I've been trying to figure out what to make for the annual Ren Faire trip this year for months. Doesn't help that work has been crazy so I haven't really been able to focus on it. My costume mojo just felt totally blocked. So yesterday after inventory was finally over I spent three hours just browsing portraits online looking for something. I contemplated something tudor, I REALLY wanted to make a plate dress but we're talking less than a month here. This puppy is gonna need to go over my existing underwear.  Also I gave myself permission to not hand sew...Yeah I know sad that that requires much soul searching to let go of hand sewing everything. Anyway my tendonitis has been REALLY bad and hand sewing just sounds so painful

But back to the fun stuff. I finally found a portrait that got me excited!( Wanna See? )

I just love the simplicity, the elegance, and hell she's got one great story! I'm not sayin' I'm gonna go play BEING her, but someday the potential is there. Anyone got a toddler I can borrow to be James I?

And so it begins.
