For the past couple of weeks, I've noticed a trend that is really getting on my last nerve. I'll post a comment (not just here but to other blogs and forums as well) and, for whatever reason, I get totally and completely ignored. At first, I thought no one was seeing my comments and thats why the person who REPEATED THE INFORMATION I ALREADY GAVE was getting so much attention. However, it's been happening in training too. I say something at the begining of group discussion and then a good HALF HOUR later, someone repeats what I said. I've started to point this out in class and the person who repeats it just says "Oh yeah, I'm just clarifing" What the heck? It took you a bloody half hour to "clarify"? No one questioned or even acknowledged that I said anything to begin with and now you "clarify" and take the credit?
Like I said, it's been happening online too. The problem with online is that no one can tell my tone when I say "Isn't that what I wrote up there twenty posts ago?" and I know I'll start a flame war because, for whatever reason, we all turn into idiots online.

I cut out the overdress for my Florentine (1480's..ish) gown. I've only been planning on this gown for two or three years now so I'm catching up. :-) The overgown is a grape-y purple with tannish vines all over it. The undergown is going to be a heavy weight tan jacquard.
( EDIT: Pictures per request of the fabric )

I should have pictures up by tuesday if I'm lucky. Which I'm not lately so I'm going to say Thursday instead... I'm going to use it as part of the Storvik Then and Now A&S at Novice. The Florentine will be the "now" of course; but what should I use for the then "then"?

I've also gotten a lot of progress on all three of the various clients gowns and chemises. I can work on them all tomorrow and might be able to send 'em out Saturday. (Woohoo!)

And then there is the slow embroidery progress on the Helena of Snakenborg gown. I'll have that done before Pennsic 37. :-) The gown is easy...it's the darn shirt! I know how it's to me constructed, I can even do the ruff moderately quickly...but the embroidery....98 strawberries more to go!
