Izumi just wanted to go over some basics...

First, Izumi wants to set up sub forums for each category (needle work, art, crafts, Japanese fashion, Victorian fashion, &c.)
Izumi cannot stand it when is unorganized!

Izumi has a lot of information that she will post up here slowly, but surely.. so be patient please..
Izumi has a lot of information on making traditional Japanese garments, Victorian etiquette, various types of needle work including embroidery, crochet, knitting, tatting, lace making and much more!

Izumi would like to keep the main forum just for announcements.. if you don't know where to put your post, Izumi will have a special sub forum for that.. as well as an emergency forum..

As for rules: basicly - Do unto others as you'd have done unto you!

and PLEASE for the love of God, do not TyPe LiKe ThiS or use internet typing stuff (lol, ROFL and simple things are alright, but nothing more, please!)

and of coarse follow the Gaia forum rules...

There will be one sub forum for random conversation, but all else let us keep nice and proper.
Let us try our best to write as well as we can and be as polite and respectful to others as we can.


Izumi thanks you all for reading this, and please enjoy yourself here!

Sub Forums:

Here is for emergency questions and important event information.
emergency questions would include things that must be completed by a certain date/time.. for instance: "I need to repair a brides-maids dress for a wedding in one week!" or "I need recipes for a very special party in a couple weeks" &c.
