Funny that all I can find time to blog about right now is television. Perhaps because this makes for such a short post? Lately I have been really into Emma. (As in Jane Austens Emma.) Now I will admit that when I read the book I had to plow through it and once it was finished I vowed NEVER to read it again. I just did not enjoy it as much as Pride and Prejudice or Persuasion. But I still thoroughly enjoy the movies. PBS ran a new version of Emma several months ago. Then, after several months of Ooogling it on the shelves at Target I decided I'd like to buy it. I wasn't sure I liked it quite so much as the A&E version with Kate Beckinsdale - however, after seeing it again, I've decided it has it's own charm (I am onto my second viewing).
And now I'm moving on to Ooogling a Regency dress. Or at least a pattern for a Regency dress like this. If I ever get more brave (and learn a bit more about sewing) I'll put a post up about the construction of my Regency dress. In the mean time I am plenty busy canning and working on the QUIET BOOK that I have yet to post an update about.
I love the Masterpiece Theater Emma also. I bought it as soon as it came out on DVD. I have watched it twice. I think that dress would look great on you. Have courage. you can do it.
