Belly dance
I've always been interested in belly dancing. Last night I discovered a style of belly dance that interests me a great deal. It's great exercise, and the costumes suit me to a "T". It also occurs to me that this might be defined as "taking care of myself".
Robert mentioned that I should get good at it and teach Goth Belly Dance to people in the SCA ( Read more... ) -
Yes, I'm still here
I suspect that folks have been wondering at the lack of posts lately. Rest assured that I am still alive, but dealing with some overwhelming life issues. It doesn't help that about a month ago my computer had to be replaced, and I'm missing a bunch of things - like bookmarks to blogs! SCA life is a distant priority; once I regain some balance, I' ( Read more... ) -
Unpacked; will productivity follow?
I guess one of the things I dislike most is unpacking, setting up, taking down, packing up. This relates to just about everything, including sewing machines. I had time to sew last night (watched TV instead) but didn't feel like unpacking the sewing machine. Non-productive ( Read more... ) -
It's here
In Albuquerque, that is. I packed along 20 yards of linen, unfinished Evan smocks, Mommy's and Daddy's smocks for patterns, and Daddy's chauses. And carried on the sewing machine. Murphy being insistent, the one suitcase that did make it to Albuquerque on my flight was the linen. So, if I had traveled to Albuquerque for a week to get some sewing ( Read more... ) -
Tired, but very, very happy
I'll just get to the point: Rivka is to be made a Pelican. Date and event yet to be determined. Insane happiness is tempered by the scolding my body is giving over my mistreatment of yesterday.
I was frankly a little surprised.
Not that she'd been offered; I'd had certain signs that the Crown was aware of opinions about her suitability for the ( Read more... ) -
Back to the SCA
Those heady, busy days of December, overflowing with single-minded attention to Christmas decorating, cooking, entertaining, and shopping, have turned to heady, busy days before Estrella, overflowing with single-minded attention to sewing, planning, budgeting, and shopping. Always the shopping.
I'm currently having a shopping frenzy at Fabrics-store ( Read more... ) -
Estrella, here we come
Having decided to go to Estrella this year, and having been requested by the Period Encampment to join their project, we're in the planning stages. Tomorrow I have to send in the pre-registrations; after Twelfth Night, work begins in earnest. Frankly, my work schedule is going to make this extra challenging - I have two weeks at home between now ( Read more... ) -
More SCA to keep me busy
Since the position of head cook for Twelfth Night was recently vacant, Arwen stepped in to make sure "business as normal" was the order of the day. The cooking duties have been divided between a couple of Laurels for lunch, and Arwen, myself and Rivka for the evening meal. Arwen wants to go with Roman as the cuisine. I'm looking through "A Taste of ( Read more... ) -
al-Barran Midwinter
Planning on going to al-Barran Midwinter; I'll already be in Albuquerque working with the NBC station, and so it'll be nice to go. It'd also be nice if I could get that brown wool kirtle done, but (and) the Christmas preparations are taking my time. Robert's looking for someone to drive down and back with, since he really worries about the long ( Read more... )
