The Secret Pal Box
Apr. 8th, 2007 10:01 pmSooo.... I FINALLY managed a photo, courtesy of a friend and some E-mail hassles.
Such fun goodies. A super-nifty-keen book on Calligraphy and Illumination. Some scrumptious hand dyed merino roving. Chocolate. More chocolate. Coffee that I must share with my technicians as fee for the picture or risk being locked in the dark room. And some peony herbal tea, I think. Plus the super-cute sheepy mug.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went home for the weekend. Dad (quite unintentionally) made me feel inadequate on several levels. His conversations with me about Boo also make me feel like I don't do enough as a parent. *sigh*
MAYBE I'll even throw together a class for the Collegium on late period smocks and shirts. It wouldn't take long to put together a handout of directions on how to make them. And I've got functional examples of various types. I'll see what they need.
Clancy Day went off without a hitch even without me, though apparently there were some last minute AoAs. The local Seneschal wants to assign those personally, but I asked that they contact Angelique FIRST. Sometimes those turn out to have been given at an event but not yet given out and I CRINGE at extra work for the scribes.
I also found some cotton organdy at JoAnns (which was shocking in and of itself) on clearance for $2/yd. So I cleaned them out. Around 7 yds, I think. Should keep my occupewed for a bit. I also picked up some linen blend for a new cote for John and some tissue linen for a chemise for A&S.
Oh, and Dad finished my octagonal table. I'm hoping to get some carving help at the Collegium so I can carve the panels. It would be EXTRA spiffy. Not that a solid walnut side table for event use isn't spiffy in and of itself. And Dad intends to provide a matching chest soon, too.
I'm in an odd mood. Darling and I had a rather deep, esoteric conversation ranging over a variety of topics on the way home. Despite all evidence to the contrary, I still anticipate a reversal of fortunes at some point. The Universe probably just thinks I'm REALLY thick. And will undoubtedly kick me in the shins again. But to Hell with it, I'm going to forge on ahead and see what happens. So there.
