Everyone has to have a plan....
5. Cooking. Am completely inspired by Smitten Kitchen and so want to do this and this at the very least.
6. Nevermind the total benefits of having the WHOLE bed to myself (avec les chats), complete control of the Netflix que (girlie historical shows!), and my music playing whenever I want not just on my headphones.
In a way, this is my vacation...

Throwing it out there....
So photos from Summer Siege and the BBB experiment forthcoming (must wrestle camera from husband and upload) and well as the product review for Delights for Ladies of the Ageless Artifice items (loved/really liked them all ( Read more... ) -
Who's been slack? Uh, yeah that would be me....
so I should really get off my ass and get sewing again because I have been TOTALLY lazy about it. So projects for June include:
- Blue sash for BBB (will probably crank out 2 of these since I have the fabric and it's always good to have a spare)

Presents waiting at home!

I let myself get talked into these things....
So as mentioned previously, I'm working on the new more historic faire that will be in Sebastopol in September. What I'm also working on is the costuming manifesto for the lower/middle/merchant classes - which is an amazingly fun project in itself and I am thrilled to be working to improve something I love so much ( Read more... ) -

Because I'm a mad woman apparently....
and because 2 of dear friends want to have a snarking weekend party, I'm diving into 18th century costuming with abandon (and with the hopes of getting something wearable finished by the 2nd weekend of June). So color/design wise I adore this strawberry dress:

May Project - Bohemian Bathhouse Babes
So now that we've survived SRS (photos coming soon), it's time to start thinking about my next sewing challenge. Luckily, hsifeng my partner in crime, and I are going to work on putting together linen shifts for the Summer Siege's Bohemian Bathhouse portion of the event.

Well that was interesting to say the least....
Finally feeling a bit recovered from the SRS weekend - photos will follow, the Tross Games went amazingly well, and my frau dress got thoroughly broken in with everything from mud to hot coals, so now it's officially clothing.
