Today's bit of sweetness

It is difficult to concentrate on study when there are so many more interesting things to do... like look for pretty pictures for my blog..surfing the net, staring out the window...!

Today I thought that I was going to head to Spotlight for lunch and then meet the husband for lunch which motivated me to pull out some of my patterns and consider looking at sewing some dresses.  Very time consuming and probably not a good idea in exams! 

With my sewing stuff was I think that still remains my favourite text book:  Costume and Fashion, a concise History.  James Laver.  When I got this book I knew I was studying the right course.  It is BEAUTIFUL and the pictures in it - !!!.   It looks like a coffee table book I would see in the window of a bookstore and wish I had it at home.   So today's bit of sweet is...... my textbook.... (yes really).

                                          

   

photos actually from this source as I do not have a scanner to copy my own book....

Another text book that made me happy:

I thought that I was going to become some sewing wiz but alas, that is not the case!  Not enough time in between work / study / procrastination.  Hopefully I will change that and move on from cushions to couture!
