Here we are at a Monday...and its December..wtfo?

Seriously, its December 1st already. Wasn't it just after pennsic? I'm not quite prepared for it to be december yet but I guess I will cope. Much to do before the 18th of December. Woohhhh.

So, sunday was working on armour and kid wrangling. I tried to entertain Christopher and Tristan (Auddy and Allison's boys) while they made shoe patterns..it was mostly successful but my living room hasn't been kid proofed in a while since we've been working on leather and armor etc. I need to have mel find a place for all of that..seriously. But it worked out even though little Tristan was uber tired. Got back to armor and watching hellboy 2. Fun movie...very cheezy in places but the visuals were awesome and it was campy. By the time bedtime rolled around my fingers ached from lacing and I have 4 long straps and the front placard to attach and the harness is complete. I have one plate left over...just one. I do have plans for a decorative skirting but we are almost out of leather for that. I got the last piece of good oil tanned redyed for the placard and the straps for the sides but at least all of the buckles are on and its just straps...much less time to lace on. So hopefully I'm in okay shape enough to finish that before scribble tonight.

I say that cause this afternoon is the first round of allergy testing..last time (many years ago) it was very uncomfortable. We shall see. But work has been quiet so far and I've been steadily working on my hot cn. Should be able to get it into review with drafting today. Crossing fingers.

I have to finish designing our personal banners and find my silk frame...its gone missing. I thought meg had it and she said she only had her one and she loaned it to raylee...who knows. Friday might be me building another one. Sighs. But this weekend will be the first sets of banners with the new process. I just need to decided on my banner style. The baronial one's were easy...our personals are harder....not sure why...but they are. Eh. I'll manage I'm sure...just don't have that artist bug going on in my brain..I have other ones that are biting me about all of the fabric that is in my studio right now. Just need to get stuff cutout for taking with me on holiday. Speaking of sir_tighearnain I need that fabric...thanks.

So, hopefully this week won't be too crazy...I have lots to do.

This has been rattling round my brain for a bit...

So, I know when I'm too tired to drive because I can't operate my stickshift at all well....so I wonder..is the increase in drunk/tired drivers from people driving easy automatics versus a manual transmission? I wonder....

Course if we had cool things like the "scootermen" in London...maybe we wouldn't have so many issues.
