Happy Birthday Mum!
I was totally planning to go to bed early—or at least around midnight tonight. But, here it is nearly three a.m. I am working on my last really major order of the Scarborough season. And it will be done this weekend. We did a fitting tonight, and all is well . . . the outer doublet is nearly done, now. Tomorrow I’ll dig into sleeves and under-doublet. And breeches and codpiece. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pretty much complete things before Friday. That way Friday can be devoted to actually getting ready for the weekend.
Emily picked up the final pieces of her wedding ensemble, tonight. The train came out really well, and she seems pleased with everything. I am proud of it all, and I look forward to seeing it all come together on Saturday. Seems I will be helping she and her mom and her maid of honour, Bridget, and her brother all get dressed on Saturday. That’s right after delivering his order, and helping Doug get dressed, too. It’s going to be a busy day!
I’m off to bed, now. Last night I worked until 6:30 a.m. and then napped for a couple of hours. Not again tonight. Maybe tomorrow night! <wink>
