    Home or favorite faire Don't really have a "home" faire, but regularly attend PARF, including Celtic Fling, and will be back to GPRF this year.
    About Me Well, like most people here I am into faire, but I have many other interests in life. Someday I hope to go to culinary school for the fun of it to learn more about pastry.
    Music Anything 80's!!
    Movies Star Wars, Star Trek (especially II), POTC, Dune
    TV CSI, Battlestar Galactica, both Stargates, any reruns of any version of Star Trek, Project Runway, America's Next Top Model (only reality shows I watch)
    Books Pern series by Anne McCaffrey and The Foundation series by Azimov are my favorites, but I'll read anything that strikes my fancy.
    Likes In men: must be funny, like sports, and have some sense of chivalry. In life: faire, desserts, music, sports, and making garb.
    Dislikes Fake, manipulative people who only want to get ahead in the world; stupid people with the common sense of a house plant
    Hobbies Well, besides faire I love to bake, read, and watch sports.
    Vices Buying fabric, ice cream, most forms of chocolate.
    Virtues I have a good heart and will defend and support my friends.
    Heroes Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Bette Midler
    Here For Friendships

    Time off!!

    Monday, June 2, 2008, 07:17 PM EST [General]

    So, I'm in the first week of my self imposed unemployment!!  I quit my job and decided to take the month of June off.  The list of things to do are endless, and I could spend the entire month sewing garb and still not make it through the fabric stash!!

    I uploaded some photos from my trip to London and Paris.  I have about 750 to choose from!  I will make more galleries of London and Paris but I had to start with Stonehenge and the
    Travelling Wench Shirt.  For those of you unfamiliar with the shirt deal, we (members of the IWG) decided to take a wenches guild logo when we travel and take photos of us with the logo.  As you can see, the shirt had a great time in London because we spent more time there than in Paris.  Go check out the photos and feel free to leave comments!!

    I hope to create galleries for the Louvre, sites around London, churches/cathedrals, and Paris.  It was a great trip and I had so much fun in London, I want to move there!!!  I brought back official guide books from everything I saw plus I saved all my site seeing ticket stubs.  I hope to create a scrapbook of the trip with things incorporated with the photos.

    So, anyway, the Potomac Celtic Festival is about 10 days away; June 14th for anyone interested www.pcfest.org  We hope to do well again this year so we can possibly expand to either a night fest or adding a second day.  We have over 30 clans and societies and about 35 vendors (including several new ones) signed up for this year, and we are trying a new local beer distributor.

    Well, time to go work on the "list of things to do" and start sorting out what to sew.  I need to rethread my serger, it has been wonky lately and I can't do anything without it!  Once you get used to having one, you can't live without it!

    Until my plane leave for my London/Paris trip!!!

    I don't know how I am going to make it through the next 3 days without going crazy.  Although I must have done something wrong recently because I fell off the curb today and ended up in the emergency room with a severly sprained ankle!  I thought it was broken, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.  It really could have waited until I got HOME, but it seems to be feeling better tonight after all day ice, ibuprofen, and staying off of it.  It feels better with my sneakers on when I have to walk, the ER gave me crutches to use, which I probably will until I leave.

    Now it's just do laundry, finish packing, and try not to go crazy waiting..... see you all when I get back!

    Thanks so much. I've got six months, and then it'll be much better once I'm out on my own.
