Pink hideousness/loveliness

[frualeydis]

I got the pink wool yesterday. It's a really strong colour, but I think I will look good in it, or at least not too bad. Now I only have to find a good green fabric to line it with. It's a very thin wool with a herringbone variation pattern and very soft so I need to line it with something as soft. Ideally it would be dark green habotai or other silk lining, but I'm still looking for a source. Thai Silks unfortunately only has light greens. Maybe I'll find something in London (Eeeh! I'm going to London again!!!).

My article is finished now, I only need some feedback from my supervisor and then I can send it in. Since it's Midsummer's eve I'm alone at work, I mean as the only person at the whole department, which is really nice. I have printed out the remaining 149 pages of sarahbellem's novel so I can read it when I find some spare time. It was so long ago that I read the first 140 pages though, so I will probably have to start with re-reading them. Now I'm going to take even more advantage of being alone at work and copy some more pictures from Hans Weigel's Trachtenbuch.

You do know, don't you, that silk takes dye like a dream...
