Good lord, how is it nearly summer already? Hmrrrmmmm... last journal post... November. Nothing like being on the ball.

How are things with everyone? I'm JUST about finished the Master's degree. What a year it's been and though it's just about finished, there is still a good chunk of stuff to do. Anyways, school is boring. Historical costuming, however, is not. Hurhur.

So as things stand right now, I have two major projects lined up for the summer. The first, as some of you know, is a full ensemble for my favourite French Revolutionary. It will be, as stated on LJ, 110% and I am incredibly pumped for the extent to which it will stretch my costuming/make-up skills.

The second is slightly off the beaten path. It's 20th century, it's WWII, it's German, it's Kriegsmarine, and I have to grow my eyebrows out. :D Those are the only details you get for now. Those of you on my LJ know precisely what I'm talking about. But this particular obsession has re-spawned since I started as assistant curator at the city's naval museum last week. The job is fantastic so far though the hour's commute is less so.

Anyways, if everything goes according to schedule, there should be some photoshoots around the end of June. Not sure which will get finished first. Likely the second one as things are right now since I can barely sleep at night with anticipation.

But aside from that, what does everyone else have planned for the summer? I hear of marriages, re-enactments, and other general craziness. Do tell!

My husband has joined a reenactment group for the border reivers and he will be going to his first one this Saturday. Ultimately I may join in. Myself I am going to pick up fencing.|3
:iconcolonelliamross:
Awesome! Glad to hear it! What sort of fencing did you have in mind? I've tried foil myself and failed miserably.

I am not too sure myself but I assume it will be French style. :)

A late entry here, good sir. Granted, now summer has come and gone. Alas, no events this year and I'm feeling it. ::Le sigh:: But, hoping to at least attend an event or two next year, if the Fate so deem it.

Yeah, the summer went wayyy too fast. And I've accomplished pretty near nothing. But fingers crossed for more events next year! :D

Hehehe, Oh, amen to that! Praying and hoping for that, too. Tis an addiction we do NOT want to be rid of. ;)
Here's to next year... may we be blessed with plenty of fun events!
