Yes, folks, I'm going to be sewing frantically.  On Investiture Garb.  Because it's true!  It's happened!  Axel and I are going to be the next Baron & Baroness of Sacred Stone.  You heard it here first!

I feel a tad guilty for not getting this posted sooner, but here is the picture of Mistress Francesca's new silk banner, which she & I & Makai made on Saturday.  You can see how long it is - she had to stand on the fireplace to hold it up all the way!

I just re-read my last post, and so much has happened since then it's hard to comprehend it all.

First, Axel & I did attend 12th Night, and we both spoke and read letters for Lady Aneira when she was elevated to the Laurel.  All the peerage ceremonies were lovely, and my only regret is that I didn't get to visit Fiona on vigil.  The All Peers ( Read more... )

The New Year's Eve Party was, as usual, a riotous success.  We only had one person worship the porcelain goddess this year, and there were no wild orgies, so all together it was rather tame as our parties go.  I indulged in several games of Scrabble that lasted all night, and then went out to the kitchen and cooked bacon.  (Bacon is LOVE!)  Oh, and ( Read more... )

Thanks to Galeran for the rude snowman Userpic.  It was too good not to steal, and seems entirely appropriate for how I feel about Christmas just now.  While I DID get some wonderful gifts, to include the latest Janet Arnold "Patterns of Fashion" book, and a fabulous loom from the Spanish Peacock, on the other hand the dog ate my Christmas stocking ( Read more... )

For those of you following the attack of the inanimate objects that I suffered a few weeks ago, the mattress for the new futon sofa showed up today.  (Hurrah!)  It looks like the mattress for the loveseat showed up too, but as far as I knew that one hadn't shipped out yet?!?  And I can't check on it unless I drag the old Toshiba back out again, ( Read more... )

For those of us with over 40 eyes, here's a font you don't have to squint at.

I always go back through my last post or two to see when I last wrote, and what about, and once again I find that I haven't posted in about three weeks.  Well, this time I have an excuse.  I've been suffering the attack of the inanimate objects.  For about a week after ( Read more... )

On this day of great Thanks Giving, I just wanted to say that I'm thankful for each and every one of my friends, but especially for all of you who read these words.  Have a Happy Day.  Enjoy overeating.  And Thank You, just for being You.

Hugs to All

I did it.  I managed to avoid Haloween almost entirely.  My small part was to stay in the Girlie Cave with the dogs so that they didn't terrorize the trick-or-treaters.

Seriously, I don't hate Haloween, or anything.  I'm just not a kiddie sort of person.  I love to dress up in costume - but I get enough of that from the SCA, and in a far more ( Read more... )

Copy this sentence into your LiveJournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.

I have lots of gay friends.  What really "sets my hair on fire" is people who say what they dislike about gay people is "the lifestyle", but then are against allowing them to ( Read more... )
