OK, so keeping up with the postings has been a little more time consuming than I thought. Bad bunny, no cookie for you. But I got the embroidered chemise completed in time and also completed my husbands gold doublet! Good bunny, go to the fabric store and see what you can find as a reward. Yes, I know I'm supposed to be in fabric jail, but it has been a really rotten day (I had to go to the DMV, this took two hours and I had to reduce the office manager to tears before they would give me my car tags, but it's not my fault that they can't send the dratted things to the correct address, I only moved here 7 YEARS ago) and then I had to work late to make up for it, ugh it was a Monday for sure So there I am in Hancocks (who is having a huge sale here in LR) and there it is, this sagey/olivey green brocade fabric that just screams HELLO!! I'm on the 50% off table, I'm even pretty period and you really want to take me home. Well I picked it up and carried it around and then decided that, if there was enough to make a whole Elizabethan than it could come home with me, so I go to the table and measure and there are 7 yards of this stuff. So I decide to go look for a contrasting color, and there it is, a rust silk under woven with green silk that matches (and yet contrasts at the same time) the brocade perfectly(and 50% off as well), plus a whitish green colored taffeta to line things with (at $1.45 a yard). And since it was all marvelously on sale, I could also afford the matching thread for both colors, some new sewing needles, the ribbon to match the brocade and 31/2 yards of off white cotton lace for trim and still pay all of the bills and eat this week. So instead of all of the projects I mentioned in the last post, I am going with something completely different.
And on that note, I'm going say that Jen Thompson at Festive Attyre and Melissa at Sempstress have truly inspired me to make a completely different dress than any of the ones I had planned. These two ladies are the ones that got me addicted to this in the first place, I am doing a rust silk underdress/kirtle type thing with the green brocade overdress with hanging sleeves. I have POF by Janet Arnold (goddess!!) so I'm going to use the sleeves and skirt from Pfalzgrafin Dorthea Maria von Sulzbach gown in POF and make a kirtle with tight sleeves to go under it. I am going to have to think really hard about the bodice and collar, I'm not sure that style is going to look good on me, so I may have to research a bit more for alternatives. I already have the Elizabethan corset and a corded petticoat cut out. So I'm going to go sew now and throw fabric in the washer. If anyone is actually reading this, I'm hoping to give updates tomorrow on progress. And Jen, if you ever see this, I'm HOOKED on the TRF too and I think we may have actually seen part of your wedding:>)) If it wasn't you, than it was someone who looked just like you. I am hoping that we can meet sometime in the future, we are not getting to go until the last weekend this year due to work and hubby's traveling schedule grrrrr.
And for my own sanity, this is the next dress I'm doing, hopefully for Kingdom A&S in January. Let's all hold our breath because I also have to finish tiling a bathroom before Thanksgiving. Sorry that I'm using link instead of pictures, but I want to go sew rather than figure that out right now.
Later,
Alliessa

Hi I am trying to find out what sites, similar to limewire, but in the book department are readily used by students for the illegal download of textbooks. I am doing a research paper and really have no idea what they use.

I bought a new Kodak ESP 5250 printer. It is a very good printer, especially the wi-fi printing. It is about one month old. I do not print that much, and right now my ink is depleted. Is the kodak printer really that fast when it consumes the ink? Yes, I do not print at the highest quality always. Sometimes I use the draft or just black and white. I saw this printer at the commercial at television and it says that it does not consume much ink. The ink is cheap though, but it runs out very fast. So community, are the kodak printers like this?
