Consider the line dropped...come talk to me at Fells Point... and not to fret... always remember one colony's privateer is another colony's pirate...besides someone has to play the bad guys and that is so much more fun.

HEY... t'was yer astute, blond, captain that finally leaned across the table and asked..."Are you choking?"
Thanks Mickey, wish you and Kate could have made it we had a terrific time and learned a lot, especially on how to deal with the judges and hearing all their comments was a great learning experience. They really help you with great points on how to interact better with the public. We went with the mindset to learn and we did...not only did we score high but we learned exactly where we need to make fixes. They were most impressed with our range of characters and the distinctions between them and how we kept the public hanging in our camp laughing whilst they were learning... the correction comment...more dirt, more cargo and more degree of difficulty... Our best compliment..."Where the hell have you guys been hiding all these years?"
My hat is off to the 'Angels...they worked hard and kept the crowds in the camp. A hearty congratulations to Cookie, Cheeky and Brig for the cooking demo...the food was out of this world even when you looked in the cauldron and asked..."What the hell is that?!? Is that the laundry?" One of the food judges even stopped by Saturday evening and asked for the left overs!
Have already begun corrections for next year and now going back to bed....
Now, now Lady C...I only take displeasure in my own errors ... was just jotting down some info for them that might be interested in the historic side of things...no displeasure directed at any one...
Now for what it is worth, there are a number of how tos online regarding needlelace and bobbin...why not cut out the middle man (tatting) and go right to the item we all crave? Due to the huge difficulty in finding a proper replica, anyone learning and producing said replica might just be in high demand.
I'll get on it and hopefully have some soon. Already for the lighter colored paper sourced for the 18th century ones so will get some in this week.
Thank you, will keep checking this thread regularly for when you are ready to post
