After yesterday I thought I would post a picture of the white oak I use for my stays.... First a pic of the stays:

I blame her!
It's all Katherines fault - I've ordered 7 yards of 10oz wool/silk grey/brown plaid and 4 yards of medium brown tropical weight wool to make my 1850's walking dress. Yep walking dress for May but I think the tropical weight will be nicer than most of the other weight/fibers out there. Right now it looks like a plaid skirt and a solid jacket. I'm ( Read more... ) -
makes you think
Have you ever noticed that you think you have a ton of research/info, etc. but the second that you go to try and find something specific you can't find it? Yeah - it's the 1855 walking dress. My brain is telling me a nice jacket and petticoat - I already have the corded petticoat - over and under petticoats, shoes, corset (well, it's an excuse to ( Read more... ) -

Believe it or not - You can get to snow from Las Vegas within about 30 miles. So Twila, Katherine and I had been planning on playing in the snow for several weeks now - but it kept snowing so hard that we couldn't make the drive (snow tired required). Today we finally it made it up there. Compleaty wet and sloppy but we got to take a fantastic ( Read more... ) -

There was sewing this last weekend - a new tropical weight wool skirt and then finishing the cotton skirt I had started a week or so before. I need to track my shift pattern from Sewing Central because I haven't seen it yet.

So they finally had managment forum at work yesterday. In other words, we were going to find out how bad the economy was going to be on our jobs. Boy was I relieved that it looks like we won't get a COLA raise this year (we normaly get about 3-6% raise a year to adjust for the cost of living) but we will still get merit raises. And they are ( Read more... ) -

So what I've learned here is that I'm terrible at posting - almost as bad as uploading pictures. I have been around - and back alive. Not too much on the crafting front. I've started a spring skirt but then we got a cold-snap. I'm perfectly fine with it - and this weekend I'm going to try and finish that and make one of the tropical wool skirts ( Read more... ) -

yeah, so I haven't posted so much lately. Not too much on the sewing front. I finally cut out and started a spring skirt - then it got cold. As in last week I had a training run of 15 miles - it was 45 degrees and raining. Then this Saturday looks to be a little drier but more of the same.
The cold is almost gone. I have to love that z-pack. -

I think Fashion Fabrics Club/Denver Fabric can eat my shoe. Do they not know what they are selling or maybe they should email you that the fabric you want is sold out!
