There! That's done!
Jan. 21st, 2007 02:02 amBy the time most folks read this on Sunday (or Monday, or Tuesday...) my last responsibility as an Autocrat of an event will be done. I'm road-tripping through the snow and ice particle mix to travel to Hampton Roads and deliver "lost" items to the folks who live up there. And then I'm done, done, done. I said "never again" and am already considering another event. What I'd really like to do is cook again at Barnacled Bullfrog but we don't have an autocrat (and if we did have a bid, what'sto say I'd be on it as Cook?).
Inventory of the Baronial storage unit went well and quickly. Possibly because so much stuff is not in there. That's worrying but not my job so I'm trying to keep my fingers in my ears and not interfere with those folks whose jobs it are. Is. Man, that doesn't scan right.
Vikes-NA is all up to date with memberships again (Im the membership secretary). I had to go out and get myself my very own bank account in order to help folks with their Paypal payments. That was weird. And now I have someplace other than my cookie jar to hide money for buying Arni's birthday presents. Woot! Side benefit!
I'm knitting a scarf for my youngest. At the rate I'm going, it might be spring before he gets it. Man, you'd think that size 2 knitting needles would be *big* but my progress is making them look awfully small. Or maybe that's because the scarf is as wide as a toddler's sweater. But it's going to be warm and comfy so it's worth it. He's worth it.
In SCA projects, I'm in 'blah'. I can't finish my outstanding ones that I am looking forward to because I'm stuck trying to create a pattern (one *lovely* reproduction pillow for a cool sweet knitter who's reading this - no, I haven't forgotten) and the other a linen tunic with neat celtic-patterned animals around the collar (no, not 'period', just fun). I wish I was a better artist. I'm nearly done with CC's Pennsic gowns and can see the postal date looming on those (when I get to mail them to her). I'd like to do some embroidery for Arn but the person who has what I'd be working on hasn't given it to me and now I don't want to nag him - I don't even know if that's still in the works and feel a little, um, odd, about asking. If it's not, it's no big deal. It was mainly ceremonial. I've been working on my two knitting/embroidering projects and day-dreaming about the next "real" thing I'm going to do when they are done. A new gown for me, I think, that is long enough that I can wear a short hangerroc over it rather than a floor-length one. Yeah, that'd be nice.
And I think I'd like to make a G-63 for Arn and maybe a Turkish tunic or two for him, too, since his pants and undergowns already would work for that. Oh! And maybe a new pair of pants just so I could make one of those embroidered drawstrings for the waistband. MAN, would that be kicking!
