Okay, it’s time to get organized. The problem with having a website is that all of my mental costuming ends up in print, so to speak. So I get all excited about one project after another, but don’t actually follow through on them. So it’s time to get practical!

My 1760 robe a la francaise is officially temporarily retired. I’m unhappy with so many aspects of it that I just can’t face it for a while. One of my other current projects — specifically the 1930’s blouse & skirt — is only awaiting a hem to become a finished project.

So what’s up next? Practicality states that it will be the 1875 afternoon & ball gown, because I have almost all of the supplies for it that I need (except a bit more muslin to finish the petticoat and make a mockup). Everything else on my mental list requires some kind of financial outlay, so I’m going to put them off for now.

I’m also amending my list of upcoming projects to things that are REALLY upcoming… so some things are gone and there’s one new one.

Okay! Now I feel organized.
