Ugh.

Oh sure, since China did it, Burma should do it too?

This makes me so angry. I don't like the Chinese communist government but you've got to admit at least they are handeling things with the earthquake devistation. They are doing as much as they can and asking & recieving help. They declared a 3 day mourning period because people need a break to mourn. Burma is doing it purely for the PR and that very very clear.

Library Thing

I added all the books I have downstairs...I think.

http://www.librarything.com/catalog/jubileel

It's a good sized library so far. I have a ton more upstairs and I'm sure I can get it past 200. I think a good chunk of my books are still over at Mom & Dad's. Most of those are Sci-Fi related.

If anyone lives nearby and would like to borrow any of these books or just take a look at them, please just ask. If you need a picture or page scanned, also, just ask.

Dress progress

I started sewing the partlet. I really did. It took a bloody hour to get one inch of the ribbon sewn on correctly. Um...yeah, no. That's when I came up with plan B. Here is a picture of plan b. What exactly is plan B?
Plan b is, rather than sewing the edges of the blue ribbon down with gold thread to mimic the look in the portrait, I took a wider, flat, gold woven ribbon and sewed the blue ribbon on top of it making....trim! What I want to do is sort of pin the woven pattern of "trim" down on to the partlet and then sew the pearls on top of the cross sections which will secure the trim to the partlet, not ruin the silk nearly as much (holes! all sorts of horrible holes in the organza from trying to sew that bit on). This lovely plan also takes a LOT less time. I think I can be finished with the partlet by late tomorrow night if I'm good.
Plan B is so much simpler than evil plan A. Plan A was just evil...
