Wow! I figured it out!

And now I'm not yet sure what to write....esp. since I need to head of to work in a few minutes. Oh well, to those that costume I'll try to explain my current project, or projects later tonight. For those who filk I'll tell you about my incerdible filking weekend at OVFF. If you don't filk, sew, or find me interesting, well.....why in the heck are you reading this! ;)

As promised....my projects and weekend.

First because it's on my mind tight now what I am currently working on:
I am tweaking my Elizabethan Upper Middle class dress. I wore this once to ren faire and it poured, combined with the Heavy upholstry fabric and ployurethane piping farthingale, I proptly had an instant set of panniers and a much longer train. I still got some "OH wow!" looks from paytrons though, and that was neat. After the farthigale gave up the ghost I changed to a much simpler outfit and had fun for rest of the day. So back to the subject the gown and the underpinnings need work.
I am also working on a anime inspired costume, a kelly green pleated skirt and sailor suited blouse. I have a vague inspiration to sell it after I am done, but I als0 need to buckle down and finnish the darn thing
My roommate has gotten some neat brocade and wishes a SCA legal fencing doublet, and a shirt by Dec and I have at least 1 Cloak to make as a commision. Busy busy busy.
On top of that (what do you think on only have 7 or 8 projects at once!) I am creating jewelry, for my business, with a show next friday and hopefully one the 8th, 22, and 29th of Nov. I have lots of pearls, garnets, and some Tormaline, Jade, and tiger's eye to work with. Hopefully I'll soon get a chance to take pic's of all of my new stuff, including some really cool hair sticks I created (pre fap sticks with beads).
The last few little things I'm creating right now are a couple of crossstitches that are rather halfheartedly worked on whenever I need somethng portable to do, and and afgan I've been crocheting.
And soemtimes I write songs, as an oh so subtle bridge to my weekend. I went to OVFF, or Ohio Valley Filk Fest. It was a blast! I got to play my psaltry (and loan it out) with some wonderful musicians, and teach some people. I was called on to sing some, and volunteered to sing, and I think those went over well. Mostly I sang traditional scottish, english and irish songs, as my own peices are not tweaked to the point of wanting to perform them. Some of the more interesting things I saw/ heard: a hammered guitar, a wire strung harp!, a woman from germany (I am sooooo awful with names) singing in english and playing a lute! (beautiful instrument and voice! and she makes harps!), Okla the Mok (Swoon I looove Rand's voice) and Michael Longcor and Cat Farber, a wonderfully wrong parody of Phantom of the opera (Fan boy of the autograph). All in all it was a lot of fun and hopfully next year I will not be quite so shy and will actually get to know more people.
