It's been such a long time.....

Where the heck has the time gone? Oh yeah, right about the last post, I went into serious study for my test out at the salon, and I've been focused on that ever since. Apparently my SCA life has suffered because....wow....I haven't worked on anything since my sideless surcoat snafu.

Ok so the golden Burgundian of linen screw up has been salvaged. I have decided to recreate a dress that I saw on the Marie-chantal's page, and about the only thing I need to do is to line the thing, and add in the sleeves and collar. I expect I will do this out of velvet or maybe a similar weight fabric as the linen and call it my summer Burgundian. Thank God all was not lost!

The buttons on the sideless surcoat....the fur part is totally salvagable and I plan on putting it atop something pretty. The dark red brocade, however, was totally lost. Ah well, thats what I get for chopping up a table cloth. I should have used actual yardage so I'd have enough. I can probably use the bits for something, probably on Aaron's stuff since he has red on his device. But yeah, gotta find a suitable skirt fabric.

In the meantime, I have found a burgundy velveteen that was screaming out to be a Burgundian gown, and so Ive been messing around with that. The truncated henin of awesomeness has been completed, the mega beaded one, and there has been much rejoicing! Best of all, I plan on wearing it to Lysts and feeling like a million bucks :)

Thats about all for now, I need to get a game plan together and figure out whats going on next. I will write again once Ive found the clue I currently search for.....
