Am I back? Maybe.
I find that it's much too easy for me to spend entirely too much time on the internet, especially on things like lj and fb. So as usual, I've been taking a bit of a break to Get Stuff Done.
Crown was fun, despite the weather. I stayed toasty in the first wearing of my new black-on-blacks, and got compliments.* Also ended up with a very muddy apron from having entirely too much fun paying with dogs. Saw folks, ran around, etc.
Yesterday I FINALLY put the skirt on Maleficent (my black and green Saxon,) so now she's in a wearable state.** I have absolutely no idea when I'll wear her, though, because this tourney season it's time for me to go all 14th-century again. I also started some surface embroidery on the neckline of my hembd, because the pleating pulled out *again* this weekend. Not sure what my next project will be - my commission queue is very close to clear, so mostly I'm waiting for the Muse to strike.
Not much else to report. I'm still not employed by anyone else, still happily getting rid of stuff, struggling with weight maintenance, and still very much in love with J! We can afford to stay in our place through June at least, and that's good. And today I get to see Kiffny and spend a birthday with Debbie, and that's great. :-)
* Yeah, yeah. Pictures. I know.
