Progress has been made!

I made significant progress on the robe last night. I have the outside completed. The lining is cut out and I only need to sew up the sides and then put them together. I'm debating on what type of closure I'd like. Since I want this to be reversible, buttons and button holes will be easiest. I just need to check if I have enough buttons of the same size.

Not as much progress was made on the blackwork as I'd like, but it is an easy pattern. It's also a slow day at work so I might get alot done.

The Projects

Here is the project and deadline list:
First deadline June 9. Before leaving for Lillies
1. Cut out robe lining and finish the robe DONE!
2. Finish three pairs of pants Two pairs already finished. I actually made four.
3. Finish shade fly poles for geteldt Poles have been cut and metal sleeves are filed and ready. Only one was finished.
Second deadline June 16. Return from Lillies
1. Beadwork on an Elizabethan Man's Doublet DONE!
2. Purple blackwork for flemish caul DONE!
Third deadline. Before Warriors and Warlords
1. Finish teaching someone else how to make a Viking bread iron The only forge work I've done since Lillies was making tent stakes. This didn't get done.
2. Sew hoop casings on farthingale DONE! I put in the hoops too.
3. Finish the boning on the new corset and cover it DONE! BUT NEEDS WORK
4. Make new sleeves for Italian worker woman dress and finish the dress. Involves closing arm holes, stitching on lacing rings or putting in lacing holes, drafting a new sleeve pattern and hand hemming the dress I finished the dress, but did not do anything with the sleeves. I decided to use the old sleeve pattern but I didn't get around to that.

Disclaimer: This following post has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with any of my projects. It's really funny. At least I thought it was.
My friend Andreas and I were driving back from Master Danr's house late last night and stopped at Cub Foods. There was some sort of buffet restaurant, probably Chinese. Some of the letters on sign was burned out, so instead of the actual name, Dynasty Buffet, the sign said:
NASTY BUFFET

The First Message

Well this is very auspicious. Not really. It's just the first message. And it's probably overrated. As you might have guessed this is about my projects. All of them. What I'm doing, and not doing and should probably be working on instead of doing this. I have many, many interests. My favorite two are blackwork and blacksmithing. I guess the word "black" might have something to do with both of them. They are both time consuming hobbies and each one requires a lot of attention. I also do alot of sewing, by hand or machine depending on what my goals are for the project. That's enough for now. It's late. I'm tired, and there are projects waiting for my attention.
