Just trying to get this out of my brain so I can get focused on my report. Not very interesting unless you are me, I'm afraid.

Really want to accomplish:
-- Finish partlet for 12th Night dress and get hem guard sewn on by Crosston Ball (Jan.27). I want to be *done* this this dress...
-- Hem the pink the pink loose overgown/ropa-thingee that helblonde et al made me to a workable length. I'm flattereed that they think I'm much taller than I really am. ;-)
-- Finish raisin/purple wool kirtle dress by March Crown (March 23?) Will be worn with my green coat-wool short ropa for the As God Is My Witness I Will Never Be Cold Again outfit.
-- Start the %&$#@ paint job on my pavillion. I've been putting this off for far too long. Deadline for completion of pavillion painting is Beltane.
-- Clean up the disaster area that is my room and kitchen. Re-organize sewing room to recover from 12th Night Sewing Madness. Deadline for latter: Feb.4 (when I'm having some guests.)
-- Get Vyncent's measurements so I can start the shirt I owe him in payment for my shoes.

Would be nice:
-- Practice more 16th C recipes in preparation for the Slackers Club.
-- Find out more about the 10 March rapier event. I'm at Ed Levine all the time anyway; maybe I could do something to help.
-- Look to see if I can improve Brandee's barding, or decide if I should just make her a different one.
-- Get started on the Moroni dress that I'd love to have for Beltane. Could make the under kirtle, 'cause that would work well with the pink loose overgown/ropa-thingee that helblonde et al made me.
-- Repair work needs to happen on the cotton brocade pink ropa JIMR made me years ago (7! Time flies...)

And of course there's Brandee and that whole dressage thing. :-) I think one of the reasons that I loved Little Miss Sunshine so much was the line "The only *real* losers are people who don't try at all". And finishing reports, which I'll get back to now.
