The cogs of my Steampunk heart are so happy!

My Steampunk Day Secret Santa is the best!

I'm a costumer. I want to get into historybounding my daily wardrobe with pieces from eras that I love. The book on authentic Victorian dressmaking techniques will definitely help me with that as well as any costumes I make for other projects.

I have wanted these embroidery pendants for soooooo long and I finally got them! My Secret Santa didn't know this but I recently had surgery on one of my fingers. Embroidering these little pendants will go a long way toward helping me recover dexterity in my finger.

Thank you so much for the gifts! I'm really looking forward to reading the book and working on the pendants while I recover from my recent surgery :D
