I apologize for the random order of posts. I miss this man, I sincerely do miss him. His name is Owain Phyfe and like many North American citizens he died because he didn't have healthcare. He was a bard and sang songs from eras gone by. Thanks to him I learned about music during the Renaissance and became curious enough to learn more about the Renaissance. It lead me to meet many new friends and enjoy many new things and my favorite of foods, turkey legs and rotisserie chicken. Owain said that he would sing at my wedding. It will happen this year or next, but alas he is no longer anywhere where I can go to hear him. With him singing I would have had a Moorish-Renaissance wedding. Now I am lost as to what to do for my wedding. I don't want a boring white dress and a church ceremony. I thought I wanted an ethnic joyous wedding of some kind. Now I will probably end up in jeans and a t-shirt at a courthouse.

Nongshim and Me

Image
So I was really hungry, but I have the flu and so far everything I cook ends in disaster. Then I remembered that I had magic in my cabinet. Nongshim Shin Ramyun Black with No MSG So far these are some of my favorite ramyun noodles ever.  Sick as I was, I heard the angels sing. Not as spicy as the regular spicy pack stuffed me very well and made excellent soup broth.  Contents of the package. Dried package contents and weight. Soup Base #1 Turned the broth from clear to white. Soup base #2 with all the spiciness.  Turned the broth orange with red spots. I had chicken left over from chicken noodle soup with no noodles the night before. The results with almost no broth. The end results and now I can eat and be happy! And all I had to do was boil water. Budget gourmet dining at it's best. Now I just need more Nongshim products to eat! I have no idea why I weighed the contents of the packages, the flu made me do it! ...

Fashion Quest

Image
I have been learning fashion illustration and beginning fashion design at home on my own. I am now ready to start playing with sewing and basic garment construction. I want to learn about pleats . I found that awesome blog that is inspiring as well as informative. There are many pleats and techniques to learn. I will start with the jewelry pleat because it is most often used on petticoats and on skirts. I need to make many petticoats and skirts so I may as well focus my attention on the details needed to produce them.

Easter Dolly Tea Party

Image
This is Ansara at her first doll event, she's sitting on the front left hand side wearing a kimono that was loaned to her by a wonderful person who's name I don't remember but hopefully will soon see again and can then tell you all about her and the other great doll people i have met by joining Kukla's Dollhouse group on live journal. It was the most fun that I have had in years, i can not wait until the next event! This was from Easter weekend, sorry it took me so long to post it... currently we have two projects going for Ansara, the building of a closet or traveling garment box/storage and sheets to cover her bed. I lost the chords to my little Janome sew mini so I can get nothing done until I find them. Next week during my first off week from work the plan is to start simple and small and make her 1 pair of white socks, 1 pair of white tights and one pair of white stockings... i wonder how to make a garter belt.. for those stockings.... any suggestions?
