My friend and I are costume Crazies! as you can tell from my blog and we need more of an excuse to make the Civil War dresses and be able to wear them somewhere. Unfortunately there are none here in Utah. By the way I NEED to meet your mom and pick her brain. Too Bad we couldn't have a multi- everybody's family- get together reunions. I loved your pictures by the way. You should come with Mike to the rendezvous here sometime.

I arranged to have reenactors for a homeschool audience this past spring -- we sang and dressed up and learned a ton. hope you post about this more frequently. I'll have to show this post to my kids -- we're too wimpy to endure 90 deg Iowa summers for long.juliecachehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051312206721332785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-86919498885547889782010-07-02T15:37:13.327-07:002010-07-02T15:37:13.327-07:00That sounds like a fun hobby!

My husband...I love you a little bit more today...!<br /><br />My husband and I are getting into re-enactment ourselves... pre-1840s / Fur Traders... we live in the Midwest. So... I find it incredibly COOL that you are involved!<br /><br />I know you are busy and might not have a lot of time... but I'm having a very difficult time figuring out ladies' styles for this time period... styles that are NOT Native American in nature. If you have any ideas, I would greatly appreciate them. I have no problem finding patterns for my hubby and even the girls, but ladies' is hard!<br /><br />THANKS! erindraeger at gmail dot comErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150147950694927005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5757733747822094075.post-51134461433759940552010-07-02T12:36:08.034-07:002010-07-02T12:36:08.034-07:00I LOVE IT!!!!!
