Hello everybody! I'm sorry we're late. We napped a lot yesterday evening. Mom's been very worried about all the current events, and napping helps!
Not much has really changed-- it turns out that Mom's introverted tendencies are a lot like social distancing. The only thing that has changed is her work places. The not-retail job hasn't changed too much-- much more into cleaning. The retail job (which we didn't have to go this weekend) has limited hours.
She did make some progress on Adelaide's Lady Sherlock outfit. She now has a chemise and drawers. The drawers didn't quite work out the way they were supposed to-- they don't fit around her middle-- but it doesn't matter. Now we have to wait for the fabric to come from the interwebs to continue.
Mom is supposed to get out early for inventory from the not-retail job on Friday, so we'll have extra time to write it. (We're supposed to write it beforehand, but sometimes that doesn't happen!) I hope you all have a safe week!
Hello everybody! How are you? I am okay. Mom has decided to start on a new sewing project, so she did something a bit simpler to see if she could do it. A while back, we were watching one of our favorite YouTube channels, Bentley House Minis. On the sidebar, the YouTube algorithm recommended a lady who was explaining how some historical Halloween costumes weren't close to what it really should look like. On a lark, Mom clicked and she's been sucked into Bernadette Banner and historical costuming (even though she has no interest what so ever in actually making anything for herself), and has subscribed to most of her friends' channels and Instagram pages. One of the things that got her interest was that Ms. Banner made herself a lady Sherlock outfit. Mom has got the idea that she will make a lady Sherlock outfit for Adelaide!
She wanted to see if she could handsew something, so a few days ago, she went to the fabric store and bought some red flannel. Adelaide now has some red pajamas! Mom says that her seams aren't exactly straight, nor the stitches small, but Adelaide says she doesn't care! The hand sewing part is still up for deciding-- it didn't take very long, but she says she spent a great deal of time worrying about keeping everything straight. But who knows!
I hope you're all having a great week! Talk to you later!
