Christmas Cheer!
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was wonderful, despite a small setback. Lots of laughter, good food, way too many presents and my first white Christmas ever. I ended my work week Wednesday night with a double dance program - got to do a minuet that I like but don’t often do because only two men in the group know it and it’s rather ( Read more... ) -
More happy things
Thursday happiness:- Pay day!
- Being greeted by tail wagging dogs when we got home. Hard to be upset when two big bundles of fur are so glad to see you.
- Decorating our tree. I love using all the ornaments that friends and family have given over the years and ones I purchased at places I have visited. Might not be a decorator tree, but it makes me smile.

Things that made me happy yesterday:
· Our fireplace is working again. It’s a gas fire, not nearly as mesmerizing as a real wood fire, but pretty, easy and doesn’t make as much mess in the house. Flip a switch and the fire is on. Ooooh, pretty flames.
· I spent the afternoon with my sister-in-law and niece doing a bit of Christmas ( Read more... ) -
Let's get happy!
Ah, yes, posting. I had a roll going there for a bit. Three posts within a month. Much better than the three in a year schedule I had been keeping. Let’s see if I can get back into the posting groove. I think I’ll steal jennylafleur’s idea about posting things that make me happy and another friend’s November facebook status updates of things for which she was ( Read more... ) -
Probably no sewing tonight

Ah, grand plans for sewing last weekend were somewhat waylaid by unexpected visits and nice weather. A friend had the floors in his house refinished and couldn’t walk on them for two days so asked to stay with us for the weekend. He and my husband went of hunting Saturday, which meant I could have spent the afternoon sewing, but the weather was too ( Read more... ) -
Looking like a waistcoat weekend
Well, I think all the sewing for the week happened Sunday. As I was leaving work yesterday several friends from out of town called to say they was in town (Colonial Williamsburg was giving free admission to veterans and active duty military) so I spent the evening visiting with them. I did get home early enough to sew the sleeves on. Now to figure ( Read more... ) -
Pretty purple pleats
So this sewing thing that occasionally happens around here…uhm, yeah. Some sewing happens, but I don’t seem to manage to post much. I’ll try to remedy that. Might help me keep focused on the numerous sewing projects that I want to get done by February. I have the Brunswick, two waistcoats for my husband, and a 1805 tunic gown I'd like to get done ( Read more... ) -
Time Flies
I'm going to the Twenty Year Club reception tonight, a first-timer for the annual reception for those employees who have been here 20 years or more. I can't believe I've worked here that long. Funny, I got a job here in the first place to earn a bit of money while I looked for real job. That was back in August of '89. I have since discovered that ( Read more... ) -

Twelfth Night was a roaring success. Around 65 people attended, all but 3 in costume. (We’ll banish them next year!) Some folks who came last year in modern clothes found, made, bought and borrowed costuming to attend this year in high style. Lovely music, lively dancing, brandy punch, tasty treats, Twelfth Night cake, and fine company in ( Read more... )
