 Well it has been a few days and I have now gone tho all my garb, Boy I don't remember having all that  and there was some more mice damage but nothing I can't fix,  I'm thinking of attending a local event here it will be in Sept.  and I'm getting my membership back.  Dear Husband has agreed to help me build some things ;) A few benches and a table will post  pic's as soon as I get them done.  Been watching the BBC 's version of Robin Hood tho not period I like ,The guy playing him is cute ;) Hey !! I can LOOK  I hate to say this I can't wait to go back to work so I can get started on some of these projects, but in the mean time  I'll read and sew

Well today was a hot and sweaty , I went to find my old garb in storage  and after going tho what seemed like a ton of toats I found them all 7 toats  and looks like not to much damage just lost one dress that I can see it was my green velvet over dress :( I like that one too), oh well I'm going to see what I can salvage of it and make the kids something ,I can see I'm going to have fun , Harley as already told me she wants my plaid skirt ,white chamies and waist clincher, She says she wants to look just like Mommy did in my pic's, the scary thing is if her hair was redder she could (shakes head)  now I wonder if any of the garb will still fit ??I know I have gained since I last put this stuff on so after a good washing I'll have to try some on and see, if not that just means new Garb for me Yeppie !!!!! I'm also going to lose weigh I need to lose abut two sizes more I givin up on the pound thing cause muscle is heavier so I'll just go by size  and the start of the summer I was in a 18  now I'm a 16   so I'm doing good I hope by x-mas to be a 14,  So wish me luck

 The other thing I did was find my copy of the Known World Handbook,  I'm going to be doing some serious reading I have been out of it for so long I feel like a newbie ;) and I'll be watching some Scadian type movies with the kids tonight , Don't know what one they will pic ;) but it will be fun
