I didn't really get any this year, and haven't yet received my Secret Santa present from the list exchange. I got lots of other very nice things, though...several kinds of chocolate, a nice teapot, cat toys for my kitties, a historical cookbook, etc. Oh, wait....I did buy myself a kit from Philosopher's Wool for a Fair Isle Cardigan. Luscious, luscious colors...mmmm....Not "costume," but definitely clothing, if that counts. And my sister's MiL sent me a hand-dyed silk scarf from Bejing. I gave a couple of textile-related things as gifts--one friend got a small purse done in a fair isle pattern (knitted), and my BiL got a seaman's scarf (knitted). My SiL, Beth, who is the other knitter in the family, is getting handspun yarn from me for her projects. Oh, ack, wait....I actually *did* get something costume-related. A friend gave me some wood-carving tools. I'm wanting to learn how to do basic pewter casting, so I can make my own buttons for fitted gowns, and maybe some pilgrims' badges, and you can use the carving tools to carve your stone molds. --Sue in drippy-cold Montana
