Maker Faire day :D And Ball day!
All Ball photos from Doris~
She took many lovely photos, and if you click them it'll take you to her album which you should check out!
So the day before I looked up stuff going on at Maker Faire and I really, really, wanted to get there in time to see this cheese making demo :D The demo was 30 min after the opening of the faire, so I was a little worried because the lines can be really long. Not only did we get there in time! But we were the first people there, and the first 15 people got to take home cheese :D
Well, it wasn’t cheese yet, just the start of cheese.
The demo/lecture was given by The San Francisco Milk Maid. And omggggg, all I want to do is make cheese now. I don’t know why it never occurred to me to look into cheese making before, but it’s happening. It’s not happening yet ‘cause I wanna get through the con season, then after this season I wanted to take a cos break anyway so what better timing than that to immerse myself in a new hobby (just what I needed >.<).
I don’t even know how to describe the lecture, this lady LOVES cheese, and she’s so enthusiastic, and so cute, it was a really fabulous demo. I can’t wait to get started!
There was a lot of good info for urban farming, mentally filed all that away.
There seemed to be an especially strong “etsy” presence, more arty stuff than usual but not really like... crafting. More like.. hipster etsy? Other than that the BIG THING this year (and saying that, I can’t quite remember what the big thing last year was...) was 3D printing. Which is awesome. And I really want a 3D printer (they’re surprisingly affordable @.@) but I can’t actually think of what I’d do with it, so I’m resisting for now. But soon I’ll probably have one just because everyone will have one. My mum said they’re the price of the first paper printer she bought sooooo, yeah.
Mainly I want to make cheese, I’d like to get back into drawing and painting, wasn’t particularly inspired to sew like usual, and cheese.
So then zoomed home, where both D &
twjudy were early D:
So I zoomed mah girly makeup & changed my underclothes to the right shoes, socks, & leggings. Then AJ showed up and TO THE BALL~!
Actually we stopped at Safeway first because it was potluck (and me, with my grey leggings with white socks over them and green shoes.... 8D) (though to be fair, the other ladies had their hair all fancied already, whereas I would be putting a wig on).
Anyway! We changed mostly in the parking lot then finished up in their convenient changing room and Judy did up my hair/wig really nicely :D
I’m so glad she’d already done her hair similar, or else I’d have had to have done lots of wavy hand motions to explain what I had in mind, instead I just got to say “Like yours!”
Look they’re like twins! XDDD
So it was a little smaller and less well attended than I had thought it would be, since it was for the 200th anniversary of Pride & Prejudice I just kinda assumed, 200! Big deal!
That said!
There were waaaay more dudes than I had been expecting! And not all of them looked like they’d just been dragged along XD
This pic is totally due to AJ, ‘cause she just got through telling me to sit up straight. I slouch something fierce and I’m really trying not to >.<
They would do a country dance, where they taught you, and then a waltz or free dance or whatever they called it. I can’t dance. Like at all. So D & I did most of the country dances.
This is my favourite pic D took, because you can’t see my face, and I look like I know what I’m doing!
We stayed just the right amount of time I think, ‘cause really there wasn’t a whole lot to do except... dance. Duh. But when I *did* dance inside I was just like “Omgggg just like the moviiiiies 8D” So, SUCCESS!
I’m so happy I know such lovely and wonderful ladies ;_______;
