In the beginning . . .and nearly two years ago

Recently my Pastor preached a message and amongst the salient points were “returning back to your first love.”  I’ve had two great passions in my life, both date back to around the same time: God’s Word and period costuming — the former a subject of a different website.

Even more recently, the two have come together and after five years of retirement, I am now making period costumes for a religious documentary (for lack of a better thing to call it).  Yes, I really did make a commitment to “share materially” (pun intended) with the one that taught me some eight years ago and now, God’s apparently going to hold me to it.  I don’t know the final destination for the project, and honestly don’t want to know the details. . . just tell me what to make and how soon you need it.

Now why the blog?  First, I’m going to be making things I’ve never made before so I want to document it.  Second, because of brain-burps in the not quite so recent past, I want to document the work I’ve done — especially the things from scratch — so I can remember what and what not do to again . . . like letting a cute kitten use 5 yard of wool as a bed and then have to vacuum out cat fur three and half years later.

Now, how much will religious references appear in this blog?  As often as the Spirit moves me.  My apologies to my fellow costumers that do not share my faith, but I’ve taken the time to research others and can safely say that giving praise and thanks to the Creator of all for just enough fabric in one’s stash shouldn’t offend anyone: just insert the name of the deity of your choosing and rejoice with me.  Now for theology ramblings, I’ve got a whole domain for that and my cats have their own twitter as well, so the plan is to keep things at the minimal but you know it is who I am.

What’s first? 14th century peasantry and scholastic wear
