Is it spring yet?
Feb. 28th, 2010 04:46 pmMy grandmother’s birthday dinner got postponed since all the snow from Friday made it too hard for everyone to come out. And the last several days haven’t been very productive. The cold spread to the rest of the family, too, and mine got worse. -_- Had a couple of days where I couldn’t concentrate so I gave up on trying to do useful stuff and finally played the most recent Nancy Drew game, Warnings at Waverly. I’m feeling better now but still have sniffles.
I managed to finish up Youko but haven’t felt like trying everything on and getting a picture yet because of the cold.
Since the party was postponed, I borrowed a protractor and compass from my brother and spent last night getting started on the designs for D’s artbook kimono. Going to make copies so I can cut out the different sizes and make templates; they range from about 3-5 inches in diameter. I was originally just going to do 3 sizes but looking at the reference again, it seemed like a bit more variation would be good.
Highly unlikely this will be done by AB; I think I’ll aim for Sakura Matsuri. From what’s visible in the reference, there’s already about 26 of the motifs. Considering that I’ll have to make up something for the parts of the sleeves that aren’t visible and the back, it’ll probably end up being around 75 appliques. Plus, I don’t have most of the fabric for this yet and I doubt I’ll want to go out to look for it until the rest of my cold is gone and the snow has melted.
