And she's back in the game...

Well, I'm still in a lot of pain! But I've decided that it's time to cowboy up and just get on with things :)  After a lovely relaxing weekend that was mostly spent drinking tea (gin) in the garden, I finally finished my curtain dress project.



I love it. I really really love it! Other than taking some measurements from another dress of similar fit, it was done with no pattern and just my brain going 'errrr, what next?' It's a super-light cotton and will be perfect for summer.  It was vaguely 20s inspired in shape, although I don't think the fabric / pattern is 20s at all.  But yes, I think it's going to get a lot of wear :)

The only problem with not doing a pattern is, how am I going to make another one?!

    Thank you! I feel rather clever :) And I love that it's made from old curtains, my first recycled dress!

    Now based in North Carolina, Harris came to think about that "strange new land" as the world we experience through the films that reflect us, back to us.

    Unexpectedly, the title has almost taken on a new meaning in the time of the pandemic. The role of filmmakers to imagine life for us, both the frightening and contented parts, has only increased in importance.

    "We're inhabiting that strange new land of visual stories even more now as we're isolated in our homes," Harris said. "It's not just news we're looking for in stories. We're looking for magic stories to help us make sense of things and help us face our greatest fears."

    For the project, Harris, who is the co-founder of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, connected with independent filmmakers who were making narrative films about or set in the South. Since he wasn't hired by the productions to capture specific or promotional images of the films, he was mostly free to shoot whatever he wanted while on set, including 2018 dramedy "Thunder Road," directed by Jim Cummings, coming-of-age story "Let Light Perpetual" (2019) by Micah and Whitney Stansell, and 2020 mystery "Abducted," by Ben Joyner.
