newmoonstarOkay, it went from 90 degrees one day to 50 degrees the next. Where, may I ask, did autumn go? I prefer a little buffer between summer and winter, thanks. My system can't take the shock. And neither can my wardrobe; I had to sit shivering under a blanket in capris and a tank top because my winter clothes were still put away!
Ugh. The doll dress sleeves did not turn out. Well, they might have turned out if I hadn't sewn them on backwards. Ugh. I take this as a sign of defeat. I'm going back to simple dresses that I don't have to make my own patterns for. Ugh ugh ugh.
On the bright side, I've discovered the DVD of a very cute musical from 1968, Half a Sixpence. I can't believe I'd never heard of it before, it's just the sort of thing I would have loved as a child. But I love it now; it's one of those sweet old fashioned ones set around the turn of the century with lots of dancing and pretty sets, and Tommy Steele is very good in it. He's charismatic and endearing as Arthur Kipps, and it's his performance that makes the movie so good, since the songs are rather standard-issue, and I doubt it would hold my interest as a cast album. But the movie is very well made and lots of fun, and I heartily recommend it.
