Musings About Writing and Stories About Life

She's like the girl in the movie when the Spitfire falls
Like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford
She's like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward
Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors

Threes

It?s 03/03/03! How fun is that?

I was terribly productive today, although not entirely successful in anything. I had my chiro and massage, then picked up wunder-under so I could work on my velvet banner for Pentathlon. I got most of the SCA filing done, but I ran out of plastic tabs for the hanging file folders (and they?re rigid tabs, not the flimsy ones), so there?s still a pile on the desk. And a pile of stuff to put into the A&S notebook, and a pile of rapier info to put into a rapier notebook. So, not quite done.

Then there was the banner experience. Lesson learned: the back of velvet does _not_ stick to wunder-under. So I walked away from that. Later in the evening, Ken and I reviewed the options, and I?m no longer making a velvet banner, but a dupioni silk one. I even had all the silk (another big piece of purple and a big piece of white to go with the piece of purple I?d bought to back the velvet banner)?quelle surprise. Not. We?re such fabric junkies. I realised I had all the fabric for at least four Italians (purple and black satin, red/gold/black brocade, green and black satin/velvet, and one other that?s escaping me now). I think if we just worked on project for which we had fabric, and worked steadily, we?d finish by the end of the year. Maybe.

I started to work on BH, doing some freeform writing to figure out a snag in the plot, but Ken came home earlier than I expected. We had dinner and went out to the sewing room early and puttered before the other folks showed up. I finished my brick oak-leaf-dagged cotehardie except for sewing it down the front, which will just take a few minutes. Nice to have another project off the list (well, almost). The banner is now the first priority. Then, at some point, I need to get together with Ceridwen to hash out a new Italian pattern for me, as her Italians fit me almost perfectly.

And now, to bed!
