Viking Puppy!!!!

Yeap, Ginsie is now Viking Puppy! Now properly attired (unlike those Viking Kittens), Viking Puppy will be giving her appearance at Storvik Birthday.

I have a few more photos up so feel free to look at the flickr account. Anyone like it? Don't like? Questions?

A couple of links

Ancient "ghost town" found in Rome. The story really is too cool. Archeologists also think they've found the murder site of Emperor Caligula!!


16th c Middle Eastern art. There are some really great pictures that show the ornamentation of the outfits.


baronial birthday was nice but COLD. I was okay but my fingers weren't. It wasn't the temperature so much as the wind. Miss Ginsie wore her little outfit. I need to put more beads on it....

Probably a no show for Snow White tomorrow.

The dress is almost finished. It's to the point where it might take another hour, at the most, to sew the waist seam and add rings to lace it up. However, this dress is meant for 75 + F temps...not low 60's/high 50's. I do not like freezing. So, I'm thinking the ST:TNG gown with the cloak tomorrow. It's meant for a bit colder given that even my neck is covered. The Snow White gown is meant for slightly warmer. If nothing else, this means I can do some more work on the dress for next year. It did come out rather lovely. It's front opening with shoulder rolls that have red velvet trim around them. I'll take pictures of it eventually.

I think my cousins, my Mom, two of my brothers, Larisa are all coming. My SIL and Marxer might be coming, might not. I have no idea. It should be amusing having everyone there!
