Touch me! Part 1.

sister_raphaelI need to do a proper post and pictures and things, but still trying to stop being ridiculously excited that my book has hit the shelves in the Braille Library. Super duper excited about that, but also super duper busy with projects.
The circlets are all together now, and I've glued the linings in. They'll need a little glue touch up where the ends overlap, but that's easy.
Two of the three matching blue, faux silk surcotes are finished now, and I'm not going to attempt the third before the event. My current plan is to have red in the centre flanked by the two matching blue ones. The morris dancers aren't answering their emails, so a bit stressed about using them for the ceremony.
More fun with photos with friends with good results. I've also managed to trawl though old photos and grab a few extra which are perfect for side pages.
Insanely late sewing night when a friend dropped over in the afternoon and finally left with much achieved at 3.10am. It did keep me working on projects and we had a steady supply of delicious cheeses and tea and Disney movies she hadn't seen so the time flew by!
The silk kirtle now has a few buttonholes completed. I gave up and machine sewed the back gore in and will go back and hand stitch it later. I'm so short of time.
Ditto the roses curtains. I'll use other wall hangings for the event and use the roses as a really great bedspread this year. I have three panels sewn together with two other smaller ones completed also. It's quite an expanse.
In other news, I'm tired and need a nap. I've been trying to keep up with posting things on Inst and FBook just to keep things motivated, but really, I am still bouncing about the braille library thing. Proper post to come with lots of info about Braille House and all about them.
