I read "teach yourself how to... sew/speak Japanese/speak Chinese/stay sane living with children (delete as appropriate)<br /><br />3.Viking Vampires: See above<br /><br />4.Sew-along Lady Grey: I want a lovely soft almost wool-like peacock blue.. not seen it yet but have yet to begin the hunt for suitable fabric<br /><br />5.Cool Girls' sew-along: Ooops, not involved... NEXT!<br /><br />6.Shabby Apple design comp: You should SO do this... Kathleen at Grosgrain not only drew her dress but then MADE one and submitted it!!!

Or would that be silly and uncomfortable and you might look like an outdoor tablecloth? I'm thinking red background with white polka dots, which is just the sort of thing you need in Scottish rain.<br /><br />Glad Eric arrived!Pickled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13314110021040229107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-31073906203502463982010-08-27T19:37:19.801+01:002010-08-27T19:37:19.801+01:00Happy Birthday!

No one wants to know my waist measurement.<br />Still in, though!

I am currently on the hunt for the book The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I havent found it yet, but I have heard good things. Have your read it?

I do love his stuff and as a Scot living in England, it gives me a nicely homesick feeling.<br /><br />I'm doing Gertie's Sew-Along too, as and when I can between other commissions and with a different pattern. I was going to draft my own, but I probably won't have time and Simplicity 2812 http://www.simplicity.com/p-1735-misses-lined-jackets.aspx has exactly what I have in mind - single breasted, princess seams, swishy hem, shawl collar and cuffs. The latter two elements will be faux fur, oh yes.<br /><br />I'm not sure where in Edinburgh you could get waterproof fabric. Mandors might be your best bet, I was in last time I was in Scotland and it had some gorgeous, gorgeous stuff. And the staff are pretty good too. <br /><br />Eric is LUUUUUUUSH. I want to lick him, all over. Repeatedly.<br /><br />Erm, what else...<br /><br />Good luck with the Shabby Apple contest! My brain is too full of dramatic winter coats to be thinking about frocks at the moment, so I shall decline. I'm sure you'll rock it.Emmy Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14665241940139066897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5435738925121167166.post-38319767068854719722010-08-27T14:01:17.693+01:002010-08-27T14:01:17.693+01:00I haven't read New York yet, but I've read...I haven't read New York yet, but I've read London and Sarum, and I'd read anything by him. The sheer magnitude of research done for these books is impressive enough, even without the wonderful storytelling. Plus you'll be spouting arcane and obscure historical references for weeks, to either impress or annoy your friends and family :)crafterhourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16543227880896655055noreply@blogger.com
