I've actually started drafting my own doll dress patterns! We'll see if any of them turn out!

Meanwhile, I've been pretty unproductive on the 'people costumes' front. I really do want to do one for the Simplicity contest, and I've GOT to make a medieval dress for the upcoming Camelot faire in September, but I can't use the sewing machine when my mum's asleep, because it's too loud, but when she's asleep is the only time I HAVE for sewing! Curses, curses.

It's strange trying to read two books at once; I'm currently in the middle of the first group of Lord Peter Wimsey short stories, and the latest Georgia Nicolson book. Quite a combination! Murder investigations and Viking wedding disco inferno dances merge in one's dreams. Not altogether unamusingly, though!
