< Jenny, you're in New York City, aren't you? Here's the website for a Country Dance group where you can learn some period dances:

http://www.cdny.org/

(They're even having a "Playford Ball" at the end of this month, where the dances will be from a 1651 dance manual that became a standard for centuries.)

V Do you dance? If so, what style? If not, why not?

^ I sewed Elisabethan and Italian Renaisance costumes on a straight stitch Sears machine. I can sew anything! (Actually, I blew up a gog in that machine and had to get a new one.) I also crochet, embroider, do beading, and love to dress up - so I guess that about covers everything! <_<

^ Hven't gotten it yet. I'm wishing for a swept-back hilt rapier.

< Working on kit for me and my husband. We've got shirts, so breeches and coats come next. Then the shoe/boot question will raise its ugly head. LOL

V What weapons do you wear with your kit (if you wear any at all)?

...schooners, islands, and maroons

and buccaneers and buried gold...

^ Seeing something innovative that someone else has done. I get great ideas that way.

< I'm not so much an innovator, as an adaptor. I can take a general idea or design, and adapt it, reconfigure it, and make it something completely different.

V Innovator or adapter?
