About

Cynthia Griffith 18th century costumeAbout Me:

I have a wide variety of interests and hobbies.  I enjoy sewing, particularly historical garments, but I’m still fairly new and learning as I go along. The main subject of this blog and website will most likely focus on sewing and costumes.

I’ve also been learning to play the fiddle (Irish Traditional music) on my own since about 2004 or so.  I’ve slowly been tracing my genealogy for several years, and have recently been having a little more luck.  I used to juggle, though my husband is a much better juggler than I am.  I’ve enjoyed creating art since I can remember, but I’ve been taking a long break from art and juggling.  I hope to get back to those soon.

There’s probably a lot more, but those are some of my main interests.

I am interested in historical clothing, but I am not a re-enactor and am not historically accurate.  Here is a note about that.

About This Site:

I used to have my site at http://www.darthcynthia.com/ and updated frequently for a few years at least.  After a while, I just stopped doing anything with it.  I kept meaning to update the look, and even change the domain name… but I didn’t know what to do with it and kept putting it off.

My husband has his WordPress blog at http://www.thejugglingwriter.com/ and really likes it, so he recommended I try it.  So here it is, finally!  No more excuses — I can get back to enjoying my website and trying different things with it.

My old site used to have art galleries, and seemed to be more of a fan site than anything about me, really.  While I do hope to add art here again, I don’t want it to be the main focus.  One thing I discovered, was that I wanted a site for me.  A site that friends and family could see what I was up to, and also to meet new friends!  Also, a site that could change as my interests changed.  I will probably talk about hobbies (I have way too many), and post links to things I find fascinating.

Thanks to all of the wonderful friends I’ve met online, and to those I have yet to meet! I look forward to many wonderful chats.  Best wishes to you all!

A very special thanks to my husband, Christopher, for inspiring me to have fun with my site again as well as helping me with ideas for blog entries.
