. :)

That source list sounds nifty.

Thank you! Next is an 18th century gown I finished the embroidery on only 12 years ago... :)

There are so many misconceptions about those things, unfortunately.

It's always fun doing repairs and spotting a mistake we can fix etc. Especially when what was confusing suddenly becomes clear!

I bet that historical corsetry source list must've been fun to put together. The subject and busting some chops are almost equally as fun lol.

It's nice, but hopefully I won't wait 20 years with any other projects! :)

It was fun, and will probably be useful at other times as well. There are a lot of misconceptions flooating about!
