Cleaning My Broken Hoop Skirt

Okay I need to tell y'all something *very* important. I broke my hoop skirt the other day. Yes I broke my hoop skirt!!! I was so upset, and then partially relieved about it ;) It was stuck on part of the door and for some reason I decided to start pulling on it. It came loose alright, but it broke my bottom bone of the hoop. I contacted this sweet lady I know and she told me for $10 she will fix my , dare I say beloved, hoop skirt. So in preparation for sending it off to get fixed I decided I would clean it. Well I have never cleaned it before so I had no idea what I was doing! I ended up using spray and wash on it to get out all the dirt stains that were on the bottom of the hoop. If any of y'all have any recommendations for cleaning a hoop skirt let me know. I am open to any and every suggestions! Have a blessed day!

TAMUT Eagle!

It's official, I am  TAMUT Eagle! I have been accepted to Texas A&M University at Texarkana! That means that this fall semester I will begin to work on getting a B.S. in History! After two years of college I am finally going to do the classes that I want to do! My dream is just *that* much closer now!

New Blog!

Well I have some exciting news! I have decided to start a new blog with my best friend Emily! On the new blog I will post the different projects I'm working on, baking recipes, and what all I am doing in my day to day life. I will continue to post on this blog, but I am working on deleting anything that does not have to do with reenacting. This blog will be a reenacting blog only, so if you want to know what Emily and I are up to come and check The Ladies of Meryton out! I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I've been listening to a lot of Confederate Civil War songs, maybe it's becuase the reenacting season is upon us!

January Photo Shoot 2015

Yesterday my Grandma did a photo shoot with 6 out of 7 grandkids. My grandma sells civil war style clothes and needed newer picutres for her website. For January it was *amazing* weather! Nice and sunny. We all enjoyed it and enjoyed being with each other. I modeled one of the camp dresses my grandma made me, along with the apron that a good friend (Sarah would call him my gentleman friend ;) ) bought me. The apron pins were a Christmas gift from Sarah herslef and I am *so* happy she thought of them! Enjoy a few of the photos we took! :)

Civil War Weekend 2013

I found some photos from Historic Old Washington State Park's Civil War Weekend 2013. It's crazy how time flies!

"Okay, so how does this work?"

"I seriously wonder why I have to do this."

"Why, hello there Mr. Darcy!"

I know that Mr. Darcy was a character in a Jane Austen book which is set in the Regency Era, but come on ladies! Mr. Darcy is just dashing!

It's Almost Time!!

It is almost time for the reenacting season to start back up!! I'm *so* excited! Saturday we had a civil war dance workshop, and my good friend Sarah and I talked about the reenactments we are going to attend this year! After being back in the dresses and dancing I am ready! I *love* camp life, it's so peaceful and fun. I love it more than modern camping! Hope you all have an amazing Monday!
