And the weekend is gone ...

Olly and I slept for most of this weekend and didn't get anything done that I wanted to get done.
I wanted to get going on my 1900 Eton Jacket, it needs lining and the sleeves attached but did I do it? nope not a thing.
Additionally I wanted to get the bodice lining done for my new Regency gown and again, didn't do anything.
I guess I have to get going tomorrow morning and also evening to finish at least the Regency gown. Why? Because on December 3rd we have a Regency evening. This time the theme will be Christmas 1805. Need to get holly and mistletoe - I wish I could get it fresh but I doubt I get anything especially as holly is under protection over here, and I just can't walk into a park or wood and get some clippings.
So I wonder how to do them in fabric. I will have a look at forest green velvet as well as dark red batiste. Also I need some sage green satin for the misteltoe branches.
Also I need to get m.i.t.m. updated ... *sigh*

Hey Una,
have you tried one of these deko-shops. They usually have artificial holly, sometimes very realistic looking. There is one in Cologne, called Depot, maybe you have one in D-dorf as well, their artificial flowers are great. In addition, I have seen holly and mistletoe branches in flowershops here in Cologne as well. Call me if you need any help, maybe I can get it for you here.
Btw, I would love to see your dresses, they sound wonderful. Do you have any photos?

Thank you :)
Well I need artificial holly and mistletoe without plastic, it's for a Regency re-enactment. I will have a look at Depot and Xenos, perhaps I can find some stuff where I can replace the plastic stems with something more *wholesome* LOL
