Yes! We are all here for the fun and learning and participating in activities that give us joy. Welcome to our Joyful Community, Kari ! 😀

I know you posted this several years ago, but I’m new here so first of all hello all. Second: your family sounds like mine. Whenever I do something “different” I get a lot of, “What for? What’s the point? WHY??”
My answer: Because I enjoy it. No I don’t need a civil war era dress any more than I needed my spinning wheel or my loom, but it’s fun! I like fun things, even if my fun isn’t the same as YOUR fun.
So have fun.

That’s awesome! Clara Oswald for the win! (OsWin!)

Maybe your family is really boring and you’d be doing them a service by expanding their boundaries. And more importantly – Do what YOU want not what your family expects.

I still remember the look of horror on my daughter’s face the day I first donned a frilly cap. She used to call me Lynnie the Ninny. Now her kids dress up and come to events with me.

Oh, exactly! And smart move to keep using what you made. 🙂
