mala_14Still trucking along with school stuff. Trying to apply for conference travel awards. Trying to get started on fixing thesis typos so I can submit it and get that out of my hair. Got a short paper written and its accompanying PowerPoint presentation done. Not very exciting really.
Sewing is also less than thrilling. The machine breaking sort of put a damper on things, but I drafted up a skirt pattern to use for my print polonaise skirt. These natural form skirts are way more narrow than I expected; hems are around 95 inches in circumference. According to my calculations, I can easily get a skirt from 2.5 yards of 45" wide fabric. The joys of being short. ;p Anyways, that should leave me with enough to make skirt ruffles, which I was worried about.
In the good news pile is that our weather has turned warm! Even though it's hovering at just about freezing today, overall the weather is significantly warmer than a few weeks ago. Most of the snow is even gone. So spring is definitely here! And other good stuff is that I'm going to see Cinderella tonight. So excited!
