I didn’t go to Killeen this weekend. I didn’t like the idea of not going, but I really needed to do things around the house, and get things in order here. I miss J, but I’ll get to see him Wednesday evening. My SCA Group is hosting our yearly event (Three Kings - there’s a link to it on the group page) and he is coming up here Wednesday. So..I am getting ready for that too.

I need to make a new dress for the event, but I don’t even have my pattern cut out yet. *sigh* I have some pretty blue linen that I’m going to use and I bought some woven trim for it recently. This is the trim that I have. The linen is the color of the background in the trim. I plan on putting it around the hem and the hem of the sleeves. This will be the dress. I won’t be doing the belt or the underskirt. I’ll make a full underdress instead of a skirt and I have several belts already. Hopefully I can get this going tomorrow. Shouldn’t take too long at all once I get it cut out. I also have some black and gold linen (kingdom colors) that I’m going to make a parti-colored cotehardie from. Maybe that will be my over Christmas break project.

The shawl I mentioned in the last post is going to the frog pond. Something is wrong on the left side and I don’t know what. It will be easier to frog the whole thing and start over than to try and figure out what happened. It’s in time out for now, but I’ll probably frog that in the upcoming week. I am working on the second Lacy Scallops sock (finally! I finished the first one back in January) I’m one repeat away from starting the heel so maybe I’ll finish these soon too.

Well, I’m sitting here procrastinating and not cleaning my bedroom like I should, so I’d better get off my ass and get it done. It shouldn’t take that long. Boy do I need a maid.
