A new year and a New History.

     It's a new year and I have hit the ground running.  I'm working out the details of the research trip to Europe, I'm writing and organizing the huge piles of research.  I took a bit of a hiatus to apply for PhD programs and to deal with a computer issue. 

My hard drive.  It crashed.  I did not cry.  Also, I did not lose any data, which is why I did not cry.

I want to do a better job of blogging this year and keep everyone in the loop about the writing process for the Caftan book and my teaching schedule.  I have a pretty good idea of my schedule through mid-summer, but until I know if I've been accepted into a PhD program and where, it's hard to make solid plans beyond that.  However, I am happy to travel to teach and do workshops both for textile history and for dance, so if you'd like me to come to your neck of the woods, let me know and I'll see what I can work into my schedule.
