Dazed and confused - and excited!

I have been unwell, and also doing an intermittent spring- (autumn) clean in preparation for moving into my new sewing room. These things have meant that I still haven't made a start on my garb for the Midwinter Coronation. I haven't been able to do much hand-sewing because of pain and swelling in my hands and fingers, but I have been spending lots of my spare time looking at Renaissance portraits. Going through my fabric stash has been a mixed blessing - it is very exciting, but now I am even more confused about what style and fabric to choose for the upcoming event! I will have to decide soon, because time is ticking away...
