One Busy Person

Sorry for the lack of updates people. I've been a little busy getting straight A's in college again.
I've been able to keep up the 4.0 GPA despite everything I do.
So here is what is going on with A&S:
I plan on entering Nordskogen's 12th Night Competition. I haven't decided whether or not to enter the Novice/Amateur or Expert class yet. The corset project is what I am entering. It won't be anywhere near done. I've started the project over, made many improvements and I think that will show when this is done. If it is ever done. I have to schedule in time to work on it every day. One hour a day if possible during weekdays and two hours each day on the weekends also if possible. The bigger problem is that the project really isn't portable so I can't take it to work. It requires an embroidery floor stand which I had to buy since I didn't have one.
I'm working on a new dress for 12th Night. A black silk Italian, fully lined. So far I have the voided velvet sleeves done, the bodice is done. I'm lining the skirts now. I don't see any reason why this won't be done by event time, depending on what I have for classes.
My digital camera broke so there won't be any pictures until I get a new one. I have plans for one, but I'm really not sure what I'm going to be getting yet. There is a National Camera Exchange close by, and I may go trade in my film camera for a similar digital model.
The first Texas Hold'Em Poker Night was fun. I lost $10. I'll post when the next one is if people are interested. It might be a monthly thing though I may not always be hosting it.
