the toile, the test garment, is completed. it's all only tacked, not machined, apart from the neckline because i wanted to practise understitching the neck collar. i've done another fitting. no adjustments to the toile needed
i was going to take it apart and reassemble for extra practise but with the neck machined it would mean cutting out another toile so i'll leave it at that.
fabric for the actual dress green linen 2 metres @ £7 a metre
toile calico 2 metres @ £3 per metre

i'm a complete beginner at dressmaking. posting photos of progress to encourage myself to continue www.flickr.com/photos/connect2012/albums/72177720305370633/ i'm not making any recommendations ...
These are the sachets I made for my Aunt for Mother's Day--which btw, I thought was today.....LOL. Better to be early.....
When I was a young boy, I dreamt of one day becoming a pilot. My first completed application packet, including military aviation medical, Flight Aptitude Test scores, interview assessment was simply thrown into the trash, in 1975. I was transferred to another unit and reapplied for Army flight training. I was selected for the US Army Warrant Officer Rotary-Wing Aviator Course, Class 78-37, in September 1977. I entered Army flight school, 27 May 1978, as a "Snowbird" and graduated on 23 March 1979. After separating from Active Duty with the US Army, 23 March 1982, I began my civilian flying career, as Commercial Pilot. Between December 1983 and September 1987, I had airline interviews with United Airlines and American Airlines. Back then, they surely were not interested in former US Army helicopter pilots. I recall during my interview with United Airlines the three senior pilots, whom flew during WWII, seated across the table interviewing me were making jokes between themselves about helicopters. I was not selected. It was then that I made up my mind that I would one day fly the Boeing 747, as a Captain. So, as it happened, I went from flying Boeing 747-200 aircraft, as a First Officer to being selected and then graduating from Flight Safety/Boeing, 1 July 1999, from the Boeing 747-400 Transition and Captain upgrade course, little more than 20 years after graduating Army flight school. On 15 September 1999, FAA Examiner William M. Bumpus signed me off, after our successful flight from SEA to ANC. At the time, I did not know how famous he was or anything of his career (obits.postandcourier.com/us/obituaries/charleston/name/wi...). The Boeing 747-400 was the first transport-category jet I had ever flown as a Captain. It was only years later that I flew the Boeing 747-300 and 747-200 as a Captain, followed by the Boeing 737-800 and 737-700 aircraft. My father and mother taught me that I can do anything I make my mind up to doing.
US FAA issued pilot certificates:
• Airline Transport Pilot Certificate Airplane Multiengine Land
• Airline Transport Pilot Certificate Rotorcraft-Helicopter (Instrument) + various Types Ratings
• Commercial Privileges Airplane Single Engine Land and Sea, Airplane Multiengine Sea
• Flight Instructor Airplane Single Engine and Multiengine, Rotorcraft Helicopter, Instrument Airplane and Helicopter
• Mechanic Airframe, Powerplant
Airline Transport Pilot Certificates also issued from Australia, China, Hong Kong, Iceland (validation as a Boeing 747-300/200 Captain), Papua New Guinea, and Taiwan (all as a Captain).

Building work is complete at the new hospital. Rich congratulates Cameron on a job well done while a couple of the builders enjoy one last look at the view from the helipad
So half of the wonky log cabin blocks are done. I think I have about 11 or so more to make ... maybe a couple more if I need to change some out. I'm not sure if I want to make some all green/aqua ones or not. I'll try a few and see how they look. I can't believe how slowly I'm going on this project.
The finished article, more colour and detail added a small amount of shading here and there. I love this view from the 199 steps to the Abbey, it has been photographed and painted so many times, because it is simply a wonderful place to be!

Noa's cottage has (temporarily) been moved to the other side of the patio. We got new neighbours, and the old ugly wall between our patio and their backyard has been demolished. Until there is a new wall, Noa will have to camp in her cottage and a makeshift pen against the opposite wall. She won't be able to play on the patio for a while, because there's a 6m long open passage to the neighbours' backyard and driveway - and thus the public road - when there's no wall.
After weeks of renovation, the downstairs room of the dollhouse addition is ready to furnish. This room served as a millinery shop when the addition was originally part of this house (I was 18). Since it has an exterior door, it may serve as a shop again sometime. I considered adding a fireplace along this wall like I did in each room of the main house, but I decided not to due to space. I regret that decision a little, but happy to have a full wall.
Wall paneling: Bristol board and cereal box cardboard
Doors: left is a faux door - House Works 6 panel interior door.
Took it apart and only used the door and the molding. Right is an exterior door - Mayberry Street Yorktown door from Hobby Lobby
Floor: wide plank House Works
Chair rail molding and baseboards: Hobby Lobby, they no longer carry these styles
Crown molding: from a Miniatures store on Ebay
Door knobs and key hole: Classics, repainted aged bronze
Paint finish: Latex interior house paint (white walls and ceiling "Feather Down" by Benjamin Moore (leftover real house living room paint), and a mix I made for this room (latex interior house paint - white base, nave blue, brown, and gray added). Aged with creme wax with a little Waverly "Mineral" chalk paint added. Dirtied up some areas with creme wax with a little brown wax.

Recently I updated from Nexus 6P that I bought 5 years ago to iPhone 12 Pro Max. A good thing, as the phone died as I tried to reset it to the original condition. Deep from the recess of the phone, images that I took emerged on my new phone. I will try to process them. I am not sure if all photos are mine. I assume that all photos taken by Nexus 6P are mine, as i do not know anybody who has or had this phone. Mostly, I do not know where I TOOK THE PHOTOS, EVEN THOUGH I DO HAVE A DATE, LONGITUDE AND LATIUTUDE.
This is a collage of 2 images, and one appears twice ;-)
This one took a while! I'm not sure I want to do any more large-scale Stackrylics again.
It measure 22", and is made from layers laser-cut from 1/8" acrylic sheet.
It took about 6 hour to glue - 6 fume-filled hallucination-inducing hours.
THIS IS NOT FOR SALE
Say hello to Amelia. I imagine that she's totally jaunty and likes to dance into the wee hours of the morning.
I'm not so great with the stem stitch yet, so I gotta keep trying!

This is my tribute to the lovely Lumpy Golightly. As I looked through her photostream I realised that I could not get up to her standard in food shots, nor do I have any quotes that would work as well as hers so I chose this shot and did a variation...
Can you spot the wierdo, the nutter, the strange person etc etc lol
I had so much fun doing this shot and I worked long and hard on it, I hope you enjoy it...
Here is the inspiration shot
