Angel gown mockup progress

I got a little further last night, making some alterations in the zipper seam. I still have a few to make and some adjustments to make to the side seams now that I've added a zipper seam. Overall, I'd say it's going really well right now. I think once I get this next round of alterations made, I can move on to the sleeves, which hopefully won't be too much of a headache.

This mockup is starting to look like it's going to be invaluable for any other LOTR gowns I want to do. I'm totally going to ditch the princess seamed undergown pattern I had before. What I'm working on now would make a great pattern for that, as well as a great pattern for either Galadriel gown. All I need to do is re-cut from the original pattern to get a v-neck for either the Mourning gown or Eowyn's White Wool gown. Tons of possibilities in this simple pattern!

Also, the other day, while Jonah was still sleeping and I couldn't sew (or I'd wake him up), I spent a little time making screen caps of both the Angel gown and Rosie Cotton's Blue Party Dress. I'm not going to try to make the latter in time for ALEP (I'll be doing good to get the Angel gown done), but after studying it, I'm smitten with it now and want to make it. Maybe after Lamia and perhaps in time for Ren Fest next year (would be nice to wear when it's warm, I'd think).

I've been waiting all week to post this!

I made it through my first week of running! Yay! Of course, there's a big part of me that says, "yeah, big deal, it's only been a week, you've done this before and quit." Anyway, here's what my week looked like:

Saturday - rest
Sunday - rest
Monday - 2.53 miles in 38 mins (walk 5/run 5)
Tuesday - 2.53 miles in 35 mins (walk 5/run 5)
Wednesday - 2.53 miles in 37 mins (walk 5/run 4)
Thursday - 2.19 miles in 30 minutes (walk 4/run 5)
Friday - 2.53 miles in 34 minute (walk 4/run 5)

Total miles this week - 12.66
Total miles this month - 15.68
Total miles this year - 36.59
