In the light stupor / of having just awakened / I conjured a poem / It delighted me so much / I smiled and went back to sleep.
It took most of my day to recover the house and kitchen from yesterday’s festivities.
It may take me another day or two to recover me.
I love cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family and friends (contactless pick up this year) but it really takes a lot out of me.
Onward to the travelling outfit!
This evening I’ve been reworking my documentation to adjust for the changes in fabric. It’s not in it’s final form yet. I have this idea of linking the journey of creating the outfit with it’s intended purpose of being an outfit worn for travelling, for a journey. I’m just not sure how to express that in the documentation. I suppose it would need to be in a narrative form. Perhaps a condensed version of this blog. Intensely condensed. I have it in my head that I should limit myself to 8 pages of documentation. I take this to exclude source images and bibliography. I’m also off down a rabbit hole trying to learn what I can about a lovely primary source for the hat.
I’m still holding out hope that I’ll be able to enter this into A&S Champs.
Partially to speed things along and largely because it is a synthetic fabric, I’ve decided I will absolutely machine stitch the upper/outer of the uwagi.
Tomorrow I cut out the hitoe (green layer). I’m looking forward to getting back to stitching.
