Doing: Making a hood and shoulder capelet thingy; revelling in my newly bought patterns (curses to Lizzie on her bad influence...oh...wait...); looking at the Shield Maiden dress again
What made my day: Finding patterns that will work marvellously; being able to adjust patterns to make my hood; finding the right trim
What bothered my day: The prospect of work tomorrow; icky weather
