Investiture - still smiling

[threadwalker]

1. got big sewing project done.
2. got to wear Ropa and hat again. Got Lance to take pictures.
3. Took new student. ... well, an old student and I took new step. How totally awesome is that? Wheeeeee! I'm excited, overwhelmed and totally at ease all at once. I'm so .... me!

I woke up today smiling. It's a new day with all sorts of new possibilities. yay! What's next?

1. Move the rest of sewing junk into workshop.
2. early period project for spouse (not too worried about me - I already have stuff to wear).
3. Continue on my wave of cleaning and organizing in house. Getting rid of stuff - knick-knacks, books, paper, etc. If I look at a drawer and I can't remember what's in it, I clean it out. If it's not some "household supplies" or essential (like certain electronics), then it gets pitched.
4. Plan Xmas eve party.
5. Side projects - costumes for kids for Boar Hunt. As in - add sleeves to existing outfits.

About that workshop - going out there has been the most amazing therapy. OMG! private time ... alone time ... no one messes with my stuff. I was worried that since it was external to the house I might not use it. Pushaw! Now, if only I could get internet out there .... LOL

You looked great on Saturday.

Yes, you looked great! It was great to see so many people in 16th C dress on Saturday. OK, so as everybody knows, I do not, personally, care for the look of "Germans", but you and Eirannoch (sp?) and a number of other people broke out their 16th C togs and looked very nice. Warmed the cockles of my heart

**stinging from the cruel snub**
**exhausted from the strain of wearing foofey late period stuff**

yes, it was nice to see so many well-tailored outfits.

I'm not sure if you are lumping us in w/ the German outfits - we weren't in Germans either. Those were researched out of Arnold's PoF, Queen Elizabeth's Wardrobe Unlock'd, and Roy Strongs English Icon. I believe the development of that style/cut of ropa is due to the English interpretting the Italian style and modifying it to meet their own aesthetic. It's a great cut, though and I need to make more.

You looked wonderful. I know you were stressing about parts being left behind, but for someone that might not have been 100% assembled, no one else would have known if you had not said something.

Um, no, I was not lumping you guys in with the Germans -- I recognized what you guys were doing, really. :-)

Actually, I have some fabric that I was thinking about doing something similar with. But I'm all Miss Italian these days so I may go that route instead. :-)
