Well, I've made it through another freshman orientation week and most of the first week of classes. That, plus seeing my last visiting family member to the airport (The empty house is very sad!) really took a chunk out of my free time (Basically, I had none!). I finally got some sewing time in last night and made good progress on hand-finishing the seams on the wool trews I'm making. Photos over the weekend, hopefully!
A contributer on the A&S50 list posted this link to some excellent Polish illuminations, including a selection of Cyrillic ones. It makes me want to do some painting, but the sewing must come first!

Oh, dear!
I was given three oop Teresa Wentzler patterns today and I really like them. But I REALLY don't need any more new projects. What's a girl to do? Maybe I'll just start the little one... It's a needlebook. How long could that take?

Wow, she's quick!
Nope, not me. Lady Racaire. The Dragon's Needle Embroidery Guild is sponsoring a new project. I said I would be happy to participate just an hour or so ago in a quick e-mail. Since then, she's put the whole sign-up sheet online and a bunch of us down as volunteers. Pretty impressive!

Yum!
It was wonderful to come home today to homemade baked macaroni and cheese and banana bread. I am so spoiled! Off to sew now....

Evidence
Despite having to work all day today in Sofia, I managed to get some sewing in. Here's trouser proof! They need hems, finished seams, and a waist, but it's a start.

Trews? Pants? Trousers?
Logan's black wool trousers are cut out and about to be sewn. I'm using the same layout (but different sizing, of course!) that I used for Guy's linen trews. Hope these work out as well as the first pair!
Red
No, not the color of my unmentionables, a la Facebook, but rather the color of the really nice wool we just found to trim my heraldic cloak. We also bought several meters of another nice wool in a coffee color and a cotton-linen blend (plain ecru) for shirts. It was lovely to go walking today in the 54 F weather when the rest of Europe is freezing. After we shopped, we had a coffee, then headed home. Now I'm off to sew!!
