Average first post

First post of a new blog is always the same, but who am I to break away from tradition?

First things first, who am I?

You may call me Plum, or Marie which is my lovely middle name. I am 22 years old, and am married to a wonderful man who supports all my various hobbies which is really amazing cause I am all over the place. My maiden name is french, which is very strange in the area I grew up. One day I shall get all the information I can from my few living relatives and look up my ancestors to find out exactly how I ended up with my name.

My interests and hobbies touch a little bit of everything at times. I have a strong interest in historical and national traditional costumes/clothing. I am particularly in love with Georgian ladies and the aesthetics of the Regency period. I have spent years studying the traditions of the geiko and maiko of Kyoto, as well as the history of kimono.  

Drawing, reading, writing, cross stitching, crocheting, all manners of various crafting from jewelry to redoing furniture are all apart of what i try to do in my spare time. Oh and video games....loooots of video games. I also love animals, I have two 'little girls', two cats i adopted together, Jasmine and Lily.

I expect this blog to become an outlet for me, from art sketches to how my crafts are coming along. I also hope to make some friends and find more blogs to keep up with!
