And the Shitith Hits the Fan...

One book.

All it took was one book.

My entire Meyer dress to date, is wrong. (Yes, I whept a little at this - and swore a lot)

I got the $5 book from ebay I ordered Holbein - The Paintings - Complete Edition by Paul Ganz.

It has a couple of close ups of the dress in true size.

The blackwork is all counted and jagged, not smooth so all my patterns are wrong.

The collar, the most painful part, is on green fabric with only, only yellow bias stitching and outlined in blackwork with little blackwork hashes in the green sections.

Well, at least I got it now, and not later.

I am putting it all aside until after the November conference. Cause this sucks.

Break from project...

Ok, so I need to take a break from the Meyer Dress project, for much of the month of October. I work friday and saturday nights at a local haunted hayride as a witch and that takes up some time.

The boyfriend is also home until Sunday night so no work happening until then anyway. ;)

I am working on an aoa for Crown Tourney on Nov. 3 and I am stitching it. Though it isn't the project it is on the linen I had on hand and thank god I used some of it, cause it sucks and I am going to get a different kind for the blackwork for the dress. That should be finished sometime next week.

I also volunteered to help with the heraldry for crown so I will need to work on that the next two weeks.

Then work kicks in for our big conference November 12-15. After that I can start on my dress again. I was told I couldn't bring stitching to the conference this year. Which sucks. I get up at the butt crack of dawn work my ass off, be nice to people and then don't get to take a 15 and stitch a little? F%*#!$% bs I tell ya!

Also I am doing the favors for Wars of Roses this year! I am so excited! I have a couple of plans. We will see. :D

I do have some more updates on the dress. I will post some of the stuff I already did on here shortly.

Now it is time to get back to work...busy...busy...busy
