Stupid arthritis, and a new gown

[frualeydis]

I have been really bad the last weeks, especially the week that just ended. Friday, when I should have celebrated (a late) Samhain with my coven I insted spent lying on my acupuncture mat wondering if I was going to become as ill as three years ago. Luckily I didn't, and I am a lot better than that now. Not good enough to work, but I can actually sit up and sew, and cook. Sitting in front of the computer causes more pain though, so I try to stay away from it. I'm on sick leave for a month and hopefully it will get better well before that, since I have lectures to give.

But I have made a new gown and a few silk veils. I have recently become obsessed with 14th century Italian fashions, esepcially from the first half of the century (as proven by my Pinterest activity), and this is the first of what I fear will be many 14th century Italian gowns.

What a lovely colour combination (and a great colour on you!)

Sorry to hear the arthritis has been playing up so badly. I hope it settles down soon.

Lovely gown!

I'm sorry your arthritis is bad, and I hope it calms down soon.

You look so beautiful! I love seeing all of these bright colors in period dress - it looks like you stepped right out of an illuminated manuscript!

Really lovely! The colors are gorgeous and the fabric drapes beautifully.
