Ah, realized I haven't made a real post since 2009. I guess I became wary of too much internet sharing. I have been making discoveries that there are a lot of people in the world, who just are not nice people, some are downright evil and even nice people are not nice sometimes. sigh. Its been a long downward fall from being very idealistic to almost pessimistic. I figure why pour your heart or even your thoughts out just so people can use it as fodder to judge and berate you??
So then I thought that instead of posting personal day to day things I would turn the journal into a Diary for my latest rescue and her story. I was hoping it might help other horses, but then, perhaps not. With my luck it would just bring out all the horse/animal haters out of the woodwork and end up in some online brawl. It has been though my work with rescues that I feel I've really seen the real faces of evil in the world and its been more than disturbing. Its sobering and I feel changed by it.So may or may not at least post some pictures of the journey.
On the upside after focusing almost totally outward I was able to focus inward enough to start a bit of costuming again. Financial necessity dictated that I make a dress for the Regency events I had been attending, so challenged myself to make my first hand sewn dress. Now I am attempting to jump back into my true costuming love and make something from Lord of the Rings. My passion for these stories is what inspired me to start trying to make the outfits in the first place and its nice to revisit that. That was rather a "warmer fuzzier" time of my life too, which of course makes me feel good. The new dress is a much more challenging pattern than the elven potato sacks of olde. ;) But its good to challenge oneself. I am doing princess seams for the first time. whoohoo. Hopefully will post some pictures and after ALEP2 will have something of worth to post here.
Till next time.
