ok,, NOT I am lucky enough to have a job that I can work from home... I am unlucky enough to have a job that I can work from home... Why do you say? Because I feel like shit today. Icky, nasty, whiny.. no fun... I don't want to miss the time and can't really afford it,, plus I feel guilty,,, So now I will sit here all day, feeling miserable, constantly checking email,, and trying to work as much as I can,, when all I want to do is sleep. Then I will sleep and feel guilty because I should be working,, LOL Guess I am just screwed... Oh wel,, right now I am not feeling too guilty, so I'm gonna take a nap. As for the rest of the day, well we'll see...

OK,, for a first post I guess the best thing to do is to tell you a bit about who I am. I have been involved in Renaissance Costuming and re-enactment for 15 years. I sew the huge Elizabethan gowns, and just about anything else.. I know I am not the best in the world, but I guess I have become experienced enough to scoff at some. I have never done so towards people who are trying. I reserve my ill attitude for those who think they are the best and slam other people.. For them I have no mercy... I remember many times asking some of "them" for advice. They would just sneer and walk away. When I was trying to learn and made my first few dresses, they just tore them apart. They never tried to show me where I could have improved or what I could have changed. They just said I ws wrong. As a result, I have made dang sure that I do not fall in that trap. I will help and teach just about anyone. I don't care what mistakes you ahve made or if you think you can't do it. Everyone has a vision. Everyone has a dream. And everyone can do it! So yea,, I am a bit different than "them". But I do not hesitate in showing them every mistake they make in the perfectness... One lady had such an attitude and everyone thought she knew everything there was about costuming. I hated her form the get go. But when she proceeded to try to disprove everything about my dress, I took her to shreds instead. Every dress I do, I document quite well. So, instead she just showed her ignorance. She kept saying "that was NEVER done!",,, and I would pull out a book or portrait for proof... She didn't find one mistake.... But again, I am not perfect. I cut too many corners and rush at times.. But I will show you my mistakes and point them out if you don't notice them... OK, I have rambled about this long enough... Sorry guys,, LOL Thanks, Caia
