etienettebluetTHURSDAY-FRIDAY
Alternating cleaning and sorting in my bedroom (interrupted by dust reactive gollywobbles) and computer searches for jobs and genealogy continues. Friday I organized my basket and change-tote for this weekend and I also located the linen tub and found two pieces that might work for bedlinens for Maude to take along for this weekend's project.
Whenever there's something I have to be up early for it's guaranteed I won't sleep so I've made a definite effort this couple days to pull my sleep schedule forward a few hours to make this weekend easier to handle. I was moderately successful in this but still got only three-and-a-half hours rather broken sleep. I took a Benadryl to help me catch the sleep 'wave' and missed it so took a second one. Got to sleep that time but dreamed an alarm bell and woke myself up again. The remaining sleep was definitely on the 'lite' side.
SATURDAY
On the drive down to KC (and home again tonight) I drowsed, missing a great deal of syntilatting conversation between Sash, Braganza and Kat. Once the sun came up Saturday morning I was able to rouse up, participate and start deconstructing a mid-weight linen skirt.
The event this weekend was Clothier's with five hours of classes and a Fashion Parade. With half a dozen choices each hour it was sometimes difficult to pick just one. Due to our time of arrival we missed out on the first set. I went to the Italian Renaissance in the second hour... checking to see if that's what I want to do with the red-gold brocade which still seems the likeliest. In the afternoon I went to the Chatelaines discussion and attended Sash's Garb Care class. I also got in a good amount of friend-and-new-acquaintance visiting while I continued hemming Maude's linen sheets and started a pillow.
I got a good seat at the end of the second row for court. I do like to be near the front to be able to see and hear everything. [I'll expand on court later when I find my notes.}
At the end of court the announcement was made that Mistress Luci had passed but no details were yet known. Clothier's ended with a spontaneous and beautifully poignant Non Nobis in her honor. If it hadn't been for Sash's apprentice weekend last year, to which she came with Marcella, I wouldn't have had the pleasure of getting to know her better myself. At events there're just so many people in her orbit someone as new and reticent as myself doesn't get very close.
SUNDAY
I went through some of my Rubbermaid tubs this afternoon... that's a dozen tubs holding my vintage quilts, wallhangings, wool blankets, camp bedding, camp garb and sca accessories. And I've written this blog three times now; not because it's difficult but because this dratted system has dumped it twice.
