I've had a lovely morning. I finished my Georgette Heyer novel and then roamed around my usual haunts on the internet.
Then I sat up, opened my computer and was inspired by shu_shu_sleeps to take a look at http://www.blogforbettersewing.com/.
I'm nearly ready to get out of bed so I can start on the crinoline, the full gathered skirt and the bolero. I'm a bit torn by the fact that most of this retro gear appears to need substantial underwear and I'm too much of a modern woman to constrain myself like that. I don't think I will, but later today I might make a tunic style overshirt with the silk I bought in Adelaide.
I might not get to that though, I also want to:
Clean Rose's bedroom and set it up for her to work on craft stuff.
Plant basil, lettuce and cooked greens seedlings (that will require a trip to Bunnings, or somewhere similar)
Perhaps I'll also have a go at planting my own seedlings, to replace the lettuce and basil when we've eaten this batch of seedlings.
And a virtuous wife would head to the market for vegies, to allow her husband downtime before his trip to the country and gig. (Also, I might not get any if I don't - he appears to be working on armour)
btw, I'm very inspired by the pictures at American Apparel showing the workers and their conditions.
Also, a tailor's ham just hit my wishlist.
Hah! the way to virtue is to work out what's in it for you - I got my seedlings at the market. That way we got vegies and I supported a small business, as well as avoiding the use of a car. Just as well, I only realised on the way to the market that mr-bassman will be taking the car today so home based activities will be the easiest option.
