Blogging Our Souls Away...
If you join this group, please load your banner and a link to your blog on the blog list. Then, participate or start new discussions. I heard a pundit on a talk show state recently that 50,000 blogs are started daily! It's easy to disappear in cyber space with so many out there. It might be fine for you to have a small, personal blog, but I started mine to fulfill several goals: generate income, drive customers to my stores, and build a writing portfolio that might open other doors down the road.
One of the unexpected results that came out of blogging, for me, was starting this group and watching it grow and take on a life of its own. I felt the need for a larger community and hope that each of you enjoy this evolution as much as I do!

Comment by Rayela Art on June 15, 2009 at 9:27pm - Oh, I can so relate to what you two said! But, it's also how I make my living and having the social side does make the cyber-time more interesting for me. I think there is also a learning curve that happens so that when you first start something, like a blog, there is this urgency to get a lot of content up to make it interesting. It takes me about three to four hours to do even a simple post, so I've cut back a lot. But, when I do spend the time, I want it to be meaningful.

Comment by Linda Lynch on June 15, 2009 at 9:19pm - That is a problem for me, so I really can't answer that. I have thought about putting a timer next to me for 20 minutes and making myself stop. Haven't done it yet!! It can take over your life if you let it and I have backed off considerably as I then do not complete anything because I am online continuously.

Comment by Andrea Graham on June 15, 2009 at 7:42pm - I have fallen into the black hole of cyberspace today and spent all day blogging, looking at blogs (and doing more productive stuff, too) what do you all do to set limits on yourselves!!

Past Patterns
#503: Flapper Slip-On Evening Dress $16.00 (US dollars)
A typical dropped waist of the Roaring Twenties is created by a yoke over the hips. The tiers of circular flounces form a lovely vision while dancing. The scarf and the tie sash patterns are included. This pattern is quick and easy to make.
This pattern is multi-sized 8 through 20. All the sizes are in one package. Look at our National Standard size chart for your size. Sizes 8-12 require 5 3/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric; sizes 14-20 require 5 5/8 Yds. of 45 inch wide fabric.

HOW TO MAKE LENAPE STYLE MOCCASINS
Shared by Mèssochwen Tëme
The same pattern is used for both feet so you only have to make one pattern. Once you make the pattern you're all set, and you can save it for making more moccasins in the future.

Fashion-Era, A Costume Resource
Fashion-era contains 715 content rich, illustrated pages of Fashion History, Costume History, Clothing, Fashions and Social History. Sitemap
"At Fashion-Era.com we analyse two centuries of women's costume history and fashion history silhouettes in detail. Regency, Romantic, Victorian, Edwardian, Flapper, 1940's Utility Rationing, Dior's New Look, 1960's Mini dress, 1970's Disco, 1980's New Romantics, Power Dressing, Haute Couture, Royal Robes, Fashion Semiotics, and Body Adornment, each retro fashion era, and future fashion trends are all defined.
We've also outlined the history of Jewelery, Perfumes, Cosmetics, Corsetry and Underwear manipulation of the body silhouette. Fashion history is a rich area to explore. The effects of past and present technology, changes in work, leisure, media and homelife that affect lifestyle trends, attitudes, fashion trends and shopping trendsetters are all covered in the various eras.
Newer sections such as hats, hair, cloaks and capes, ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman fashion history continue to explore and make this a great web fashion history and costume history resource. Some sections also include consumer tests for example on clip in hair extensions plus tips on how to buy and sell vintage, pattern drafting and Christmas themes. There is also a Fashion Forum over 4 years old called Fashion-era Forum. There you can discuss anything from current fashion trends, old photographs, vintage to costume history or from Greeks to the 21st century."
Egyptyian Dress Costume Collars
Ancient Costume - Egyptian Dress Costume PlatesPart 5 - Ornamental Patterns and Egyptian Collars
- Collars with Ancient Egyptian Decorative Ornament
- Egyptian Collar for Tutankhamun Fancy Dress Costume
- Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs Exhibition
Styles of Egyptian robe with free pattern guides were discussed on the detailed pages of Egyptian Costumes. However, decorative elements were mostly confined to the removable collars on garments and other removable accessories such as headwear, girdles (striking wrap sash belts) and deep arm cuffs. But if you need a wearable costume you have to have basic body covering too, so check out my other Egyptian pages.
To complete your Egyptian costume add a collar, typical jewellery and eye make up. To be fair there are plenty of King Tut collars available at fancy dress party costume outlets online. But part of the fun of going to an Egyptian fancy dress event is making your own Egyptian inspired costume and most importantly achieving something that fits you proportion wise rather than being made as one size fits all."Fashion-Era
