Goodness gracious. The last time I posted was in October? Well, let's get caught up on the highlights shall we?

• I traded in my 2012 Beetle for a 2013 Beetle convertible in October. It's almost the same car (and package, warranty, etc) except that it is a year newer, has leather interior, and is a soft-top convertible. I drove it with the top down

I am, indeed, and it would be lovely to see you. I hope your bullying is successful. :-)

The SteamPunk work sounds like a lot of fun. I'm halfway through formulating my first real prime-time outfit.

Outstanding! I'll keep you apprised of any local goings-on.

Hooray for having fun with steampunk stuff! And good friends! And family!

I would say that if you decide to keep your other bikes in the basement, the 50 pounder should stay in a more reasonable location. While weight lifting is great exercise, I don't think you should do it on stairs :)

Heehee, true enough! And I suppose she's a pretty enough bike to leave out on "display" as it were even if she doesn't quite match the decor. It'd be weird to redecorate the dining room around a bike, wouldn't it?

Not at all! There's even a "bikes as decor" topic on pinterest (http://www.pinterest.com/specializedwmn/bikes-as-decor/) :)

I needed a new rabbit hole, hee!

Let me know if you want to work on props. I have an actual mad science lab, after all... and 75 pounds of Victorian salvage.

Whoo hoo! Thank you for the offer; I will absolutely take you up on it. I need to figure out in which direction I want to go with the props.

Are you completely getting out of the SCA? That would be sad :(

Setting up a new craft room sounds fun - I want more space, but there just isn't room for it. Mostly I need to focus on getting things cleaned up and organized again.

We'll see. Being a kingdom deputy burned me out so badly and I lost my love for the game. I did have a wonderful time at Crown Tourney, though, most likely because I stayed away from any of the politics and spent the day with my nearest and dearest. I have a similar plan for 12th Night. :-)

I think I may be going this weekend, even though I have not pre-registered. I would just like to visit with folks.
