Hat = 1 Writing = 1 :)

A little over 1,700 words today

Of course, this means that I may end up writing more than 20,000 words to get to the place where I want to get to with this, but that’s nothing new. I can trim afterwards. It’s kind of reassuring to know that after I’ve done this one I don’t have to write anything new for a while. I should be getting edits in on “The Wages of Sin” soon, but that’s a ‘change is as good as a rest thing’ I hope!

On the hat front, I managed to get the whole thing finished yesterday evening. I sewed together the scraps of waistcoat and hanky materiel I had left over into three long tubes. I was going to either plait or roll them together, but then I decided it would just be easier to stitch them together into one band. Which I did. Then I decorated the band with little blue and red roses, and pinned a couple of larger fabric flowers onto the side. And now it looks like this:

It’s not very extreme, but then Elriot are fairly sartorially conservative as far as morris sides go, and I think it will fit with the rest of the outfit 🙂

    I went to see Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief today, and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Much glee over the opening sequence with Poseidon turning up in modern day New York wearing something that looked very much like a sailor suit.  I’ve never quite shared the tendency to swoon over Sean Bean that I know affects…

  • Brewing

    I haven’t managed to write a word since last Thursday, and this is starting to get ridiculous.  On the other hand, I’m pleased to say that Away with the Faeries is definitely alive.  I can feel it brewing.  It keeps suggesting things for me to research – the Hindu equivalent of elves, for example.  If…
