Odori programmes

I've been working busily lately trying to get the bulk of my (very) large pile of odori programs scanned and uploaded and I feel I'm making a bit of a dent!
Here is my Flickr page if you want to check out the latest offerings.
Lately I've added some Kitano odori and Miyako odori and some other magazines/book with lovely photos. I do have many Kamogawa, Miyako and some other bits and pieces to share with you when they are ready.
However I've broken my scanner, again! They don't seem to last me very long  *grrr*

In other news I've bought a summer kimono...
Wisteria I cannot resist it.
Summer fabrics are a weakness too...
Put them together with purple?
Sold!

I will need to alter it as well so I'm looking forward to experimenting with it a bit.
As I didn't bring my kimono collection when I moved, only yukata I've been practicing in those but the two new ones are so stiff with starch that I feel so funny wearing them!
Also I suck with using a hanhaba obi, or at least the pink one I bought.
I don't know if they are all that floppy but it does make things a bit difficult...
