Yes, I'm still around. Been keeping busy, that's for sure. Did a lot of sewing for Dragon Con, which I'll do a post or two on here soon (with pictures!) and I've been doing more sewing since I got back.
Decided instead of wishing I had an apron whenever I cook, and thinking I should go buy one, that I would sew one instead. Been working on it here and there as I have free time. I'll have to post pictures of it when it's completed.
Also been researching Victorian fashion. A couple of us are talking about doing steampunk costumes next year and another girl is thinking of sewing a Victorian costume.
Since I've spent most of my sewing years drooling over Tudor and Medieval dresses I had to hunt down info on Victorian dresses. And now, after seeing some of the designs, I'm drooling all over them!
Not sure what I'm going to do for Halloween this year. mari_posa21 had invited me to a Loli group trip to Chicago, but unfortunately I out grew or got rid of all my Goth stuff several years ago and am lacking the extra funds to either make and/or buy an outfit for the trip.
However, I do have Halloween off this year and will be making the most of it since it is my all time favorite holiday. :-)
After some debating, I also request my birthday off. It falls on a Friday this year and I am bound and determined to do something for it. Now just got to think of something!
