Drachenwald Crown Tourney has come and gone, actually more than a week ago? I did kind of massively overdo things that weekend and spent most of the week recovering. But! I went! I did finish my fitted gown in time, thank god, because it was chilly. Going up the spiral staircase to the dormitories in [...]

Hi everyone! Sorry for my absence, I was doing my course orientation activities and my first week of postgraduate courses, so I've been pretty busy. I was frustrated when I was researching this program and housing at UofG that I couldn't find any information so I'm going to talk about that a fair amount.... if [...]

Dear Glasgow,

Your grannies are a national treasure, look after them. I sort of...forgot...that people smoke cigarettes. Whoops. People walk their dogs without leashes?? And the dogs don't run off and chase a squirrel up a tree?? I don't understand but it seems like a great idea since the dogs can stop to sniff things and then [...]

.....that joke might not actually work. Whoops. A while back I stumbled across a list of the classes to be offered at Known World Costume and Fiber Arts Symposium (hereafter known as KWCAFAS because that is a name of unnecessary length) and I was filled with much longing.

Daughter Narrates our London Trip

February 10, 2019September 5, 2019by notanothercostumingblogLeave a Comment

In the style of "boyfriend narrates my makeup/hair/nails videos" on YouTube, here I shall narrate the relevant pieces of my parent's London trip. I'm skipping all of the food, wine shopping, and watching of plays/musicals. This is strictly textile-related. Thankfully my mom is an art history buff and LOVES the V&A, so they spent a [...]

Glasgow Day 1

We're here! First things first-- I HATE long plane rides. I just do. I can never sleep, and my knees hurt, and actually fitting in the seats only helps so much. So after the 2 hours in SFO, and the ten hours on the plane, then three at Heathrow, 1.5 on the second plane, and [...]
