craftsygirl_24 | Ok, Time For A Long Update!

Pardon me ladies! I have been remiss upon sharing the latest news involving my history/sewing world. Bring on the tea and conversation!

First things first....Let me back up. In July, a trip to go visit my uncle in Florida unfortunately fell through a couple days before we were supposed to depart. I had taken off a whole week of work and was concerned as to what to do with it. A dangerous suggestion was made to make a day trip to Colonial Williamsburg. Of course how do I wind up making this into a big production of an actual four day vacation? Go online, make a reservation for four consecutive days in one of their splendid Colonial Houses. It was an all girls four day excursion of exploring just the Historic Area.....No outlet shopping for these chicks! We visited a few the buildings, saw the accessories exhibit, took a tavern ghost tour, and took turn around a garden during a herb garden tour. I took insisted we enjoy an exemplary historic interpretation of Thomas Jefferson portrayed by Bill Barker. We did some colonial shopping and tavern dining at Chownings and at Christiana Campbell's, my Mom's favorite. One of the most exciting parts though was having lunch with marcine and her mom. marcine looked fantastic as always. As usual, The Cheese Ship was amazing. The most humorous situation involved us walking everywhere in murderous heat because we couldn't figure out the shuttle system. Mom and I did get our needed rest though.

On a more recent note, I finally received my Region 2 copy of Northanger Abbey (2007) version as a birthday present to myself. (After seeing this version, I can not, under any circumstance, watch/purchase the 1980's version. Trust me, I tried watching it at sadievale's house. I basically started to get a migraine. Since I have a three day weekend, I thought tonight would be a great date night involving Mr. Tilney, sewing, and me. Needless to say, I did finally get the side seams completely sewn and bodice pinned. It is really hard to focus watching the fantastic J.J. Feild. Great day! That man is so sweet and gorgeous to gaze at. And, yes, I did see him in Captain America and dragged sadievale to watch it after bribing her with the promise of seeing her beloved Richard Armitage (North & South) on the big screen.

Oh, I must excuse myself so I can eagerly watch this last bit where they kiss. *sigh*

Goodnight Gang!
