Pennsic Prep
Jun. 2nd, 2022 10:09 pmMy sewing to-do list just got longer as my beloved realized that his favorite surcotes are too tight for comfort. They look fine, they just pull a bit around the belt as he moves. So I must come up with two more of those pre-Pennsic. It is his favorite type of garb for the event. It is rare to get him into a tunic rather than his favorite outfit of a white undertunic covered with a surcote. I stopped rolling my eyes decades ago. Men in their undies in public!
When we got home from last weekend's event I dumped out our "kitchen", which is three wash tubs stacked together with the interior of the top one packed full of kitchen supplies from utensils to spices, dish soap to first aid kit, even the long fire starter. Two of the tubs are green and are for dishwashing. They sit inside a third tub, a red one, which is for spit baths. I thought I was going to organize it better by sewing a roll-up storage organizer for all of the big cooking utensils. I even bought a yard of fabric to use for the purpose. But now I've realized that if I do that I can't take advantage of the little gaps between pieces in order to store the tiny spice containers and other smaller bits. Grrr. It was a right royal mess last weekend with various people rummaging through it and my dish soap got up ended and leaked (in its protective ziplock bag because I can be taught). Thank goodness the Clorox didn't do the same. I dunno. Maybe I can find a way to use an organizer and re-pack the rest of the stuff around it. I tell you, that bundle of "camp kitchen" is jam-packed. I even have a kitchen scale in there. No cutting board though. That is what wooden plates are for, right?
I came back from the event sore, oh so sore, but also more enthusiastic about getting past projects completed and new ones started. And doing the kind of household chores that nag one like bad hangnails. It has been a busy week as I tackle this or that.
