OK, I'll have to gather this into one message because time is, once more, scarce.
@ Juno: Never mind for chiming in late; not as late as my pics, I'd say. ;-) And praise is always welcome. ;-> And I know exactly what you mean; when I was still a cabinetmaker, whenever I couldn't come to work due to migraines, the guys would say I'd been boozing. Really, it's as bad or even worse than the hysterical female thing. Fortunately, in recent years some men have had their 'coming out' migraine-wise, too, so now suddenly the illness is treated seriously. And we won't open that keg now, as my godmother says.
@ The Fellow Migraine Sufferers: I used to think it was stress that caused mine. However, the longest time I was completely without attacks were the first three months at Dusseldorf Polytechnics. I was so busy but happy. Then everything was back to normal. I used to think it was certain foods, but whenever I thought I had found the culprit I was wrong. Partners have nothing to do with it (if it was that easy! Hehehe, Pogonip, good riddance of two evils at the same time!) Kid is still too small, can't give her away! Well, with the support of the homeopath lady I'm currently down to a couple of days at 'that time of the month' in various intesities. This one was fairly mild but annoying, the one before that had me down for two days without food and just some water to make the retching less painful. OK, enough details. I really hope that it'll all go away when I'm beyond my reproductive years, but until then...
@ Kate: I had downloaded Child's Play from WG and guess what! A few days later, some Karen of WG sent me a rather personal email asking why I was interested in 'computerized pattern making' and where I'd heard about them. I felt free to tell them the entire story of The Dress and our cooperation, and I included links to your website and our wedding pics. Oh, and as for pics of DD in her dress, I actually found some on DH's computer, just got to get them out of there. I'll mail you the real stuff in all its megabytetical glory some time later. Since you're so busy with Regency and other stuff, I dont think you're in any hurry to update your website.
And why am I again in a hurry? Remember that cat bite? Well, antibiotics didn't help, it's still red and swollen, so they'll have to cut it open again on Thursday, big time this time, with no food and anesthesia and all that, though as an ambulant thing. This will very likely mean that I'll be back to the cast for some time, and now I'm busy gettting as much washing done as possible and getting the household chores done as well as I can. Today we did some major rummaging in the cellar, and DD is at my DSIL's where she'll stay until Thursday afternoon. Clear path, but I sorely miss her. So there, no time for sewing chat. Keep your fingers crossed for me, it worked so nicely when I had my foot done. ;-)
Love to you all,
U.
