So yeah, Don was doing some more research and it sounds like the Staffords and the Shrewsburys had pretty good relations. Do you know if Frances was on the Catholic or the Protestant side of the family?

you know, it never says i everything that I've read. I was thinking about doing it on the line...like maybe Frances was more catholic but then she married into protestant or vice versa. I do know that their house was searched for catholic relics or such things, but nothing was found. Bess of Hardwick was upset that her daughter was searched too. Protect me mother! LOL

Well, Mary, Lady Talbot was recusant, but her husband wasn't. I think Elizabeth, Lady Lennox, must have been since the Stuarts all were; although they were a lust/love match so all bets are off. Francis was born during Edward, but those first formative years were under Mary so most likely her first memorable religious experiences were of Catholic services. That being said it may or may not have stuck. Mary Stanley's brother Henry the Earl of Derby was raised Catholic like the rest of the family, but he was more Church of England for political reasons. When did they search your house? In the 1580s they were really looking to crack down on the Catholics. Besides, with the Shrewsbury connection with Mary Queen of Scots they may have been looking for anything else to implicate her or accomplises.

You have some absolutely fabulous pieces of work. I would love to be able to have the ability to draw out some of the designs in my head. I can sew, but I just can't draw.

Aww thank you so much! Yah I was originally a studio art major..then art history major..then I said forget it! and decided to do historical costumes on the side and not let the things I really love become work. :) IF you ever need a design drawn out just let me know! I can whip em up in a jiffy! It's the actually sewing that takes forever. :/ As I'm sure you know.

Thank you so much!! I will keep that in mind.
I know all about love of something becoming work and then hating it. Then I became a nurse and I love my fun stuff again

Bother bother bother bother bother bother bother and stuffs.

I loves.

Still working on that stupid restaurant reservation... I'm gonna try to do it tomorrow, even though it's really in advance. But whatever. We'll see.

I just said that to have an actual excuse for randomly posting on your DA wall. o.o But I don't think I really need one. ... so there.
