Solvitur texo.

I’m getting hitched in the next handful of months. No exact date — we’re working on it. I had the bright idea to make my own dress. No machine, no problem. I am making it by hand. When the first pattern proved, to my eye, too casual for a wedding, I got another one. Still waiting for it. So I am starting to get a little nervous. Will it get here in time or has it been stolen by one of my less than scrupulous neighbors (which happens with no small portion of my mail)?

In the meantime, I have my variation on this to keep me busy. I am making elegant sort of arm warmers. The bummer is I can’t really take photos and put them online because my fiancé doesn’t want to see any part of my get-up until the day of.
