Just a quick note to say that there's a lot of activity in the Craft Lounge, but very few pictures. I'm much better with my iphone and Instagram than I am with actually pulling out the real camera at a the precise moment that:
The fit is worked out, and I've transferred the changes back to the shell pattern pieces. Now I just have to make changes to the lining and interfacing pieces as needed. Since I altered every single pattern piece of the shell - FBA to the front, raising the armscye on the side pieces and sleeves, and narrow back/shoulder adjustment to the back and collar, plus adding 4" length all around - there is quite a bit of work ahead. These are all normal alterations for me. I think this coat will be epic once I'm done.
- the sun is shining/weather is cooperating
- I am dressed for a photo shoot
- Taco is napping or being watched by another adult
- Phin is available to take pictures (not watching Taco or trying to get other things done)
You see the challenge we're having, yes? These circumstances almost never converge.
Anyway, here are a few things I've been up to....
Mittens for Taco!
Working on my Clare Coat muslin and pattern alterations.

Pumpkin pie experimentation.
The pie did indeed come out loftier and lighter. Some people liked and praised the lightness of this souffle-like pie while others (mostly me) missed the dense creaminess of a regular pumpkin pie.
I'm also mid way thru a mini-Craft Lounge re-organization complete with new furniture! Long overdue! Pictures to follow once things are presentable.
Hope you all had a great weekend! What did you work on?
