I haven't done much sewing these days, just some rows of basting interlining to the justeaucorps front, and cutting out a new pregnancy skirt - because I spent the week-end with horrible rashes that led me to the conclusion tha tI need less pants and more skirts, and skirts long enough so that I can wear them with overknees or socks, because I can't tolerate tights.
All I've done for the quilted ensemble is buy the batting and take the fabric out of the dressing room. I need to put a lot of fabric back there, BTW. The living-room is starting to look like a fabric store.
I did get some pictures of the red pregnancy bustle dress (and underwear) worn by my non-pregnant sister yesterday. They're not that great. I was super tired (still am, dammit, this Paris trip has been killing me for days !) ad I don't work well when I'm tired.

Well, some things I'm apparently good at even when I'm tired, like creating wicked story for LARP characters. I'm back into plotting mode, and it's super-mega-fun ! I need to do a lot of research and to cross-proof and correlate the stories I have already, but I'm fairly happy ! I had forgotten how much fun I had writing this specific LARP. We have about 13 characters by now, but I need to add at least 5 more, 8 would be great but maybe a little much. So far, I have a lot of twisted stories and personal faults and a whole PILE of bloody corpses. Yay !

(Errr... not real corpses, you know, those would... smell. Litterary ones)

Oh, and I need a name for the LARP. "Teacups" doesn't work. Something involving chocolate and fairies and blood ?

Oopsie, I guess I forgot to go to bed !
It's been an awesome day so far, really. Even the appointment at the hospital ran smoothly, and other than that I dug out my LARP projects, worked on them some and got all excited again, I had a blast at the printmaking workshop doing some very lovecraftian stuff, and I started rebuilding my website with a new, better architecture and updated content*. And was so excited over this I just didn't look at the clock. Oy ! Good thing the kid is at the sitter's tomorrow afternoon, I might have to take a nap...

There's so much work left to do on all fronts (including the right justeaucorps front), but I'm EXCITED !

Other good points ?
- I bought a load of fabric yesterday. It was a bit of a splurge but I wanted some prettiness for myself and my serger. And besides, I needed the batting for the quilted project.
- I won an 1875 Mode Illustrée book for under 40 €
- the scanner is working again
- some really adorable girls sent me all the pictures they had copied from my website before the crash, bless them ! (and lucky me for not forbidding to right-click-and-save)
- the HG has another scheduled meeting for the possible-job-of-his-dreams. I'm not expecting this to be a fast process but his chances are high, I'm really, really hoping he gets what he wants and deserves.
- we got free offset paper and offset steel today
- food was yummyyyyyyy !
- I'm hoooooome !

*I'm not sure the pictures database will indeed be searchable. Due to the computer crash we lost all the work done last week on Drupal and I switched over to the mor euser-friendly Joomla because it's what Lady Darkstone uses, what her husband knows how to maintain and the HG doesn't have much time to help me on this one. We'll see how the search feature works on this one !

We just came back from the LARP - 1920's, Egypt themed, with an old grave and a malediction. It was pretty cool, I just wonder why I ended up with yet another Great Old Ones adept. Do I look *that* crazy ?

For the record, tje dress got done just barely in time, and I'm not really in love with it. It's too much of a bag for my taste. I haven't got any pictures, since my battery died and it's only charging now, I hope the orgas will put their pics online soon.

And now I'm off to bed to be mor ecoherent tomorrow.
