A dress!


Look! I made a dress! Not the best photo but there you go. I think the dress is okay! My first attempt at dressmaking WITH A REAL PATTERN. I’m not even showing my other attempts. They are the sort of thing that make me cringe when I catch sight of them in the cupboard. Then I remember the time I actually wore one of them. Why did I do that? I don’t know.

Day 38


I wanted to have a recording of me playing in concert practice, but when I listened to the CD, they missed me out. So here are the back ends of my timpani mallets. They have been wrapped with latex and glued. This is so that I can play with the butt ends of my sticks and not damage the timpani skins. There’s also a better tone than there would be if it was left unwrapped.
