Last week, while not a perfect week (none ever is), actually saw completion of "things".
"You mean, follow-through?"
Exactly.
I made it my goal to finish, truly finish, a few things I had started weeks or even years ago. And I did.
First, I finished off my new corset (that was the most recent project):

Then...I finished a pair of socks I had started several months ago. (No pictures)
And I finally got that last side and sleeve sewn up on that sweater I started in 2012; finished knitting the pieces to in 2015 or early 2016 and had mostly assembled in mid-2016. After all that, I'm not even sure how well I like it...

Yeah. Over-sized....short-waist...and the sleeves are too long!
What's more, I finished up the baby dress I had started in February:
Then I scrounged up my blue CW wash-dress and added a few darts so that it now fits properly:
I added two darts in the front and two in the back. Required ripping the skirt off and reattaching it, but it was well worth it.
In between times I kept the fire burning, hauled wood, made as many water runs to the basement as necessary (we are looking forward to having the RO water run back upstairs one of these days), tickled the keys on the piano, and even hauled my cello out of the case for the first time in a couple of months.
By the end of the week, I had also made a new petticoat (I need to put a tuck in it to shorten it up--for the third time. I apparently didn't eyeball that hem to perfection...) and gotten my new CW dress's bodice drafted and the mock-up cut out. I planned on stitching that up today, but I've been running on slow today--what with daylight savings time (what a joke!) and the snowy weather and haven't done much un-computer related besides making lunch, washing dishes, making two water runs, stoking the fire and hauling wood, and writing a letter. AND...now it's time to make supper! ;)
