About Cynthia Griffith

I have way too many interests and hobbies, and continually cycle through them -- paying attention to some, while others wait for when I can get around to them again. My main interests are sewing and costuming (I enjoy historical clothing, such as 18th and 19th century, as well as fantasy costumes like elves and hopefully someday even dwarves), as well as getting back to art by drawing fan art of Thorin Oakenshield and Company. My husband Christopher and I spend a lot of time together, enjoying the outdoors and shared hobbies such as juggling. This blog and website is my way to share what I'm up to with friends and family.

Speaking of sewing, I have my first invitation to attend a small, private gathering.  Now, not only do I need to get sewing, I have a deadline!  Definitely time to get things rolling.  It’s not just my outfit I need … Continue reading →

It’s Buried Here Somewhere…

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Cynthia Griffith

My sewing area, that is.  Since I was unable to sew for so long, that area became storage.  When our old TV died, instead of just tossing it, we put it in front of my sewing area until we could … Continue reading →

Adding links, and sewing

Posted on January 27, 2010 by Cynthia Griffith

I’m slowly working on the site, and figuring out what I want to add and where.  I’ve already started adding links to some of my favorite sites.  Many of them will be about the 18th and 19th centuries, and sewing/costuming. … Continue reading →

Starting Over

Posted on January 27, 2010 by Cynthia Griffith
