This and that

frualeydisThe trim I had intended to edge the applique with was to broad and too loosely woven so it looked really bad when I tried sewing it to one of the motifs. So I have to buy some other braid, I might even end up having to use black soutach braid, but I really wanted something else. Since it's 12th night almost no shops are open so that will have to wait at least until tomorrow.
So I have started putting trim on my light purple 1130s dress instead. If I just get a better scan of the pictures that are my sources (a german manuscript of the legend of St. Lucy) I might get a new dress up in the Costume Gallery this weekend.
Right now I'm going to take sewing break and play some Caesar III, which I haven't done for a year or so.
I'm getting more ill again, I just slept between ten and one for no apparent reason since I had slept at least eight hours during the night. I also feel like I have a temperature. And tomorrow my vacation is over and I have lots of work to do.
Last weekend was 80s weekend on MTV Nordic so we watched some old videos with the kids, who like to see what was popular when Rickard and I were teenagers. When they showed Van Halen with "Jump" I told them how much I had liked that song (and David Lee Roth) and then Rickard tells me he also liked it, but in Aztec Camera's acoustic version. I didn't even know that version existed and had never heard Aztec Camera, even though I had read about them in the 80s (Rickard and I had very different musical taste in the 80s, at least the earlier 80s). So he got inspired and dug out his old records, which inspired me to play some of my records too, so for now it's only vinyl in our home. We started the day with the Toy Dolls ("Dig that groove baby" and "A far out disc") and just now my husband started playing Bauhaus. Or record player, which was bought cheaply at the end of the 80s, is really getting bad though and can give up any minute. Now we have to save money for the birth so we can't get a new record player now and getting one cheap is considerably more difficult now that there isn't a big market for them anymore. Well, we'll solve that problem when we have to.
Now, off to imperial Rome!
