More rain :)

It's raining today too. The park I pass on my way to work which was completely covered in snow two says ago was covered in ice yesterday due to the rain and now there are even bare patches on the lawn. Not many, but still. And the path is only partly covered in ice and has turned into a small brook.

Just because I really should work: a yes or no meme

I got it from armillary

Speech

Maja learns 5-10 new words every day now. She was a slow starter but now she's really gotten the hang of this speech thing. You only need to say a word once and she gets it, both the sound and the meaning (she will be 2 years the 12th of May). She also makes whole sentences, such as "jag vill ha tutte"="I want titty" ;)
And my husband made really yummy pancakes while I took a nap. I love him.

re-making the kirtle

After the discussion with myladyswardrobe some days ago I decided that it was worth the work to take in the kirtle again. So I unpicked the seam that held the skirt and bodice together in the front. Luckily I had made the bodice and skirt as separate pieces and stitched them together so it was easy to sew them together again. Then I cut off the bidice sides, skimming the lacing holes in the bottom and taking more further up. It may be a little too tight in the waist now, but I don't have to lace it all close then. I then sewed the edges together and have started on new lacing holes. Unfortunately I have very little buttonhole silk in that colour at home, so I have only been able to make three tonight. I didn't insert any boning because I wanted to keep the round and soft shape that is seen on the pregnant women. That will make the kirtle useful for german clothing too.

I have also read some more in the Tudor Tailor and I am going to get so many worsted aprons! (I need more kirtles too, luckily worsted wool is cheap where I live). There is one that belongs to my folk costume and I love wool aprons.
