>:(

Yesterday my wrist hardly hurt and I was all excited that resting it was paying off and I was fully on the mend and I'd be able to make myself a better Regency dress (old one is too hideous to ever be looked at again) .. and then I went in the basement last night to get my summer dresses, and they were under the stuff that had been in the back of the closet (eg my prom dress) so I had to lift that out of the box, and I wrenched the tendon or something. And this morning it aches. SO TRAGIC.

However, I now have a bunch of summer dresses, one of which I'm wearing today. Now I just need to buy some more tank tops and I will be all set. I would actually like to make tank tops because I have a hard time finding them with straps the right length, but my mother would write me off as completely insane if I started sewing my own tank tops. Also I hate binding edges, and of course my wrist.

:(

Got an email back from ATHM turning me down. It wouldn't sting so much if I got the better rejection ("your credentials are/many candidates were good, but we went with someone more qualified") - instead I got the "no thanks". It sucks, I thought I stood a good chance of at least getting an interview because of my enthusiasm.

Finished the camisole this morning, but then the next gown I'd requested turned out to be a costume - a very good costume, I thought initially that it was just a mucked-with original, but a lot of things didn't add up. I asked about a petticoat, but when she brought it out I was eh, it wasn't bodiced or anything and I wasn't secure on the dating. The last thing I asked for was a gown that only remained as a bodice and hem, which I thought would be a cool thing to show (since that's obviously never likely to be displayed) and which had some great puffing, but the location in the computer was not correct. So I went.

I've been trying to find my egg rings and cherry pitter in Dad's basement, but they just don't seem to be there. There must be another box - maybe in the shed or garage - with all sorts of kitchen stuff. I did find my shift, which I don't really want to wear as the neckline doesn't quite work with my gown ... I could very easily keep it to use on the costume table tomorrow and just use a tank top.
