Went to the fabric store yesterday after work. They had 7 yards of only one off the off-white linen blends in stock, so I looked at some other colors too and decided on this (cheaper) green linen blend.
Oh it’s gorgeous!!! Sorry for potato quality; it was a little dark in the room when I took the picture, and I obviously didn’t let is focus for long enough.
So last night I cut out all of the pieces and then pinned them, and today I really want to start sewing. I’m pretty sure that I won’t be able to start on it today though…so maybe tomorrow. Or Thursday. Or Friday for heavens sake. I seriously wish that I was home sewing right now.
This weekend, I went to a Country Living fair in Lebanon with Stephen, his mom, and his oldest sister. I had a good time even though I came away with quite a sunburn on my shoulders. It’s not the worst I’ve ever hard, but I really need to buy some sunscreen for this summer….. Here are a few pictures.
Mostly I just wanted to post the update about the cloak though. Eh heh.
I’m glad and more excited that it’s going to be green instead of white – the historian in me, that is 😉

I know — I thought white would be great for walking around on a hot day, but then thought that green was a more likely color for the renaissance. and it’s prettier anyway, so works out.
