    my first sewing project!

    Ok, dont laugh, they're just curtains. However, this is the first thing I've ever sewn on the sewing machine, so I'm excited about it. I'm an idiot, and I measured wrong and they turned out short, but who cares... I sewed! I found the fabric a few years ago and thought it was cute and vintage...

    What is your passion?

    I liked Edinburgh, it was just too big for me... I liked the smaller cities that seemed to capture the spirit of the people more than Edinburgh did. Strange, I know. Plus the new parliament building is ugly. :rolleyes: -Jess

    What is your passion?

    I thought it was wonderful even when it was raining... but it was beautiful when the sun came out. :) I did see cathedrals when I was there. One thing that I found interesting was that if some of the buildings had been made of brick and not granite, it would almost be like being in Virginia...

    What is your passion?

    Hi there!! I absolutely adored Scotland! I had a wonderful time... I've considered going back for a much lengthier stay (maybe for school, I dont know yet) because I loved it so much. However, it seems that through the research I've done its really hard for Americans to just move to the UK...

    What is your passion?

    My passion is history... always has been. I was a history major for a while until I realized that I could read all I wanted about history any time, but what was more important to me was the preservation of that history, so I switched schools and switched majors to historic preservation...

    Where do you come from???

    Vernacular Architeture is a tricky term... I'll try to simplify it the best I can, even though its many things... Vernacular Architecture is architecture without a formal style... something that perhaps wasnt designed by an architect... like for instance, a midwestern farm house. It can be a...
