chocolatepotI finished my chemise! It was a pain in the butt, but I think it's good and with that neckline and those tiny sleeves it should work for anything mid-century I ever need it for. The picture is crap, as usual, but there's something about the lighting in this apartment that makes it impossible ...
I also got a lot of cleaning done today. The handymen came in and started fixing the showerhead (apparently the old one had two pressure-reducers and one broke, and then when I wiggled it around the broken pieces got into the channel and cut off the water) and because I'd just finished the chemise, I started cleaning. Dusted all the surfaces, put the ironing board away, hung up the dresses I took to Vieques, and cleared off my dresser top, which was covered with jewelry. I need to get rid of a lot of jewelry, people are always giving me necklaces and I just don't wear them!
Got the last parts of my Amazon spree today, too - Anita Loos's No Mother to Guide Her and Liza Picard's Restoration London: Everyday Life in London 1660-1670, which looks to be excellently cited and researched, head and shoulders above most "daily life in ..." books, especially since it focuses on such a small time period.
