Wishlist Update
24 February 2009
On December 02, 2008, I posted a list of my goals for this year.
And I must admit, I’m working quite diligently to complete them, in a timely fashion.
Granted the list is also getting longer, but that is a post for another day.

Here is a status report, to date.
- A High Necked Smock with built in ruffs, circa late 1550’s thru the early 1560’s.
This goal was altered. I realized that I did want a separate suit of ruffs. The smock its self is about 85% finished, needing fasteners and a hem. The ruffs are hemmed and trimmed with lace. They need to be gathered into the neck and wristbands.
- New Stays and Farthingale
These have fallen as a priority. I am putting them on hold as my existing undies will work just fine until after Scarby. They will survive a few more outings.
- My Moroni Doublet Project
I have finished the Jerkin Buttons, and Now I am working on the 36 toffee colored buttons for the doublet. My rattail for the trampunto came in yesterday, so I can start working on the doublet in earnest.
The blog will be very heavy with Moroni traffic in the coming week, as I begin the month leading up to opening weekend at Scarby.

- Forepart and Sleeves-
I finished decorating the gold damask forepart last night, and began on the sleeves, as I am keen to have a hand project to work at on week nights, when I can’t let the sewing machine hold me in its thrall. I think it will go really well with the two taffeta gowns I have planned.
- The Blue Clouet-
This is on hold till after Scarby. I have other plans, for its sister, that have trumped it. But that
deserves a post all of its own.
