Not bad for a first week. I took care of number 53, and now have a working sewing machine. I also worked on number 27, I am almost done with a chemise; I am also thinking about editing this one, I have less historical clothing then I thought. This past week I also started working on number 7.
This week I will be finishing my chemise, I have some other unplanned sewing to do and hope to cut and start a non fitted dress. I am also planning on doing some reading about period stitches and construction methods, as part of 15. Sewing, garments and fabric will not be one of the 'in depth side projects', it is already greatly researched and not that much of a challenge, comparatively. I will also be posting another poem to my LJ (a realworld friends only account) oh and plan to explain the SCA and medieval recreation to all of you here. There should be something up on Organiclly Yours, as well, in the next week.

Day Zero
It looks a little different around her, that's because Organically Yours has moved. I have not given up on it, in fact it will even be mentioned in future posts here. But on to meat of this post...
There is project, a movement really, to do 101 things in 1001 days. It's about doable goals and a challenge. And because I love a list and a goal, I have signed up. And also because in my world every project needs its own notebook, this is now my 101 List notebook.
There are some categories and things that need a bit of explaining, and I will when I get to them. There will also be more links and info coming.
And if you are looking for organic green living goodness try here.
