| Introduction | I love music, especially 18th century music! I enjoy researching music styles, composers and music history. I also play flute, recorders and Irish whistles. My family is very musical too. My husband, Barry, plays a bodhran, my daughter, Carrie, plays viola and violin, and my son-in-law plays flute, guitar and piano. Often, you will find us at historical reenactments making wonderful music! I have been making 18th century reproduction clothing for about 15 years, and have done extensive research on fabrics, styles and construction techniques. Another of my interests is floral designing. I love to take flowers and create amazing displays. I recently created the fairy tale wedding of my daughter's dreams, and I have designed the floral landscapes for many other weddings and special events. |
