Here goes

As it says in the blog information, I created this blog because of Etsy.

I have a small Etsy shop with a few of my sewing creations. I make everything from medieval to steampunk, so if you are looking for something for a convention, Renn fair, etc. stop by and check it out at http://www.amsterdames.etsy.com

Yes, that was a shamless plug, deal with it.

Perhaps eventually, I'll have a dress diary or two that goes up here, since I have a fabulous, from the skin out, Victorian Natural Form dress planned. Yeah, planned...for almost a year....did I mention I can also be called "Queen of the Slackers"? I own the patterns, have the measurements done and have actually cut out the combinations pattern. I have the material for them too...yeah...I'll get to that...

In the meantime, I follow some incrediblely talented ladies over at the Truly Victorian forums http://www.trulyvictorian.netfirms.com/testboard/phpBB2/index.php and at Belle Alley http://www.carolinabelles.net/vb/index.php

For a living, I manage a small hobby farm for an eye doctor and many weekends you will find me at dressage shows taking care of show clients. In my spare time, I sew and write.

I also play way too much EverQuest. My level 85 cleric is the leader of the Shatter Ring, a guild on the Bristlebane server. Yes, my geek is showing...putting it away now, no one really wants to see that.

That's all for now and no promises about how soon there may be other posts...I'm a slacker ya know....
