mala_14I know I've been kind of AWOL lately in terms of posting. I don't have much to post about because right now I'm pretty much just job searching. In terms of sewing I've been working on a 1908 corset for my next Foundations Revealed article. I'm about to embark on the mock-up stage, but I woke up today not feeling so great so I didn't really feel like cutting it out. I'm afraid that I am coming down with a cold. I watched The Young Victoria instead, for about the third time. :)
I went to an antiques mall with my dad last weekend. It was fun. There's a big, three storey building just jam-packed. I didn't get anything, but I wanted to buy about half the store. Unfortunately, I don't have a house to furnish. After that we headed over to a vintage/antique clothing store. I saw a couple teens dresses, one was a lingerie dress c.1912 and the other was an evening gown c.1914. There was also a gorgeous 1930s wine velvet gown that was labelled as 1915. Silly store! Then we headed down to the local market and bought some random foods for supper. This weekend my dad wants to take me to the art gallery. There is a Norman Rockwell exhibit going on. Should be fun.
In other news, my cousin and his girlfriend just had a new baby girl! She was born yesterday. I'm scheming about knitting her a baby blanket for her 1 month birthday. In Chinese culture, the first month is celebrated as the first year so there's a big party for that. I'm going to try an knit up a sample today and hope that it's not out of my skill range.
