stuff of the weekend
Aug. 3rd, 2008 10:35 pmSpent large portion of afternoon and evening finally getting off arse and making sundress that I bought the material and pattern for last saturday. Now just got to put the lining band on, put in the zip and hem it.
As advised from last time, went down a size from what Simplicity said to make for my measurements, and it fits.
Weekend spent being lazy. Really lazy, since I really could have done more than cutting out the material yesterday afternoon, but the sun called, so I spent most of the afternoon reading The Economist in it. Sadly not quite warm enough to sunbathe.
Really need to poke Discworld stuff and re-make the Conina skirt - plus see if there's owt else I need to tweak on that costume. I'm not doing a Maskerade entry this year unless inspiration strikes at the very last minute, so all I need to do for that con is figure out what I'm taking, and figure out what books and cloth I can haul up.
Sent the Peter-post-war fic off to be beta'd. need to figure out some more of the one-where-they-stayed. Written a few snippets - Calormene intelligence reporting back, them discussing precisely what to do with Caspian to make it look like he's not completely shut out while they train him up to something approaching *useful*, and just started one where the ambassadors have got their orders on what do after the dust settles and are very tentatively talking to the new rulers.
Oh, and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jamjar and megolas? The Harbour View Cafe (the one we had the last brekkies in, the one outside) had an explosion with their deep fat fryer yesterday. Scalded a couple of waitresses and brought the fire brigade out.
