I brought my tent, which I dreaded putting up and taking down for just two days, but it went up really quickly and ( Read more... )

Amidst all the sickness and work stress I have finally gotten interested enough to buy fabric for a kirtle to wear under my wedding dress from 2003; thus making it a 15th century Venetian outfit. It's a printed silk, which I know is wrong, but at least it's silk taffeta and it's very pretty. I may even decide to use the unprinted side. The deadline ( Read more... )
