frualeydisI couldn't start the computer at home when I tried this morning! And I had actually planned to update the flemish gown diary because I had managed to take some half decent photos of myself in the lace cap. But I couldn't ge tit to work, no matter what I tried so it'll have to wait until Rickard comes home from work. Hopefully it is something he can fix. At least he can bend down and look inside the computer which I just can't with this belly.
I have only slept five hours this night and I'm rather tired. It's my last day at work and today I'm defending my "Clothes and gender" paper and I'm surprisingly nervous. It is only people I know, but the paper is one of the central chapters for the dissertation and I feel that I'm a bit sensitive about it. I hope they all like it. My scientific adviser says it's good, but he's always so kind to me, so I don't know if I dare trust him on this ;)
Yesterday I realized that the second embroidery on my cap should be mirrored to the other (pretty obvious if you actually use your head) and I had to do it again. Fortunately there was enough embroidery yarn left and I think they are not too close to each other to get the pieces for the cap. But I don't know, because I never got a pattern fort he actual cap, just for the embroidery. I guess the person who mounts the pieces knows how the exact shape should be. Well, I'll know tomorrow if it's possible to make the cap, otherwise I guess I have to order another kit of material. Doing the embroidery three times has certainly increased my speed though, the first took maybe 12 hours, the second ca 7 and this was done in 4 hours.
