another 11 p.m. photo

it just seems to be the trend with this project!

that is largely because the knitting (at least on these items) is easy enough that I can do it after 9 at night when I'm starting to wind down

so that is when the pieces are getting finished

the sleeves are complete, the fronts and back are complete -- tonight I'll start in on putting it together so I can pick up the stitches and do the band down the front and around the neck

yesterday I removed the beginning of the binding from all of the cloth paper doll pages, remeasured each one, re-cut each one, re-cut the binding (trimmed it so it was all exactly the same size) -- then stitched the binding on one to the point that it is ready to be pressed and top stitched -- it seems like it will be much better now -- worth the work it took

that was about as much as I got done -- for some reason my lower back decided it was time to hurt and I spent quite a bit of time in the recliner putting heat on it -- I'm still aching this morning, so I'm not sure just how much I'll get done today -- the washer and dryer are running as I type this, but there may not be a lot more than that and some hand work projects -- we'll see
