Whimping out on March Crown

[callistotoni]

After much thought, I've decided not to go to Crown this weekend. I knew right away that I was not up for camping yet, and a hotel was more than I wanted to spend (and I waited too long, anyway), so I was always going to day trip. But

A) Brandee is getting her spring vaccinations tomorrow. I had thought the clinic was next weekend, but it is, in fact, this Saturday.

B) I'm still fighting off the cold/sore throat from hell, so I don't want to be out in the rain and cold.

And, probably most important,

C) I don't really want to go. What I really want to do is (after seeing Brandee) hole up at home and sew. I finished all 3 of J/S' 14th C shirts, and now I want to cut the Norlund No.63 tunic-thingie out of the gold linen twill and get it put together and ready for flat felling (not lining it, 'cause I'm hoping it can be worn in hot weather).

I'm feeling guilty about missing the Queen's Artisan's display (the only thing I wanted to go to Crown for, besides seeing my freinds), but I'm going to Collegium and I will get to see what the QA's have been doing there.

In other news, Happy Spring! It's been spring-like lately around here. The barn swallows have returned to the barn and the poppies have started blooming, along with all the plum and cherry trees. It's suppose to rain again this weekend, though.

Here's a couple of pics in honor of Spring '09:

Yet another pic of Brandee enjoying the green grass of Spring:




Oh, and my new icon? This is what I see first thing in the morning, namely, Madeline sitting on my chest, right next to my face, purring and demanding attention. I suspect I'm in for a lot of that view this weekend. ;-)

Oh! Nice pics. We don't have blossoms yet, but soon, I hope...
Have a lovely weekend at home. :-)

Ah, you're just jealous because it's still snowing where you are ;-) .

I'm sorry you'll miss the Marketplace. (and I just got my hotel room at 11 pm last night) But I know how you feel.

I'm so jealous. We're day tripping, but I'm having a hard time getting the motivation to go (Hmm... must try on warm things today to see if things fit. Feh.) Well, aside from wanting to see my honey fight well and honorably <3 of course.

Mostly, I'll be glad to have the *^&# embroidery patch done and turned in.

The saturday showers (especially the sunday rain) are making this into a series of three day-trips for us. Packing down in the rain isn't high on my list of stuff to do, especially with a 4 year old.

I won't be going either--fighting off a UTI as well as nasty side effects from the Tamoxifen. March Crown is my least favorite event of the year anyway....so huzzah for you and have fun with your weekend of nesting and other self-directed stchuff!! There are always other events---in nicer weather.

Almost wish I could wimp out on Crown, but the spouse really wants to go (among other things to see loupnoir and hubby). We managed to get our hotel room early enough (after some minor foo), but it's gonna rain tomorrow and Sunday. Bleh. Me and rain. Not good. Sigh.

We missed you, but the QA display went very well. I'll be taking some leftovers to B&Y's on Wednesday evening (3 pies were left out of the 15 I took).
