The universe is conspiring against me.

I have three commissions that need to be done by the 25th. Number one is finished except for the front edge and hem, which I cannot do until I try it on the customer. She's sick, so I don't know when she'll be able to come for her fitting.

The other two commissions have to have their patterns fitted before I cut the fabric, so I must wait on the customers. I could make the shirt for one of them, but my shirt linen is stored elsewhere, and I'm really not wanting to leave the house today.

Now, none of my customers are going to give me trouble about the deadline, especially since I'm waiting on them. However, I'm in the mood to sew, and I can't finish anything. I don't want to cut anything for myself until I do a bit more research, and I need to make sure the armholes on the Jacobean waistcoat fit (which I can't do on myself) before I put the sleeves in that.

I think I'll go see if I've got any cording to make into frogs for my new Turkish coat that I wore at 12th Night.

I do so wish you would post pics of your work! I would love to see how you put all these lovely things together!

I know how you feel. I'm THIS CLOSE to having Gwen's piece done and I get the death plague. I make a point of not working on orders, particularly those that include complicated beadwork, when I'm sickly - for a variety of reasons...

That's really irritating. I haven't wanted to sew in ages, but now my workroom is temporarily unavailable, I want to - how contrary is that!

You need to get this in perspective . . .

I moved some things in the kitchen that have been bugging me for awhile, since I did so much cleaning during my vacation.

So, now its official. MICE! There is mouse scat all over under the kitchen schrank and the area around Emmaline's food. Something tells me she isn't coming to bed at night because there are other more fun things to do in the house.

I have words that need to be written and sewing I want done and I am going to be in the kitchen scrubbing and hunting for mouse runs, no doubt with an avid huntress right there waiting for me to start something interesting.

grrrrrrrrr.

the more I clean, the worse things get. I should really learn better.
