Frivolous friday

Yesterday was spent in a very frivolous way. Rickard and I had thai take-away together with Anna and Kristian and another friend called B-M. Since we almost never it take away, we maybe have pizza together with the kids three times a year, but never on our own this was a very special occasion that made me feel very frivolous considering the price of take-away compared to home-cooking. It was really good food too. Then we played Puerto Rico, a board game I hadn't tried before all five of us, before watching Shrek, which was on TV and Rickard and B-M hadn't seen.
Maja was being happy and adorable and I even started on my green silk bliaut since I needed some hand-sewing to do while watching the movie. Before all this Anna had helped me fit the under-bodice for the 1901 reception dress. I had made my second toile that was too small from the pattern in PoF and was feeling a bit frustrated. It is also very hard to do any fitting on oneself while wearing that corset. For one you don't see anything below the bust.But we added lots of fabric over the ribcage and bust area and she pinned it to me so now it fits perfectly. So today if I'm not in too much pain I have to go out and get ca 20 m pink satin bias tape and 10 metres each of two widths of pink satin ribbon + some thin boning and sewing thread in the right shade. This will be an expensive dinner party.
I really should be sleeping some more since Maja is asleep but my body hurts too much for that.

An odd meme-thing

I got this from kiarapanther It's a bit odd, but ( here we go )

Oh, and don't feel obliged to answer, I might even get embarassed by the answers :)

No pink ribbons

Apparently Knapp-Carlsson, the leading haberdasher in town, only had baby pink satin ribbon and only 7 metres of pink shiny bias tape. My sister went there for me today.
Aargh! I don't want to make 20 metres of bias tape myself from the cotton chintz. I hate that and always burn my thumb from folding the fabric while ironing on it.
I'm working on the bodice now and that will probably keep me occupied tomorrow too and I could always start on the under skirt and then on Monday I will see if Nåldynan, the nearest sewing shop has any good ribbon.
