I have been tagged by [livejournal.com profile] my_stitching to do the following meme. I wonder what you guys would like to know? Do you want to know 8 sewing things? 8 personal things? Hrm...

Tagging Meme Rules:
A . Each tagged person must post 8 things about themselves on their journal.
B. At the end, you have to choose and tag 8 people.

1) I naturally have dark blonde hair and have been dying it black since about 1993.

2) I am married and we have 4 cats. We will not have any children. However, sometimes I dream I give birth to kittens. I always wake up disappointed that it was just a dream.

3) Jason is my second husband. I was married once before in 1997 to a boy 5 years my junior. He was only 20. We married on Halloween in a chapel in a cemetery.

4) At the moment, I am working on my undergraduate degree in history at Temple University. This takes up most of my time, so I don't get to sew much unless I am on holiday. I think I have about 2 1/2 years to go!

5) I have a brother who is 17 months older than me. He is extremely vanilla, and doesn't understand why I make historical costumes. He thinks it's "ridiculous". We don't have much of a relationship, but we see each other at holidays. He'd come to my rescue if I was stranded on the road, though.

6) My sewing area is in the living room of our 2 bedroom apartment, so I don't have much space. I use a foldable cardboard mat on the floor for cutting and pinning. Goes to show you don't need much room to make historic reproduction gowns!

7) I can't cook, and I don't enjoy the process. I like to bake sometimes, though. Mmmmm.

8) I have a MySpace account dedicated to my Victorian personae, the Baroness von Klawschitzle. She is Lady of the Bedchamber to Queen Victoria. On a related note, I have a website with a bunch of nonsense as well as photos of most of my sewing projects here.

I'm having trouble *not* sewing. I made a drawstring purse on Friday. Very bad of me!! I was supposed to be writing a paper!



This was made from "stash" fabric and trims. Black bengaline, white venise lace, black tassel, white taffeta lining. And it holds a lot! Yay! I can put my camera, makeup, and calling cards in this baby!

But I got a lot of work done on the paper yesterday. 7 pages done. yay! Now I have to finish it today to turn in tomorrow.
