chocolatepotWorking in various short-ish stints, I got the ruffle gathered, attached, and finished. All that's left is the waist channel and drawstring, so I should be able to mail the chemisette out tomorrow. That feels good.
Around lunchtime we all went out to get plants for the garden, and on the way back stopped at the Battenkill Valley Creamery for ice cream. They've adopted the Cold Stone model, which personally I prefer. A warm brownie and hot fudge are much better mixed than on either side of the ice cream, definitely.
Decided I need to reread Girl Genius. It started when I was reading some theories on Higgs the other day, and then I was just wanting to see it all from the beginning again. It's all as wonderful as I remembered. And over the past few years it seems like nothing I read with a strong romantic angle makes me half as shippy as Agatha and Gil.
I also went back to an old pseudo-historical story of mine that petered out when it became a Traveling Quest, which is the opposite of the kind of thing I can write - I have too many things to do to expend my creative energy on a novel I'll never finish. But at least writing an outline that fits more with history and less with fantasy tropes I haven't really considered beyond a surface thought, as well as getting rid of the traveling aspect that I have no interest in (it started as NaNo, I think) will mean that if I ever do go back to it, I have something solid to start with.
