No restraint. I have none.
Tonight after work I am going to a project night and will finish the hat. I am giving up on completing the butterscotch coat before Estrella, because as of last night I have a 2 new outfits to add to my list. A dear friend is receiving his Pelican at March Crown, and I promised to "take care of the clothes." (Yeah, yeah, Moi - I know I said I wasn't going to take on anything else this spring...) He's firmly 11th c, which is good for me, because it's much easier to make non-fitted garb long-distance. But it means four new tunics (over/under for his vigil, over/under for his ceremony,) and I'd rather start on those ASAP than have a coat I may not wear very much. Besides, it takes the pressure off on finding the right wool for the embroidery.
Last night I also went a little overboard with the book ordering - bad DBBC! Curse you for your evil temptations! The fact that I'd had 2 glasses of port before looking at the Online Bookstore of Doom probably had something to do with my lack of restraint. But at lease some of what I ordered relates to either the round table or to the PPF, which is fine, and even justifiable. The - ahem - exceptions were for stuff I couldn't resist and for the early 16th c. dress project... (nightbocce has me all stirred up.)
