jaelieThursday was great fun. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arioch1970 is running a very good game so far! I'm really enjoying the flow of the game and just over all feel of it. My character is developing quite well and I'm really enjoying the dynamic between the characters, and as always the company is excellent.
Friday was pretty mellow. Matt and I played around on City of Heroes, since they did a "free through Sunday" promotion and we wanted to check out some of the new features. I don't see us going back, but I have always loved the character creator for that game. Heh.
Saturday started out very early with Matt getting up and being in Carrollton by 5am to do some volunteer work. He came back and I woke up while he and a friend were chopping branches from the evil tree that has been scraping the roof of our house. There are still a lot of things that need to be done in our yard, but this rainy season has made yard work pretty difficult. Anyway, after we finished up the yard work, we drove around for some other chores and such, then went and visited friends, then went home and collapsed.
Sunday morning was calm, as it usually is, and after church we headed out to the farm to make sure it was intact after this most recent circuit of storms. It was fine. ^_^
Plus, thanks tojenthompson's friend dragonfly_sidhe, I have had the movie Stardust brought to my attention. Now that looks like a really cool movie! I definitely must see it this August. Whee!
I've also been working on my first 'corset' ever. I'm making a set of Regency stays from the Sensibilty.com pattern. I don't know how historically accurate the pattern is, but it's a good start for me, I think. I've been doing the whole thing by hand (so far). I think it's really helped me understand how the construction goes together, so I don't think I'm insane. :P Plus, I enjoy hand sewing, at least while watching movies and such. I was also able to put together pieces of it while we were in Thailand, where a machine wasn't available. Heh. I only have one more layer to do (it's three layers), and then figure out how to put the bones in. I'm a bit intimidated by that step, since I don't really have a solid grasp of how it works. All the other things I've made have been very, very simple constructions, but this is a good foray into more complex clothes. Ah, well. We'll see. It'll be an adventure!
