Monday morning ramblings
Mar. 23rd, 2009 08:30 am-- Sounds like it was a very good March Crown. :-) Lots of good things happened. I'm particuarly happy to hear that: the QA display was a big success, Cordelia got offered her Pelican, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarabellem became j_i_m_r's apprentice (welcome to the family!), Etaine and J!'s roundtable on Renown went well, Alden and Constantina should be a good reign (AnTir/West will rock, people!), and no one had to pack up wet. Both sorry and not sorry I missed it.
-- Not sorry I missed it because I had a productive weekend. On top of getting a bunch of errands and chores done I made a dent in J/S's Norlund No. 63 tunic-thingie. Got it all cut out of the gold linen twill, sewed up the back peices and front pieces, and got all of the back seams flat felled. Tonight at Sewing I'll work on flat felling the front peices.
Two sewing comments. Wow, that linen twill is stretchy as all get out. I'm glad I did my usual thing of marking the seam lines on every single peice, because matching seamline to seamline has proved to be essential with this fabric. And my hands and back just can't take long stints of handwork anymore. This is why I got chores done. I could tell when my body was starting to have problems, so I would get up and do something else for a bit to give my hands/back a break. Ah, the joys of middle age...
-- Brandee remembered who the vet was! She's had shots before and never seemed to notice. But the last time she saw the vet he knocked her out to work on her teeth, and that apparently was a Memorable Unpleasant Experiance. Brandee reacted as soon as she saw the Dr. with wide eyes and a tense stance. She swung around when he stepped towards her. Now, this being Brandee, this was not a big dramatic thing. But *any* sort of reaction from Brandee like this is a big suprize. When told No she stood there just fine for her shots. But when the Dr. went to look at the pore on her back that periodically abcesses (it's fine now, but it's never completely gone away so I wanted him to look at it) she swung around again. Of course, with another No she stood there and let him look, but she was not happy about it.
This is Spend Money on Brandee time. Saturday is was spring vaccinations, tomorrow she has her farrier appointment, and Wednesday is her chiroparctic appointment. Yup, she's my pretty pretty paint princess. ;-)
-- Looking at the calander I see I'll be missing a lot of West Kingdom events this year. Not surprising; I knew going in to the year that this would be a year of retreating and restructuring. ( Read more... )
-- I hearback40joules brought 14th C-related books for me to borrow to Crown. Thank You!!! That was very thoughtful. helblonde has them and I'll pick them up tonight. Again, it was very kind of you to remember, and I apologize for not being there this weekend to look at them.
OK, gotta get some work done now.
