Audrey: Je parle français mais seulement un peu (malheureusement). I am the tech support for our family and have given my IT people more than one headache for poking around in the computer where I oughtn't. Did the aquarium thing up to a 45 gallon bowfront at work and 2 20 gallons at home - keeping fancy goldfish mainly. That was great fun but I have no tanks at present. I love to knit, have done origami in the past and now my harp is my current passion but it runs neck and neck with historical clothing. I'm in the thick of making a likeness of a 16th century Saxon gown in the style of Lucas Cranach for my daughter. I tend to jump in with both feet into these projects!
In a play on an old phrase I call myself a 'Jenny of all trades, and a mistress to none.' You sound like that too - isn't it fun!

I'm a translator (French to English), but I studied and worked as a computer programmer before I had a change of heart. I still take care of the computer problems at work, and do all application support inside the (small) company. I do less costuming now, because I've become interested in fishkeeping lately. We're still stuck with our 10 gallon aquarium, but will upgrade to a 30 gallon soon and hope to move to saltwater in a couple of years. Costumes? Well... I'm hoping that, after I move (in three weeks! first time I won't be living with my parents), I can go back to working on that. I'm interested in all eras (almost) and places (almost)! Medieval, Elizabethan, Empire, 1920s to 1960s, a few other eras sprinkled in between, Japanese and Chinese garb too... Where do I find the time? Well... when I want to sew, I turn off the computer and the TV. Then I start walking in circles in the house looking for something to do, and fall back either to cleaning the basement/sewing room or actually sewing :-) (Well, that is, when I don't get sucked into one of the FIMO, knitting, origami, cooking, translating, weaving, etc. projects!). _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
