Long time no see

Well... it's been a long time since I actually posted something here. I've been busy and occupied with other stuff; I've joined one too many swaps on DenOfAngels, and we're also now straight in the middle of our exam period. Meaning, most of my time is being spent sewing, or studying. And of course, the mandatory reading of novels and graphic novels. Mostly graphic novels. An alarming amount of them actually, but what the heck, it's fun. I've also been reading quite a couple of *graphic* novels, but that's an entirely different story.
For the moment I'm reading Battle Royale for Norwegian class (gotta love when you can choose your book entirely on your own, so long as it exists in Norwegian), and loving every moment of it. Damn, it's a good book *like*
I will admit though that what drove me to read it is the fuss about Hunger Games being a copy of it bla, bla and so on. Sure, I'd heard the title many times before, and heard that it was supposed to be good, but it was just one of those books that I wanted to check out but never got around to.
I'll give my opinions on it versus HG when I'm finished reading it, but so far, I have to say I find the writing style of Koushun Takami to be better than that of Suzanne Collins.

Well, but what really I wanted to share today is; I've actually, for one time's sake, had quite a productive day. Meaning, I've mostly been cleaning. First the bathroom, then some cotton brocade, to check the colour fastness, and then some discoloured cotton (I managed to remove ALL the discolouration).
Afterwards, I've gotten started on (another) doll kimono; finished pressing all edges, sewing together all parts in the main part, and lined one arm. I might post pictures tomorrow, because I'm pretty sure I'll be finished then <3
