Wedding anniversary

Today is mine and Rickard's wedding anniversary. We have now been married for two years (and together or in love much longer). This will be "celebrated" with me going to the evaluation talks at school for Vendela and Valeria and then my sister will come over to our place so we can sew. Very romantic all of it. In return however, she will babysit Maja later so we can go and see Kingdom of Heaven when it has had its swedish premiere.

sewing and reading

Yesterday I managed to make the ruff for the collar on my new smock and also sew it together and attach it to the smock. Since I have already done all the hemming the only thing that remains to do now is to make the ruffles for the cuffs and sew them. Since there apparently is a holiday on thursday I will have it done at least by then, but hopefully tomorrow so I can do some other sewing on thursday.
Fitting the bodice pattern on my sister went fairly smoothly, although the finished pattern looks quite different than the original. After that I have been browsing the internet, taken a bath and read some from the excellent book Harriette Wilson's memoirs that I bought in one of the 2 £ bookstores in Greenwich. For those who do not know, Harriette Wilson was the reigning courtesan of early 19th century London and the book is interesting and fun to read.
I am tired, but not as bad as yesterday.
