Steam Century Mystery Night Is Here!!!!
Mike and I had a great time this evening at the the Mystery. We listened to beautiful music, great storytelling, and made many new acquaintances! The HMA Badger were excellent hosts and we hope to be back for one of the future Mysteries. The next Mystery at Midway Village is set for July 17th. Information can be found on the SCM Page.
We also helped out Gallowglass Academy with the Bartitsu Demonstration this evening. Bartitsu is the martial art style possibly used by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's, Consulting Detective, Sherlock Holmes. Interested in more information? There happens to be a Bartitsu class going on April the 17th. If you are interested you can check out the class information

Mike and I left early, wearing a new corset while still dealing with a lingering cold is tiresome. However, we look forward to crossing into the realm of Steampunk again soon.

Besides getting my new Civil War Dresses done for Naper Settlement, I have my next Steampunk projects in the works.

I think I may put the Jacket aside and focus on something a bit more Edwardian. My mother-in-law gave me The Edwardian Modiste as a recent birthday present and I have picked a dress out of the book.

Or I will go with a dress I just love from Victorian Fashions and Costumes from Harper's Bazar, 1867-1898, the picture is dated 1889.
I also have a fencing outfit to complete....also from Harper's Bazaar and also from 1889.
