Everything’s done except about five minutes of handsewing! Rose bead docs are done, unless I want to add a reference to the OED, which I received from Meg after I’d finished. Head form has been covered and mask is on it. Rose beads are strung (with pale pink pearls for contrast) and put in a red-velvet-lined box. The German placket and the velvet for beneath it have been lightly ironed.

I’m not getting a call back for the job. The letter said they were narrowing it down from the people “whose background and experience more closely match the responsiblities of the position.” Um. It’s a PE job. I was a PE for 4 years. I matched all the qualifications listed. But you know what? It’s okay. I’ll live.

Oops, wait, have to sew gems onto the ends of my protégé armband.

Done. Done donity done. I plan on having a fabulous event tomorrow (Ken’s stepping up as Baronial Herald, I’m to be a Companion on Baronial Court, and there will be a lovely feast at which we are serving; then our friend Ismay is staying the night). Sunday is a GWW meeting at the site, in garb, so they can take pictures of us to post at the event when people need to find us. And then, my pets, I vote for an evening of relaxation, followed by a week of work. That won’t happen, though. I know I’ll get home from the meeting on Sunday and dive right into stuff.
