The wedding

Lisa and Jeff's wedding last night went off beautifully. She looked stunning in her dress and he looked smashing in his tux. There were a few snafu's like the tux place screwing up the order on the vests and having to come out and fix it in the parking lot, but other than that everything went wonderfully. I went and got my hair done at a salon yesterday. I hated the style but everybody said it looked wonderful. She used so much hairspray on it that the curls honestly felt like paper, it took 3 shampoos to get it out of my hair, and its still not out all the way. I think hairspray should be banned.

The live band at the reception was totally fun and I got their business card so hopefully we could book them for the ship's Christmas party, which I think Matt has to plan. Anything, including silence, would be better than the lame duck DJ they had last year.

Right now I am:
-Feeling zombieish
-Waiting for the caffine and chocolate to kick in, somehow I don't think they are going to though...
-Mincing around on tender feet from my shoes and all the dancing I did yesterday.
-Contemplating a nap, but needing to sew like a maniac instead. More about that in the next post.

Sewing like a mad woman, again

You know, one of these days I am going to be able to sit down, sew and finish projects without a looming deadline, wonder when that's gonna happen? ;) Probably no time soon.

A little update: So next weekend is SSUT, South Sound Unity Test. All the SCA branches in the Puget Sound area are getting together and having their Champions, past Champions and novices enter things in a competion and the branch with the most medalions at the end wins.

Our dear Baroness, Anne-Marie, has decided that we are going to put forth our best effort to crush the competition and win. So, as a novice, I am going to be entering my orange and black dress in the competition.

But this just suddenly occured to me.... I probably can't wear it while its on display and being judged. So this means that its either the blue wool or my regular clothes. Or I could enter the blue wool Enn's dress, but its not as flashy as the orange and thus less likely to get votes.

This means that I am going to be working on the Pink Augsburg dress this week, as well as a new linen partlet and finishing up my new smock. The orange/black dress was a preliminary dress to the Pink A dress, which means that I am not really cutting any new ground, I have all the patterns made up and know exactly what needs to be done, now I just need to find the energy to get it done.

Anybody got a hyperactive kid who could let me borrow some energy from? Thinking something along the lines of a energy transfer thingy.
