When they say hot...they mean HOT
So, I've been meaning to get to the gym for exercise. I really don't enjoy any of the cardio machines and so I figured I would take some classes, however whenever I would looked at the class schedule, I was less than inspired. Well, I thought to myself that I had liked Yoga (years ago when I took it at a studio) and I thought, 'why not.' So, ( Read more... ) -
It's a Mess!!!
Well, I have decided that my sewing room needs better organization. Right now it is a mess after working on my Estrella projects and I just haven't had the desire to go in there and clean up. Problem is everything is hard to get to and hard to put away. I have too much garb and costumes in general (Strange how a good majority of the garb is Eric ( Read more... ) -

So, my shoulders are aching and causing my arms to ache. I don't know if I slept weird or if I might be coming down with whatever bug is going around...but I can say that this sucks.
In other news, I finished my smocked apron. This is my very first completely hand sewn garment. (I figured I should start that on a small project). Anyway, here are ( Read more... ) -
SQUEEEEE!
I just heard back from the museum that houses the possibly 14th century extant hat and they sent me a four page brochure describing it. She also said there was a felt makers report and asked if I wanted to come see the hat. Don't I wish. Le sigh...someday. -
Something new
...Well at least for me. As I was messing around on the internets, I came across what is believed to be a blocked felt hat from the 1350's. This is a quite exciting find for me since I hadn't come across it before. I am constantly looking for extant examples of headwear and most of them come from the late 16th century, so something as early as ( Read more... ) -
Singing and Sheep
Today I went for my first singing lesson and found out that I am a true alto. She (my teacher) was quite impressed with how low I can reach and commented that I had a very wide range. I had a blast and I am really excited that I am finally doing this. My entire family is musical and can sing and have been trained...I was just not really ( Read more... ) -
Whoa!
I am in LOVE with smocking!!!! I'm down to my last rows of honeycomb smocking on my apron and talk about a lot of bang for your buck! I couldn't wait, so I pulled out the threads holding the rows that were done and and wow!!! I now can't wait to finish. I figured out that it has taken me about 4 hours of handwork and I have about an hour left ( Read more... ) -
Opinion's needed
Okay, so in prepping for my felted hat class in April, I am looking for more pics that look to have felted hats and I ran across this...in the following picture there is a woman in a green hat and I am wondering if you all think it is a felted hat, or a dyed straw hat...

Home again
Well, Estrella was great. Even with the rain, the cold and the mud, it was really nice to have a low key war and just spend time kicking back with friends. The shopping was pretty good and I was able to get some new square toe shoes...very German and I love them! After we got back into OC, I got to spend a couple days with my family before I ( Read more... ) -
