Had a talk with my tax preparer

And guess what? Now that I'm officially in print, I can start deducting my travel and lodging expenses for quilt-related matters.

That means the AQSG Seminar this weekend, K'zoo, the trip to Florence, possibly last year's K'zoo and AQSG....

*deep breath*

Yow.

Cool. very cool.

Now, on a totally unrelated sort of a thing.
I client at work asked if I knew someone who'd be able to do an authentic regency costume. You're the closest person I know, who would know.

Would you mind if I e-mailed you with further details? That is if this isnt too far out of the left field?

I haven't done a Regency costume in ages...but let me poke around and see if I can find someone who really could do a good job. There's an excellent pattern from Folkwear for a women's gown that I could take a stab at, but a man's costume is more than I can handle right now.

I'll let you know -

Power! Freedom! More money!

Wow, I'm thrilled for you! And it's totally a Cycle of Good, because the more you research, the more you can do. Brilliant!

That's right. It's not precisely going to be lucrative, but if I can at least deduct my travel and hotel, I finally might break even at this...:D

Heck, even defraying the travel is excellent.

No kidding. When I think of how much I've spent on plane tickets alone in the last couple of years....

Yay for fun, educational, tax deductable travel!
