Almost ready for CoCo
Got all done with the alterations on the dress I'm going to wear to the "big fancy" event for Costume College. I went to locate and gather accessories and bits last night, to discover that the silk partlet that was attached to my lace ruff had disintegrated, and a new partlet was mandatory. And then there was this bit- and that bit. No huge issue, ( Read more... ) -
Seriously considering attending Costume College
So, I've settled in. Officially. There are very few post-move things to manage at this point. We have dentists, doctors, tutors, babysitters, gaming folks, vets, first-name basis with the postman, haircut people, friends for Zach AND a decent line on summer activities for him. We are about to have or first swanky party tonight (I have to go back to ( Read more... ) -

Z: "Yeah - it' ( Read more... ) -

Choreography and my CD
A bunch years ago, I recorded a vocal CD full of SCA focused original music (mostly) and a couple of trad pieces. It is decidedly light and folksy and was something that I mostly wanted to check off my bucket list.
I think I sold 450 copies, and when the last one went, I decided not to reprint them. (had another CD in the works, everyone who wanted ( Read more... ) -
Really Sad
Kingdom A&S
I have no complaints about the way the event was run
I had no crummy exchanges with painful people
Nobody snubbed me or was rude in any way
Everything was exactly as advertised, and yet I had a terrible time. I think that the average SCA event is simply no longer meeting my needs. I think I need to be honest with myself that the ( Read more... )
