Oh. Ok. I know the lilypad power supply is using a 1.5v cell, but I figured it was stepping up to something more, yeah? I'm not really very experienced with electronics, I just keep pretending I understand these things until I hit a brick wall... which is frequently.
The only thing that tripped me up with that is that I tried using the current from the USB cable, which should be 5v, and it didn't seem to even power up the board. I thought maybe I got it wrong, but I checked my connections and it looked ok... Hmm.. I'll have to cannibalize one of my other projects and grab the 5v power supply and see if it works better.
There is an LED on the board. It does a triple flash on powerup, waits ~10 seconds, and repeats the triple flash. (and repeats the 10 second wait, triple flash, etc...)

triple blink... isn't it the old bootloader that does not support autoreset? I don't know lilypad, does it use the new or the old bootloader?
Thanks everyone. It works. Never trust a hidden connection. I cracked open the connectors I have soldered to some header pins and found them transposed to what I thought they were. User error strikes again! USB to TTL Serial cable works great for TX/RX and power+ground.
