15 rows of cords done. 5 left to go. I will finish this thing today!!!

Thanks to Loren, I watched the first two videos of "Lillie", a movie about the life of Lillie Langtry, while I corded. I'm loving the late 1870's fashions and even used my camera to take a picture of a black and purple gown at a ball for the King of the Belgians. Too bad the pic came out so badly...VHS doesn't pause well!! It looks blurry, or I'd share it.

I keep coming back to the same 1830's dress from this Danish museum. I know I'm too lazy to make it, but what if I'm not?

They even give you a pattern. I just want the bodice section in the front. I don't have to explain why. I tried to type the directions into one of those translators, but it returned nonsense. Jason offered to translate it, and he said it says, "Take a dragon tooth and place it on graph paper". Not helpful, but cute!

In other news, I found this fabulous jet pin commemorating Queen Victoria's 50th anniversary as Queen.



I wish I had the skills to copy it in Femo or something. I really want to have it!
