about me
A wife and mother - hopefully not failing at either one!
I don't have enough time to do all the things I want to do, which means my house is usually a mess--just squint, you won't see it so much. Work is crazy and getting crazier all the time. I've realized I have a passion for Project Management (what?! Get paid for being anal and nit-picky?!), but lately it seem all my projects are the extreme long term...think 10-12 years... I keep likening it to being at the conception, but not getting to be around for the birth. I'm finally back at school (again) since my youngest graduated - maybe we'll get degrees together! And oh, I'm tired. Always. Constantly.

So I've been taking an art history class - and Islamic Art History Class - and this teacher is driving me freaking nuts!!

First off, the book is the most poorly written, inept piece of crap I've ever seen! I would bet dollars to donuts that she took a tape recorder into her lectures series one semester, then promptly transcribed the tapes and sent it off to the self-publishing company. There are typos, grammatical errors, duplications of sentences and paragraphs... I find myself trying to... read more

So I'm quite excited. My Dickens outfit is just coming along so nicely! Chemise is done, pantaloons done, hoop skirt is ready for hoops, and the petticoat is 95%. I've used a natural, tight weave muslin for everything so far, and it just has such a nice hand to it! All my lace is cotton crocheted, tea dyed where needed to match the muslin a little better.

Next up - corset. I've got myself signed up for the class. Can't wait. I think I'll probably start on the dress before I get to the co... read more

Nothing like getting off the plane from two weeks in island bliss to a sun scorched, acrid smoke filled hell!! For the past week, we've been cooped up in the house. Fresh air - non existant!! It's been so dark and dreary - it fools your mind into thinking it's cool bay area fog. Until you walk outside and BAM!! it hits you square in the face. Smoke so think you can't see across the yard, and a heat that just absolutely still and intense. Until this morning... ahhhh. There... read more 
Did you have to do one of these? Daughter number 2 is starting on her project, and damned if the advisor told her No.

Ran's heading for the art world, and decided she wanted to make a duct tape dress. Wearable, yes, but more of a sculpture than an ode to a seamstress. There's an annual contest with a $3000 scholarship for these types of dresses - she can't enter, she's not allowed to reap financial rewards from her senior project. So truly, an art project. No. Advisor tells her it's... read more
