I need help choosing the lace for my wedding dress.  I have it narrowed down to essentially two different styles.  Although the one does come in a beaded and non-beaded option.  I can see both styles working, but with very different looks when we are done.  I'm torn.  What do you like better?

Sadly, I think the time has come to make my journal friends only.  If you want to read it and aren't already on my friends list post a comment and let me know.  Thanks.

It's been a little odd not to have faire right now.   Life moves on and I'll be going to MIRF in a little over a week and a half and then we have Stronghold in the beginning of October.  So I guess it's not really over.   Clothes for MIRF are coming together.  We're going to do nobles in the morning because I've got a present for Caroline and it ( Read more... )

Well, Bristol is over.  I should have written sooner, but I'm still trying to get all my thoughts together.   Saturday was a great day.  I got to hang out with everyone I am close to at court.  Uncle Ho took a series of pictures for us.  For now I've got a couple of them up on myspace.  He got one of Jay (Mildmay) and I that is absolutely priceless ( Read more... )

We're between squalls for the moment.  The sun is out for the first time in two days.  I'm just hoping we get enough of a break that things can drain and sort of dry out.  Kenosha got hammered again last night.  From what  I heard on the Bristol Board things should be okay.  Should being the operative word.  I'm bored off my ass at work so I'm ( Read more... )

Yep! Today Bristol was called on account of flooding! We got poured on yesterday (more about that later) and it was so I decided to bag it last night and go home for the night.  For everyone who was as MIRF last year...yeah it was more of that crap.  So I'm up and out the door at 6:30, get to site, drop by stuff outfitted in my mud boots and ( Read more... )

If you could time travel what would you do? Surprisingly, I don't think I'd go back to Elizabethan England.  I just don't think I'd blend enough.  Although, maybe I'd put on a mask and try and fudge it enough to get into the Globe to see a couple things.  I think more than anything I'd go see Led Zeppelin around 1974, see The Who probably around ( Read more... )

Another weekend is in the bag. 
Let's see, Saturday was pretty rough in the morning.  Something was just off.  It got better thankfully.  The weather though was beastly.  HOT and HUMID.  Everyone was feeling it.  At the bakery they now know me by sight and start prepping my breakfast--gingerbread men.  (What can I say, they are yummy, not messy, ( Read more... )

My fears have been realized.  It appears the gulls and geese have made peace.  I expect the dive bombings to commence in a couple of days.  hehehe  Seriously though, apparently Canada Geese are a protected species.  I have no idea why, we have plenty to spare.  Maybe they are scarce in Washington DC.  If that's the case I know of about 300 we can ( Read more... )

It seems we've been invaded at work.  There are two different flocks of birds currently claiming the territory by my office--namely the fields right in front of and next to my shop.  Now I'm not talking a dozen birds, I'm talking a flock of geese and a flock of seagulls that are each over one hundred birds.  This morning the geese were on the ( Read more... )
