Music in my head: The Landlord's Daughter song from the Wicker man.
"I sing of a baggage whom we all adore
The Landlord's daughter!
You'll never love another
although she's not the kind of girl that you's take home
to your mother!"
Book just finished: Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith. Thank you Evie, it was great! Perfect pitch medieval fantasy with a feisty heroine. (Although I did find her a bit thick in the first half, but that was sort of the point, so it's OK.)
Now I have a really good idea about how Eavan* is supposed to behave at formal occasions, and I will be able to pull it off better. Hooray!
Also reading: Blue Monday; the kids are alright by Chynna Clugston-Major, which is silly/sexy/grossout teen comedy in comic form. Very cool.
Craft: bought dress fabric and patterns on Saturday and yesterday made a mock-up for a fairy costume. It's strapless so will require boning. Erkh!
On the other hand I made the mock-up out of cherry printed fabric that is so cute I'll be able to wear it if I put in a zip and add some straps. I'll look all fifties with a bit of Sex and the City thrown in. (I hope!)
Anyway it turns out that I have room to swim in a Simplicity size 10, so I'll be scaling down the pattern pieces for the Real Deal in green silky stuff.
Dinner last night: Left over pizza from Friday and some toasted vienna loaf with fancey garlic olive oil. Lovely. Strawberries for dessert.
Strawberries are very tasty and cheap right now. I'm loving it!
Current Gloat: I won my first game of Princes of Florence on Saturday. I just had a really good game, it was great. Perhaps wine helps me play?
New idea for a scrapbook: Get another big album and put all in the pages I make featuring photos older than last year, and that will be my "Past" album. Then everything I do about current events is in my "Present" album. I'd do it, except I'm worried I'll have too many albums.**
