Time Flies

It seems just like yesterday when I wrote my lost entry on this blog, but looking at the date it was in August of last year. My personal life seems to have gotten the best of me since then and i haven't been able to do much blogging.

I hope that will change. Since my last post, I have gotten a new job and had to move because of it. This hasn't changed my interest in re-enacting and I still plan on being an active member of a few living history groups.

For the Napoleonic unit, Fusiliers in Spain (www.fusiliersinspain.com), I have been trying to put together an officer's uniform for the light company. This is not an easy or quick task. To date, the only real pieces I have are my sword and whistle, both purchased from the Discriminating General (www.militaryheritage.com). I also have the officer-quality wool that will be transformed into my coat. I am waiting on the hat to be made, the gorget to arrive as well as the boots. The boots are a custom order from Robert Land (www.robertlandhistoricshoes.com). They were shipped late last month but have yet to arrive. The whereabouts of the boots are being investigated right now.

When more items arrive for my coat, I will post information here. I find the littlest details that I uncover fascinating and I hope you will too.
