Thank you Kristin! We really felt like we were "chanelling" the Ballous, we weren't anxious or nervous, we just took a deep breath backstage, and knew who we were. And I"m still excited about Civil War era clothing; I bought hte 1861 Paletot coat pattern at the 18660's conference and am looking forward to making it out of a lovely cream wool I bought a few weeks ago.
Now it's back to work and the mundane world, unfortunately.
