vw - you'll have to post a picture of the quilt when it's done.
I totally will! Don't you know it!
No. He didn't escape or try to. I might, though.
Uh, oh. This sounds bad. {{{Cindy}}}
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Because books.
Why wait for 25? I think 18 would work.
What did he do? Now I'm going to be picturing all kinds of awful things involving garbage disposals and ceiling fans and lawn mowers.

Go quilting vw, go!
Best wishes for you and Christopher, Cindy. I hope everything turns out ok.

What is even happening?
It was freaking bizarre and the act of a three year old, not a six year old, and I just can't deal. I think he's okay. He seems okay. I will only know as time goes by.
I think I have to get off the p.c. for the night (almost wrote "P-C" by mistake there, yep, it's time to shut off the shiny square with the pretty words).

Ann, that's a ferret.
AmyLiz, a posy holder might be too small to hold a letter, at least if you want it hidden well. But it's very, very Victorian.
The Smithsonian has a sizable collection, but the link is all I could Google up.

AIMEE! I almost have the top to Emeline's dress done, and it is SO. DAMN. CUTE! I might have to make one for Olivia and Halloweenie and Lillian! So cute! Can't wait to see pictures of it on her.

You guys rock with the suggestions. I love everyone getting their Victoriana geek on.
AmyLiz, there are also things like traveling desks (with secret compartments), large-ish bags (reticules, portmanteaux, etc.) with pockets sewn closed, a hatbox with a false lining.
A hatbox is cool, but I can't see it being a gift (unless, you know, a hat came with it).
I was going to say button-hook because that's the sort of thing I think of.
Very cool little implements, and very much of the era, but yeah, not so good with the hiding stuff.
How about a handkerchief box? [link] Or a sewing box? [link] I have a lap desk, but it seems to be rather large for a present from Victoria.
A handkerchief box would also work! I think I'm going to Google images of glove, handkerchief, and collar boxes until I find one I love, and pick then.
AmyLiz, a posy holder might be too small to hold a letter, at least if you want it hidden well. But it's very, very Victorian.
Oh, very much so! So cool.
