Going Plaid!
Well, I decided to take Chara Michele's advice and go with a plaid version of the recent Very Easy Vogue shirt. At the same time, I made an animal print... I think it's giraffe, though sometimes it just looks like a mosaic pattern. I did the ties for the back instead of hooks. Haven't put on the cuff snaps yet, but I'll get around to it one of these days. J snapped these hurriedly a few minutes ago; it is too cold to hang out outside in just a shirt. Yesterday was very nice, high 50s. I really can't complain about the weather at all, since it is like in the 20s in Minneapolis. Even if it snows every day until June, the weather here has still already beaten my old haunt. Did I tell you that when I came home after a windy day in Minnesota my face would be covered with red raised welts where the wind had tortured it? I thought I was allergic to something in my face gaiter for a while, but then I realized that no, it was just the wind trying to kill me.
I hope you all had a great turkey day. J and I went to The Fireplace and had a wonderful meal. The Fireplace is supposed to be one of Boston's Romantic Dinner Places and it was certainly that. I highly recommend it for a fancy celebration dinner (or just a date) with your sweetie.
In skool news, I am finished with a draft of the first chapter! Actually, I started on the third chapter in the book. I just have to clean up my footnotes and send it off to my adviser! My father not-so-secretly suspects that I have been slacking in my work since I've been sewing so much. He should see what the other bloggers turn out! They are so much more productive than I am. Also, crafting time is when I can do my "thinking" work. Everyone needs time for deep thoughts to mull, right? Speaking of mulling, I think it's time to make some spiced cider... Off to do research (aka play WoW :)

I really like both of those shirts! So cute! Now I am thinking I need to make something for myself in plaid... hmm a skirt might be kind of cute.
(I know what you mean about the weather... I use to live in Minneapolis and am now living in IL. It really isn't too bad here when you compare it. Although I am still not a fan of snow & cold weather:)
