Wow, so haven't updated the journal in over a year. Started uploading some photos from 'way back', photos of me and family cosplaying. We cosplayed from 2001-2007ish and then took a break. We're going to Otakon this year after missing the last few. My husband doesn't want to cosplay, but he'll be busy, as he's staff in the Masquerade department.  I haven't started anything yet, but I'm almost done planning I think, and then the mad two month rush of sewing will begin!

Ok, so I just learned that there will be a new event this spring, called "RenCon". It will be a renaissance convention, and will be held April 9-11th, 2010, in Maryland. http://www.renconvention.com/ I want to go! Happens to fall on my birthday, too! I thought I would post this here, and try to spread the word about it to other fans of renaissance. Not that all that many people read this, but still. If even two more fans of ren faires see this and decide to check out the con, my work here is done :)

So, we went to the Maryland Ren Fest this past weekend, and had lots of fun! Sadly, once again, did not get great shots of our garb, lol. I'll have to get some better shots of my eldest and I in our garb at some point. I was just glad I got everyone's garb done in time! I still have pieces cut out to make the detachable sleeves for my husband's doublet, as well as a cream silk to make him a new shirt. I'll work on those at some point, might not be until after Halloween though. Not sure if we'll get to the PA ren faire this year, all five of us. I am chaperoning a field trip for my daughter's grade though, which should be fun!
