Tuesday C&I
Since Barb has got me thinking of Tuesday’s as sketch/art days, I decided to work on a scroll blank during quiet time today. The color copy is the inspiration for this one. I like this style because it is so much like doodling. Granted my versions are usually not as airy as the original piece. [...]

Some Days
It just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. *groan* Today was one of those days. I just tried to do too much and am paying for it now. Or I will be once I pay the parking ticket. Went to Fall RUSH today. Was supposed to be helping at the event. Almost attended the [...]
B is for
Well, I can’t tell ya ‘coz it would ruin the surprise for somebody. I’ve finally made myself take the time to spend a little time here and there to work on scribey stuff. This took me 2 30-minute sessions. Inside the letter will be guilded. The letter itself will be blue with white work inside. [...]
Estrella Bound
Since Bob has promised our presence at Estrella next year, the planning has begun. I’ve worked up a beginning budget and it seems doable. If we can save $200/mo starting with July, we can do it. We can save that much IF we don’t eat out and IF we adhere to a strict grocery budget. [...]
Name Musings
My quandry over a name for my 10th century Danish persona is nothing but worse. At first I liked the name Ithunn (pronunced EYE-thewn with the “th” being aspirated as in “that”.”) Now, I am now so sure. Bob and I had intended to submit new names at Lilies but didn’t get a chance. So [...]

Back from Lilies
We did it! Our first overnight camping trip in years. We arrived Friday evening in time to see the fireworks. It was really hot still and we pretty much just climbed onto (not into) our sleeping bags once camp was set. I was very itchy and worried that I wouldn’t make it through the night [...]
Packing Up
Today will be spent packing everything (including the kitchen sink) into the minivan so that we can leave when Bob gets here. ‘Course I need to clean out the minivan first. Then there’s shopping for food. I finished Jessie’s Eura dress. It is very cute with the machine embroidery on it. Mine is put together [...]

Rambling Blahs
WARNING: incoherent drivel follows I have Benedryl incuded blahs this morning. I love what it does for me… reduces the swelling and itching when my dermatitis gets really bad, BUT I hate what it does to me… very foggy hard to think blahs. So, I am thinking it is time to take this to a [...]
Outing Cancelled
because Mom’s a wimp… a scatterbrained one at that. While I did remember to reserve a boarding spot at the vet for Kirby, I forgot to actually take him there. Whoops. We’re sitting there at dinner when Sam said, “Mom, aren’t we supposed to take Kirby to the vet?” It was 7:30pm. He was supposed [...]
Norse Names
Between all the usual goings on, Bob and I are trying to come up with new SCA names that have a Norse background. Here are my pics so far: Gerðr – The name Gerðr is from Primitive Scandinavian *garðior, or may be related to Old Icelandic gerðistún, “garden”. Arndís or Disa -dís is identical with [...]
