Made myself a list this morning so I wouldn't forget anything. Emilye is coming over this evening with fabric for me to sew up for Murdoch as he's going to Astrella where it may well be Cold and he needs more clothes. So I vacuumed and cleaned up the kitchen, then I posted the ledger preparing for fourth quarter and Domesday reports. Now when the statement does arrive (hopefully tomorrow) I can balance it too and fill in the report forms ASAP. I need to get that to Natalya this weekend.
When Emilye arrived (surprise Murdoch was with her) they'd brought a blue stripe duck for fighter pants and a yellow and black stripe upholstery cotton that's enough for both a tunic and fighter pants (no, he won't wear them at the same time). There's a couple pair of pants to shorten the length on, too. They were talking about ordering wool for a warm cote and another tunic and Leofwyna popped up and went downstairs to her stash. Came back up with a diaper-woven heavy wool for the cote, lightweight white wool to line it with (and taupe dye to make it less Bright) and some camel wool flannel for pants. She also had a short piece of heavy wool that'll be a nice sleeveless surcoat to layer warm with. They were thrilled and bought those from her and will wash/shrink the cote fabrics and bring it back for me to sew up. I also lent him my grey silk-wool tunic with the rust ikat trim for an extra layer... it'll look great with the new surcoat without being bulky. My-my, he'll be looking grand in service to our king.
