Time is running out

11 days and counting. Things are getting done tho so that makes me happy. A lot of the big stuff is completed or getting there. Our coronation garb is finished. You can't imagine what a relief it is to have someone else do the sewing for you. I suppose I could have done it but I know it turned out better than anything I could have sewed. Thanks Charlene. Everything looks great.

So now on to getting accessories picked out and arranged. As well as any last minute details and decided who is riding with whom.

Long week

Hey All. This has been a really long week. Lots of coronation planning and bead hunting. Biscuit Minion was home for a little while and it was fun to hangout with you!

This weekend there is more work to do but hopefully some fun too.

Happy birthday to Samala Brown!!!! Happy 21st!

Weekend update

I had a pretty good weekend. Got a few chores at home done which is good because it will be about a month until I have another full weekend at home.
Saturday there was a work day for siege site. Charlene came down with Storm and Hagan and I tried on some of our coronation garb. I can't wait to see the finished product. Charlene is an awesome seamstress. After that we decided to run to In-weave. Hagan wanted me to see if they had any of his favorite trim left and I had been meaning to go look for wool anyway. So we went and I found the trim and a whole bunch of other trim on the discount shelf. I got almost 50 yards of trim, 10 yards of wool and a yard of this organza
for less than 50 dollars. A good haul if I say so myself.

In the evening a bunch of us went to Sioux City for dinner at the Olive Garden and to see The Last Legion. Dinner was good but the movie ehh. It could have been so much better.

25 days left

Can you believe that I only have 25 days left to be Princess and then I will be Queen of Northshield???? Can you believe that? Ai ya where has the summer gone.

So what did the Queen-to-be do on her weekend off? Ran around trying to find the right socket wrench so I could remove my broken toilet seat and put a new one on. Never, never, never, never buy a molded wood seat from Wal-mart. I wish I would have paid more attention to what I was buying. What a piece of crap. Ehhh. Anyway. Its in the dumpster now and I have a nicer newer model installed. I did it myself which always give that certain sense of accomplishment. Silly I know but I still feel good about it.

Everybody got back from Pennsic okay, tired but okay. They bought me some cool brooches and trim.

Now I need to gear up for Coronation. Crikey 25 days.

Doldrums of summer

Wait wait wait. There are several things I would like to be doing now but I have to wait. Most of the things are work things and I hate to wait. ugg. But there is nothing to be done but wait so wait I must.

I had planned to spend Saturday shopping with Rue but she remembered the SCA demo at the Sioux Empire Fair and will be going to that instead. Meh. It is suppose to be hot this weekend so that doesn't sound too exciting. Maybe I will invade Calontir and shop down there instead. With the fair on there will be tons of people in SF. We shall see.

Besides waiting I have been catching up with my movie watching. In the last week I have seen The Simpsons Movie, Bourne Ultimatum, Hot Fuzz and The Fountain. I also got the first disc of Extras. So funny. I never got into The Office but I am enjoying this series.

Humid and dreary days always bring me down

Would it be too much to ask if the moisture could come in liquid form instead of just hang there suspended in the air? I do not have gills and it makes it really hard to breath. Call me picky but I don't care. Meh summer weather is horrid. Bring forth the lovely cool days of Autumn.

August seems like the no man's land of time anyway just like the weeks after Christmas. Ehhh. I need to work on projects but the weather just sucks all the ambition away.

But besides the weather bringing me down, I had a pretty good weekend. I got some much needed rest, celebrated my Gram's 91st birthday and did a few chores.

I should do some sewing this week now that I got my foot petal for my sewing machine back.

Write to me this week, with everyone gone this week it is super boring.

Everyone will soon be at war

People are getting geared up and ready for Pennsic. I am glad I am not going because things have been mental enough for me in the last week or so without adding getting ready to go camping for a week. I am sure everyone will have fun tho. It is the getting ready and planning that is a pain.

I did finish Harry Potter last week. I enjoyed it and if anyone wants to dish, feel free to contact me. I don't want to say anything here because Clare hasn't given the all clear that she has finished it and I promised not to spoil it for her.
