It was a quiet day.  Both at work and at home.  Home was not as quiet as work though.  I went to the library.  I wove.  That is coming along nicely.  I am waiting for an audiobook that I wish to weave to.  I find the background noise is quiet nice.  I made myself a simple dinner since my Beloved was at work.

And I finished a dress.  This dress has been waiting for buttons and buttonholes for almost two weeks now.  It is one of my favorite styles.  My family calls this a frontier dress but it is a bit more fitted then what was first called the frontier dress.  It is a very old Simplicity pattern.  But I have changed the sleeve and length.  I have made the bodice more fitted.  I have also added a collar from my Beloved's frontier shirt.  The best part truly is that it goes to my ankles if not toes.  I love that length.  It will be lovely to wear tomorrow.
