I finally finished a sewing project that has nothing to do with the Civil War!
I just don’t feel that the picture does the skirt justice, but it does show the pattern of the fabric well. The skirt hits just at my knees, and is a full circle – so it really twirls when [...]

What’s the best summer job you ever had?
You know, I never really had a classic summer job. But I suppose my favorite ‘job’ during the summer was helping my Aunt Christine pick veggies in her garden.

Oh man – I’ve got a great one! So, [...]

Chan, a very good friend and knitter, honored me with this.
Here is what she posted on her blog, as to the meaning …
“This is a brand new award and I have the pleasure and honor of spreading the seed, watching it grow. I hope it finds [...]

So, our Civil War group made the Washington Post!!! There is a short article on line, and you can find it here.
I’m not in any photos, but they did publish a little bit of my interview (end of the second page.) How cool is that? So, it’s okay that they spelled my last name wrong. [...]

Describe to me your favorite lounging clothes.
That would be my gray jersey knit pants from New York & Co., a t-shirt, a pair of hand knit socks, and my hapi coat that I bought in San Fransisco year ago.
If you promised to [...]

This weekend’s event at Brentsville Courthouse was a total success!!! I think Georgia said the final spectator count was around 500, which is very good for a small living history/skirmish event. While the guys trained and displayed up at the Courthouse, we ladies were down at the Haislip House demonstrating how ladies lived during 1861. [...]

Do you recycle? Why or why not?
Ok, no. So go ahead and hate me now. We only have trash pick up available.
Would you rather be a pirate or a prince/princess?
Pirate all the way! I’m way to fierce to be a princess.
Are you into astrology? If yes, how does it affect your [...]

Every Sunday I read the Post Secret Blog. Check out THIS ONE. It’s so very true, at least to me.
Also – HAPPY EASTER! I have to work this year, but that’s ok. I hope everyone has a wonderful day, full of family, friends, and great food!
This is my charity knitting/crochet project. I'm trying to raise as many hand knitted items as possible for the homeless/near homeless in my area.
