Now I have posted a few pictures taken by the talented Kathy Slatton at Portraits by Daisy last Saturday at VARF. (Look for the VARF 2009 sub gallery) I have more photos to upload, but I need to move files over from my laptop... I should get them moved, edited and uploaded by the end of the week so stay tuned.
Garb wise, I hope to have my "To Do List" of pieces I will be constructing in preparation for the MDRF season posted within the next 2 weeks. Construction is slated to begin on July 3, when the ladies are able to come play assistant/apprentice. I know they are better sewers then they think and my hope is that they can both take an active part in the construction of their own garb pieces this year. Nothing is as satisfying as being able to say you helped make something truly unique and beautiful...
Um, yeah, so I've been absent for a bit... Ok, well a long bit... I developed this little WoW addiction and well, 2 level 80's later, I find I have a bit of time to sew again.
Lady Taylor, Lady Stephanie, our friend Chuck, and I went to VARF on Saturday. As I have not yet made anything new, the ladies wore dresses from last season. I had to borrow one of Lady Taylor's ensembles, one of the unfortunate side effects of loosing weight- corsets and gowns no longer fit properly. I'll post pics later when I'm not at work. Promise!
As for the sewing, that ladies and I plan to begin our new season's wardrobes on July 3rd, so you can check back for construction noted and photo's then.
Well, it has. Doesn't seem like so long on one hand, yet on the other, a lifetime ago... Many things are different and many are not. So I bet you all have been wondering what I've been doing... The short answer is: whatever I want. If I want to pick up and drive to Lady Taylor's to watch a movie, I do. If I decide the night before at 10:45pm to go to MDRF the next morning, I go. If I want to buy an awesome new computer, well I did :-) Point is, I am doing what makes me happy. I did read all the well wishes from all of you and I want to say thank you and assure you that I am doing great. I started playing D&D with a group of great friends and I've developed into quite the computer geek of late. In fact, I've been keeping myself so busy with things RPG and computer related I haven't made much time for my sewing. I vow I will get back to it at some point. Never fear, the creations of Lady Selwyn will begin anew. I can't promise I'll finish everything I had originally intended before the end of the MD season, but I can and will promise I will return and things will be bigger and better than ever for my having taken this extended hiatus. I love you all and thanks again!
In just 8 more days, that would be next Saturday for those of you without a calendar readily available, I'll be on my way to VARF (for the first time ever) for my first faire fix of the year! And that's not the best part!
Saturday, May 31 is my birthday!
Please, my friends, if you see me wander by, stop me and say hello! You will recognize me, and my set (of 2), by the dresses you have seen here. My sister-in-law, Lady Stephanie, will be in her blue gown, my dearest friend, Lady Taylor, will likely be displaying her olive and maize confection, whilst I will be seen flaunting my lovely green and plaid ensemble. I can hardly wait!
