Various updating, no pictures yet.

The pictures are still in limbo. Elise is getting the black and whites this Friday, and I'll drop off the color film on Thursday. We'll get them up, I promise.

I'm in the middle of a niece Halloween costume project. 10 month old twins who will be a lady bug and a honey bee. I'll get pics soon. Super cute stuff.

The cider pressing was great fun, and I even got some raw cider to take home. Delicious. It was good to see folks too.

This weekend is Vikings Come Home. Emma is coming with me on the ride up. I'm taking the period tent to test it in cold (HA!) weather. I don't know if it could get worse than Pennsic weather as far as wet, but it sure could be colder and frostier. That's what wool bedding is for! Still debating on taking the bed or not. If it fits in my car, up it goes. But I'm afraid it won't, especially the main plywood board. Corwyna said she'd take some of it if necessary, so I'll try it out on Thursday and see how much extra room I need. The set up isn't any more annoying than my crappy dome tent, and definitely more sturdy.

I got gifted another sewing machine. Singer. Real cool. Thanks Fiaecre(sp?)!

ATTENTION!

Anne de la Mare has lost her whole collections of garb to a unresponsive landlord and mold. We'll be collecting a bit of this and that to re-garb her. *******If you have any fabric or time or beads or anything to donate, let me know.********* The poor lady lost a really nice Tudor French hood, and almost and entire late Tudor outfit with hand beading, among other things. She lost her patterns, and most of the extra fabric too. Her main persona time period is 1450's northern France, so if you have anything you're contemplating getting rid of for a lady in the approximate size range of 16-20, feel free to let me know and we'll arrange to pay for shipping.

Yours in Service,
