Feeling snooty about snoods

A Darling Dolly friend of Momma's has offered to make me some snoods after I told her how much I admired hers.

Historically a small bag—netted, tatted, knitted, crocheted, or knotted — of fine thread or yarn, enclosed the long hair on the back of the head and held it close to the nape.

A tighter band (in my case a hose clamp!) will cover the forehead or crown, then run behind the ears and under the nape of the neck, holding the bag in place.

Just the thing for keeping my hair out of my face while working on a steam engine.

But what color should I get? Silver, bronze, black, brown, red, or green?

Or one of each....

Bye, bye miss American pi

Did you have your pi today and eat it, too?

Pi Day is an unofficial holiday commemorating the mathematical constant π (pi). Pi Day is celebrated on March 14 (or 3/14 in month/day date format), since 3, 1 and 4 are the three most significant digits of π in the decimal form.

On March 12, 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a non-binding resolution (HRES 224), recognizing March 14, 2009, as National Pi Day.

Wilde about steampunk

I was complaining to Momma last night about the new Imperium Park line by Wilde Imagination and wondered why they hadn't given those lovely steampunk items to my dear friend Lizette Dionne.

Air Ship Escape

So Momma got busy with Photoshop.

Isn't Lizette stunning in her new outfits?

Military Theory

Now Momma says I have to get busy and earn the money myself to buy Steampunk Lizette and her costumes.

Sheesh.

Don't you think Lizette would make a fine traveling companion for me?
