  Thanks, I think it'll get worn a lot this summer! :)
  Thanks for the luck too, I'm certainly gonna need it! lol

  How ironic. It does sound really interesting, but I appreciate that that's not the point when you're about to be examined on it!
  It'll be over before you know it. Keep swimming :-)
  PS. Two skirts at once from the same pattern. H'intriguing. Do you find that it improves your productivity?

  It is really interesting, and I enjoy it and understand it when I'm reading it but after that? Hmm, evidently my memory is crap. lol
  I just seem to be more aware of each day as it passes. So it's going really slowly, but at the same time is creeping up on me. But yes, just keep swimming, just keep swimming. . .its not the end of the world if I fail after all.
  I find it does, because I (was) doing a step at a time on each skirt. And it speeds up on the second skirt too because I've already done it once. Though the red waistband is slower because of the lace.

  Your skirt is looking fab!!
  Good luck with the exam. What is it you want to do when you qualify? I keep meaning to ask you....

  Thanks :) I have no idea. My course is psychology with child studies, which is the general area that I'm interested in, but I don't have any more specific ideas than that :S
  My independent study next year will be on the theory of the mind, so I should hopefully get to work with kids during that, and might get a better idea of what I want to do.I hope. lol

  Ooooh how lovely! I see what you mean about our fabrics being similar. I am not quite at this stage with my skirt sadly as I had a busy weekend, but I can't wait to finish! I live the black lace trim on the red waistband too, gorgeous! Good luck with your exams :) x

  Good luck in your exams! I feel your pain on two levels. Firstly because I have accounting exams this month, and secondly because I studied psychology too. Are you at masters stage then? One of my old uni friends is studying to be an Educational Psychologist. It seems really interesting but is a lot of work.
  The floral skirt is looking very pretty BTW :o)

  I'm an under-graduate, but hope to get a masters, just not sure what in :S lol It is a lot of work, though admittedly it wouldn't be so bad if I'd started revision earlier. I just keep telling myself I've done more than last year so shouldn't do too bad right? lol
