Period fashion! Knitwear! I love the bow. I thought I would continue my pattern of history-related posts on Wednesday. For typewriter fans, this might be relevent to your interests. Or, if you're just a geek like me.Several weeks ago, someone on Facebook posted a quick summary of a new British show called The Bletchely Circle.… Continue reading History Wednesday: The Bletchely Circle

History Fixation
Late last week, Missouri sent me a fascinating link to an article about an article on chatelains. I love chatelains and have been wanting to make myself one, though it's become slightly redundant since she made me my wonderful seamstress' assistant for the convention. Personally, working in retail, I would love to see chatelains come… Continue reading History Fixation
20’s Week Part I: Fashion
Inspired by one of the stories I'm working on, I declare this 20's Week!Have I mentioned that I love the 1920s? I adore art deco, and the fashion--though I'm far too curvy to ever be able to pull it off. Flapper dresses make me look like I'm wearing a very glittery potato sack. It's a… Continue reading 20’s Week Part I: Fashion

She got me a whole box of dresses and… Continue reading Hey! Look over there!
SQUEE!
I just finished making my Halloween costume. The costume was designed, hand sewn, and modeled by me, with photos taken by my roommate, Alice. Brigid is a triple goddess, meaning she has aspects of the maiden, mother, and crone. It is speculated that she is who Morgan LeFay is based off of. I've been working… Continue reading SQUEE!
No Thank You
Dear Fashion God, I know you must be a man because if you were a woman, we wouldn't be having these issues. Why is it that I am a size six in Brand A jeans, and a size 12 in Brand B, while Brand C doesn't make anything that fits me at all? But I… Continue reading No Thank You
