This is now
It's a little bit amazing and a little bit scary to have goals and life-long daydreams come to fruition. This year is definitely a year of change for me, and I just got news today which cements plans for the next chapter of my life ( Read more... ) -
Wassail on the Ritz - You are all invited!
I'm re-posting from colev since I know our f-lists are not identical. This winter we will be throwing an awesome holiday party at her house here in Williamsburg and we really really hope people can make it!
In Nicole's words:

I won´t spam you all with loads of pictures of the best baby ever, but guys, my brand-new niece is seriously wonderful.
I have to post at least one picture though. I´m head over heels in love with this baby, and am so happy for my sister and bro-in-law. They´re going to be awesome parents!

Hard to believe, but I SEWED. Really sewed. For me.
It's felt like an eternity since I was last able to say this regarding any new sewing project, but I finished my new Civil War day dress!
*cue confetti*
I'll definitely add more trim before I wear it next, but it feels SO good to have something new! I wore it this past weekend at the Mariner's Museum for their 150th anniversary event of the Battle ( Read more... ) -

Short little post...
- Halloween was pretty fun. I put no forethought whatsoever into a costume though, and ended up doing a Regency Vampire look to complement my housemate's Pride & Prejudice & Zombies costume. Even though I'm really not a fan of Twilight, I topped off my make-up with a healthy amount of body glitter. Because what good is ( Read more... )
