Weekend Wrap Up
Feb. 6th, 2006 07:22 amSaturday evening was described in the last post...we relaxed with friends and didn't work on projects which was good. Sunday morning for me dawned kinda early (7:30am) and it was too dark in the bedroom to read so I got up and got my gambeson seams reinforced, pants finished minus hemming and sewed all of the boars down on the trim. Butterfly decided that the extra boars were toys and chewed them up...yeah, was so not happ with that. While getting coffee I noticed that Tati's keys were still at our house. Called them up and they said they would stop by to get them. Curren called to say that he'd be stopping by over the week to drop stuff off for storage while in Australlia and I relaxed watching Sherlock Holmes and sewing until Tati/mingo arrived. Now, mel was still in bed and they asked if breakfast would be good. I said "I'll check." Mel was snuggled up with butterfly who was showing her "I just woke up face" Breakfast sounded good to him and a little bit later we were off to Joe's Pancake House. This was Tati's last time eating there since she was heading back to Phx that day and they move after Estrella. So, sad.
Then mel and I got dropped off at home, packed up the packs and headed to the gem show. The TEP show wasn't too great or maybe mel and I had specific things and shopped for what we wanted and weren't in the looking mood. I got some bead tools, display cases and my ultrasonic cleaner and mel pickup up tools as well. We ran in to Curren and a few SCA folks. Then we headed off to Hotel row and started off at the South end and made it to what used to be the Days Inn show. I got some carnelian, rock crystal, pearls and garnet beads and then we were wanting beer. We ate at Bennigan's and had wonderful hamburgers. The guiness was perfect too. Ran into Curren again as we were leaving.
Got home and started in on reinforcing the seams on mel's gambeson. Note to self 1)reinforce seams before its on the the coat and 2)put the stoopid gusset under the arm to make my life easier for mel's coat. I finished that while chatting with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scribe_ari on the phone and then set the coats for hanging so I can cut the hems the easiest. I then sat down and started in on finishing the trim on the link coat. I'm going to finish it and then later put on the boars. I got the cuffs and part of the collar done.
Today work is going to be lots of paperwork and drawing markups. I have to get stuff done. Plus I need to order some material for testing..gah. Too much to do in a week's time. After that I will be heading home to sew the gambeson's together before the last sushi date with mingo...then to scribble. I hope to finish all of the painting on the 3 scrolls tonight and then have the calligraphy ready to start on Tuesday. I will probably not be heading to practice since I have much to finish. Well, off to go.
