Life in My Shoes

femkes_folliesSo, returning to life in my little planetoid:
This weekend, I hit the Fiber Festival with Lisa and Paul. (No, not THAT kind of fiber. Yarn and wool, ya sillies). I came home with a few skeins of yarn for various things, a shawl pattern (50 rows in and already screwed it up. *head desk), and plans to try to sucker Dad into building me a swift.
Sunday we hit the Lansing Feis. To my relief, Liesl enjoyed it thoroughly. I don't know if it was the earplugs, the absence of "Frau Blucher", or just starting to dissociate whatever it was that she disliked so from the dancing itself - she was hopping around and going "One, two, one, two" for all she was worth. She also insisted in getting the next book in a series of mysteries whose main character is an Irish Dancer. This included buying the book, having it signed, and sitting in the lap of the author for a picture. Sweetly, said author remembered her from last year and was very kind. We read the first chapter last night at bed time.
I've gotten back in the saddle a bit on a couple fronts. I posted my bread recipe on my GF blog:
http://glutenfreegoesvintage.blogspot.com/
I promise to be a bit more faithful to it in the future.
I've also started a new blog just to chronicle day to day things with my girls. Their educations, their dietary requirements, and even dance and all the little facets of seeing life through Autism. Not because I think anybody is interested but because it's basically my journal. Heh. Tonight I should probably style it and have it ready for launch soonish.
Thanks to Jerusha, I happened across the FB group on Elizabethan costuming. They were discussing the Cheese ladies. I jumped in and made some new friends. Interestingly, I get a LOT more props from people OOK than I do in. :-D Heh. Possibly, given my recent improvements with messing with GIMP, I will delve a bit deeper into the Cheese Ladies. Possibly New Friend will also visit and get pictures.
Anyway, lots of little things to do, including editting other people's stuff for the Campaign Against SCArb (Even if I don't think the SCA will survive its encounter with Liability Law). Design a few more T-shirts. Make a shopping list for the Pat Roche Feis and for Christmas shopping in general. To say nothing of filling out paperwork for the new school year and finding dance classes for BOTH girls.
*whew* No wonder I'm tired!
