Stimpzilla's Renaissance Dress Blog

Ahhhhh...It was fun, it was beautiful, and we already miss our friends......Six glorious weekends!

Here's a picture of us on Celtic Weekend as we dressed the niece and nephew. They can eat four ice creams each in about an hour! LOL This is Bonnie's or Lady Eleanor's first gown with a hoop. She choose pinks for her gown. Gage otherwise knownas Sir William decided he did not want to be an English nobleman, as the English we very mean to the Scottish, so he decided on a kilt. And Lord Jim wanted to show off those fine legs of his!

We are still working on the suit of pearls for Henry, King Of France. This has caused something of a scandle as I have had to keep this secret from the English court. The present mood towards France is not very good. As a result we have bee taking part in our usual social life but have had to hide late at night, in order to work on the garments. This is making us a bit less than beautiful as our beauty sleep has been disrupted. However we are perfectly willing to take our temper out on John Percy, who has had his ears boxed now on a regular basis.

We are nearly done but still have about 350 more pearls to sew on. They are lovely to look at. The sleeves have already been assembled, and we will have the doublet put together by the end of the week.
