| Bio: | I papercraft about early american history. I'm cool like that.
I craft. A lot. I wish I could narrow it down to 'I craft ________', but that would be an audacious lie. haha. I sew, reconstruct, embroider, jewelry-make, stencil, collage, ect ect. The only thing I can't really do is knit and crochet, but, you know how it goes. I'm particularly interested in historical costuming, as it combines my undeniable nerdiness for history and sewing. So far I've only done one major project in that vein, but I'm itching to get at it again. I'm especially into the research factor of historical costuming, mainly because my local resources for fabric are lame and have no selection ;). I'd love to get into reenacting when I get moved and settled, especially Revolutionary War.
My paternal family is heavily steeped in history, which I think is a direct reason why it's so important to me. I plan in the next couple years to go back and try to find the homestead in Iowa and want to eventually make it back to the East coast (the only other time I've been back there was for a school band trip that was...well, I was sick and we stayed at the Newark Airport. That should set the scene for you.). I have to get out of California first though. hahah! I live in a pretty isolated area in Northern California, not so isolated that we have no running water, but isolated enough that we just got our Target a few years ago. Oh yes, and when I say Northern California, I dont' mean the Bay Area, which is about 6 hours south of us. :D
I write. I've never posted anything I've written on here, and am looking into getting a seperate journal meant specifically for that. Hell, the main reason I haven't posted is that since I've been out of school, I've been so damn busy that I haven't really written anything! Eep!
Be forwarned: I post frequently. Usually everyday, sometimes twice a day, but that's gotten pretty rare. Mostly, my posts are about crafts, but I'll also talk about other stuff. You know, blah blah.
If you friend me, I really see no reason why I wouldn't friend you back :D
I've been stamped Louis XVI!
