MIA no more...
It occurred to me that I have not updated this blog in forever. Seriously forever, it still had my maiden name for contact info as well as the facebook link. So what all has happened...I got married, I'm restoring a charming midcentury modest home, and I swaped jobs back to the theatre. So to demonstrate, I'll post a few quick things after the ( Read more... ) -
Update on the impending wedding
I just had to share this here, there, and everywhere. I'm getting married quite soon and have been hard at work on my dress. I'm basing the design off of Princess Margaret's 1960 wedding dress. Below is a photo of my skirt as well as a photo of the dress P.M. wore (taken from google image search, sorry no exact link at the moment).

Well the year is done and overall I'd say it was a success. Here are the majority of things I finished this year, minus the outfits I made for other people and don't have pictures of yet.

Nothing but a list...and maybe a photo
Been a busy past few months for me. I've got a ton of work done on other people's clothes, but not my own. I got inspired tonight though and have a game plan for my projects for the last part of 2011 ( Read more... ) -
A Sneak Peek!
I've got some early shots of my new work ensemble. It's based on a pattern from The World of Fashion in winter of 1852 that I found in Patterns of Fashion. I added the skirting myself and left it much more open than the norm to give it some personal choices. I had it finished enough to wear today for a test drive and it went great!

... that's what I think I will call it for now. I figured I should first give everyone an update (for those of you that are following or care). As you might have read previously, a packet of information was distributed to each concessionaire in Columbia State Park. There were several glaring errors in the documentation of dates. Now that I've had ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I work in Columbia State Park in California at the Mercantile (all visitors are welcome to stop by and say hi if you're in the area). I've been on a crusade to change the bad history that is worn by the women of that town. The state has now decided to step in and "educate" us all about what is appropriate attire for a woman living and working in ( Read more... ) -
already planning and scheming
Here I haven't even technically finished the 1852 summer day dress and I'm off to the races planning more outfits. I had a rude awakening at work when I discovered I would have to wear at least one of those icky work dresses a couple of a days a week still. Mostly this was out of the need to not be so poofy on delivery day and restock day. I ( Read more... )
