A Qajar Christmas

So, your original blogger here apologizing for the fact that the blog has been LONG neglected.

It happens. I did try and avoid it becoming dormant by assigning it to someone else, but she too has a life that likes to get in the way. Yeah.... The unavoidable was bound to happen.

Anyhow, I'm not sure about updates for the other projects, but if I find out, I'll let you know. As for me, I've been working on my own on the side, and I do have some stuff to share. Not many construction pictures - actually, construction pictures are part of the reason I became too busy for the blog. Seemed like any time I started to sew, I'd end up kind of derailed because I had to stop and take pictures of what things were looking like and, it just REALLY added a lot of time to the construction. So instead of finishing in a timely manner, or what I thought was "on-time" in my mind, I was taking FOR EVER. 

Well, for lack of better explanation, I guess it works for other bloggers, but not really me. So, instead I'll regale you with photos that were taken this week for the American Duchess "Winter Wonderland" Photo Contest.

A Momentary Break from Orientalism (And a Move from the Age of Steam to the Age of Diesel for that Matter)

It's been a while since I last posted here. Shame on me, as I was SUPPOSED to be sharing with you the finished entari.

But things got crazy here, and there was that election thing, which meant a day out for sewing and a few hours spent waiting in line and what not. Well, you know.

There was also a problem with the entari that previously reared its ugly head (hint: the trim) and it came back again, causing my very optimistic "I'll have it done in 24 hours" to become more of an "oh.... crap...."

But more on that in another post. Now we address our momentary break from Orientalism to bring you......
