Doodles

Word to the wise: It is a bad idea to make doodles of your costume ideas when you're in class on your notes. Why? Because once the term is done it's pretty much impossible to find them again. (Hmm... Maybe if I spent less time doodling I would have done better in my Finance classes. ;p) Well, I searched through three sets of notes and couldn't find the sketch I was looking for. I found a good many of 18th century shoes, a few chemise dresses, two robe a la francaises, and some Tudor gowns, but not the embroidery ideas I had.

Embroidery ideas, you say? Yes. Why? Because last night I ordered a tambour hook as part of my birthday present from my dad! (Yes, my birthday is February. But it's nice to get a birthday present in April, as I can't expect any more presents until December.) So I am on a bit of an embroidery kick and I had two nice ideas I doodled on some notes. Now I remember one, but I think the other one was better and I can't remember it. Darnnit! Oh well.

In stays land, I am almost done binding the top. I've been studying for finals, so doing some sewing is a nice study break. I just had a final last night worth 100% of my grade. I am glad that one's over. I think I did alright on it. My next one is on Saturday. And then I'm done! And one of my friends gets back on Thursday from a really long trip he took to Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, so we'll probably hang out on the weekend. Sweet!
