Spent an amazing weekend in Hannover with , and as she mentioned in her post, this is the entrance of the campus for history and philosophy of the University of Hannover (or something similar 🤔) of History. We had so much fun imagining ourselves as students there. Honestly, I feel like a fellow student, both in fiction and real life—I learned so much just from talking about all our projects over these few days.

Grateful for the inspiration and new ideas!

Just got my pince-nez adjusted to my eyesight, and wow, what a difference! My outfit feels so much more put together and coherent now. You can see the comparison with my modern glasses in the last pic.

The only thing I need to get used to is the slight wobble, since they just sit on my nose and are not fixated anywhere else. And how they make my eyes look super close together (check out image 3 for that). But honestly, I love the vibe! 👀✨

So close to finishing the first part of my goldwork embroidery! ✨ The lines are still a bit rough, and it's definitely not perfect, but I'm almost there! 🧵 Feeling proud of how far I’ve come. Can’t wait to see the final result and keep learning with every stitch.

Just finished the first part of my first goldwork embroidery! It's the collar piece for the houppelande.
Not gonna lie, it's far from perfect. My lines are kinda rough and maybe a tad too thick. But you know what? I'm thrilled I took the plunge and finally started. 💪
Learning as I go!

After much thought, I've got the design for my houppelande nailed down. It's been a journey, but I'm eager to dive into goldwork embroidery for the first time. 🧵 Wanted to make sure the design was just right before I start. I used and to create this rendering and see if it works the way I envisioned it! Stay tuned for progress! 🌟
