getting ready

"Oh! what hours of transport we shall spend! And when we do return, it shall not be like other travellers, without being able to give one accurate idea of anything. We will know where we have gone – we will recollect what we have seen." Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen

All models are ready for their showing. Patterns are tucked away to go out for display. I spent the day (and evening too!) out with my Mom and Grandmother trying to find something lovely and light to wear on Sunday. The initial plan was for Mom to make me a dress, a Jane Austen dress, and she still is, oh she is!, but it didn't get finished in time and I didn't want her to push herself so we spent a day of shopping here and there and found something delightful for the occasion. Wouldn't Miss Austen love Talbots? Oh my what a fancy of linen and color to behold to oneself there.

Should you find yourself in my region this fine Sunday, be sure to stop in at In Stitches Needlework! I'll be there 12:30-4pm; chat Jane Austen with me and see the models and charts. Today my brother made the frame for my new release, By the Ocean with Jane Austen, and it's ready. I'm ready. Till then.
