This is what happens when the temp outside start to resemble "preheat to..." parts of my cookbooks ;-) I'm taprooted on the couch with NPR and the cat, running with pixels.... see what I mean??

Various updates / corrections (see the nav bar on the left) and a few new pages:

With this heat, I am seriously thinking about just doing Roman for Pennsic. I expect to come attack your brain soon ;)

Amen! Now that I've worn my first Roman garb in hot weather, I am pleased to report that not only was it extremely comfortable, but it also garnered several compliments from others! (And yes, I do plan to post pictures of it just as soon as I can.)

[siobhan_sca]

Hooray! Happy to hear that you were comfy & complimented :-D

[siobhan_sca]

Keen :-) I can also come visit? My Laurel tells me that I'd like the C'ville vibe :-) And o'course your parents live near me, yes? Let's coordinate calendars! :-D

I have found that wool (I'm serious) works best for strophia. I have one in summer weight wool and one in wool flannel, and they stretch, breath, wick sweat away and move with me better than any of my linen strophia. (We won't even talk about the yuckiness that the early muslin experiments were)

[reasdream]

can you recomend a good source for summer weight wool?

[rufinia]

I got mine from Master John Maguire who has freaky fabric finding skills.

Fashion Fabrics Club has some that looks pretty good. You want the 100% wool. I dislike the linen strophia now because they don't wick sweat away, and pack into hard ridges that bruise my ribs.

How are you wrapping your mamillare? I haven't had the rib bruising problem. Hrm. Wondering if that's a function of wrap method? wrap width? shape diff btwn us? HMMM.

Perhaps a course in Comparative Roman Breastwraps is in order ;-)

:-D **much love** and a deep glee :-) Miss you! *hugs*

Have you seen anyone use this as a motto / war banner? I am partial to my "I like pancakes and ducks!" (cuz, well, I do) but this ... this may be showing up on my documentation ;-)

Near my Martial snippet documenting wedgies.

Heh.
