I handed Wonderful Husband the article in Threads about the VPLL 1912 Project. I listed for him all the reasons I shouldn't do it. I'm juggling almost too many things as it is! He made hmming noises in all the right places and thought I should do it anyway.

So I signed up.

Time management skills. I must acquire them. I should study at the feet of [livejournal.com profile] mmouse15, who obviously has a Time Turner, as she manages to do more than seems humanly possible....

Also, have discovered that though Lowe's still sells 1/2" soaker hoses, they no longer carry 1/2" hose menders. Fortunately, Ace Hardware does. And apparently my local Ace has a VERY nicely appointed housewares section. Le Creuset! Also, lots and lots of canning equipment. Including wide-mouthed pint-and-a-half jars, and half gallon jars. I resisted, but good to know those are locally available.

The weekly ritual of ripping out devil grass resprout attempts from among the roses seems to be slowly bearing fruit. There was less grass to tear out this week....

I have to be insane, don't I? I was reminded of the Vintage Pattern Lending Library's 1912 Project by the article in the issue of Threads magazine that arrived today. I'd heard about it before, months ago, taken a quick look, and then forgotten about it. The nineteen-teens not really being my "era" in sewing. (Not, come to think of it, that I really have an era....)

But I went and looked again, and looked at the patterns currently available to testers.

Oh the pretty!

(No, I haven't seen Downton Abbey. Though I do have it; mum-in-law sent us the first season on Blu-Ray. Neither have I gone to rewatch Titanic on the big screen; the ship still sinks. I'm still edging up the nerve to ask my inlaws if either of their families lost anyone on the ship. Mum-in-law's family wasn't from Southampton at the time, so probably not from her side, but I don't know about Dad-in-law's family, and neither does Wonderful Husband, when I asked him.)

I am trying to convince myself that I should NOT sign up for this. I don't even have an era-appropriate corset, for goodness' sake!
