Catching up and Coming up!
Well 4 weeks ago, M and I drove out to Winchester to take a workshop on making Leather Breeches. It was so cool! We did the great circle route. M and I learned a lot about making them and we are still working on the first pair for him. It is not mentally difficult but it takes time, patience and lot of bandaids. I can not work on them for long ( Read more... ) -

CW was amazing and the weather was beautiful. It rained but only at night and it was dry in the morning. With our annual passes and the hotel close by, we could walk around and if it got to be too much (ie screaming kids), we could escape and not feel like we were squandering money or time.

We made our requisite stop for coffee and headed over the big scary bridge. We arrived at the site and M went off to join the unit as I finished dressing at the car. I ( Read more... ) -
My Fairy Name
Your fairy is
Hemlock Elfwand
She is cheerful and friendly.
She lives close to vixen and badger sets.
She can only be seen when the seer holds a four-leafed clover.
She wears black and white like a badger and has transparent green wings like a cicada. -
Retro Fail
So tomorrow is a girls party at my favorite historical house. However's It's not a historical party, I at least thought I would go retro..... The pattern I used was the all time favorite "walk away dress". It was cut out and sewn together and all that was left was the fastening and the hemming. So I get home and try the dress on... the skirts ( Read more... ) -
