Aw Hell. Left my purse at home. Which means I left my wallet and my phone at home too. Here's hoping I don't get pulled over on the way home... Oh Yay, and my tea bag ruptured in my cup. *grump grump grump*
Shake it off Cindy. Shake it off.
Damn, I'm tired.

Anyways...Its December now, isn't it? Wow.
I'm hoping I can convince Max that we should get our tree this weekend. I'm wanting to decorate hard core so it starts feeling a bit more like the Holidays around the Chateau de Nom Nom. Got a bit wanting for the holidays after chatting with mom and Leelee on the phone yesterday. My life has been a complete blurr since August and I really want to try and slow down and just ENJOY the season for a while. Its working...kinda. Eh, I've just been dead on my feet the last couple months. I kinda need a break. Looking forward to visiting home for that break. REALLY looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.
The next two weekends are pretty booked. Winter Arts this Saturday then next weekend is Dan's wedding. I think the weekend after is one I have free. I'm kinda guarding it with my life at the moment. I would like to have one weekend to myself to sit in my PJs and do nothing of any great importance. We shall see...WE SHALL SEEEEEEE.

Almost done with the Italian Ren I've been puttering with this week. Just have the hand sewing left on it. I'd like to do more details on it if possible. We shall see if time allows. I'll try and take more photos tomorrow. I also may try to slam one other project out tomorrow depending on my laziness upon the morrow. If what I finish on my Italian is something I like, I will probably put it up for view at Winter Arts on Saturday. If it looks like crap, I'll put it in the closet. *L* The important think here is I am getting practice and getting more conifdent with my work.

And this site makes me drool. http://realmofvenus.renaissanceitaly.net/ . Seriously, it makes me want to go home immediately and sew.

And this site makes me laugh my butt off http://gofugthyself.blogspot.com/. I am in no way a period nazi for SCA, that's for damn sure. But even I have to blink at some of the stuff of the interwebs vendors consider period. The Nitpicky stuff about films on the site I don't completely agree with. Because costuming designing for historical reenactment and costuming designing for a film/play I feel are two very different animals. Sometimes a costume designer has to fudge period a bit just to get their point across. And some of the nitpicky things about people's garb makes me shrug. Honestly, If you're new to SCA all I care about is you cover your boobies and bits and at least attempt at looking somewhat period. Costume knowledge comes with time.
But those posts about ebay? Hilarity! PURE HILARITY!
