This is a placer-post - I got to pull together what I want to say about Calontir's coronation, the drive down and the drive home, and how good it feels to have Gin home. But first, I want to get a post in about the fighter practice with Heraldshill, which goes over on the Iron Rose blog. So yeah, tomorrow over coffee I think.

OMG this is funny.
OMG I had fun last night. Went shopping with a friend and her daughter for clothes for a special trip. Her trip; my special trips involve sewing up medieval gunny sacks and calling it fancy garb. But anyway, it was good. I'd forgotten how much fun a young child can be, playing and interacting and having a good time.
We both like the new maternity tops as everyday casual that is out there right now, if the cut is right and they don't actually make you look pregnant. Not something I enjoy.
I don't like the tight, tight button-up shirts being worn over t-tops either. And, until I found some pants at $4.99 each, wasn't crazy about the pants that end at the hip bones. OK, slightly above those hip bones.
Let me tell you, though, I'm sticking to my diet today. Something about that edge of fabric skimming over my tummy and the lower edge of my back that makes me say "I don't think I'll eat right now."
Do'ya think I can diet enough to make these pants in danger of falling off?? That's an interesting goal I'd not even imagined this time yesterday. But now today, hum..... if the trick works, use it!
Oh, and these pants feel fabulous. I feel good in them. Maybe will go see about getting some more!
I got 24 bottles of mead corked tonight! The sugar from the honey is all gone, btw, so it's about 27% proof. And dry, dry, dry. Not tasty yet but I'm hopeful it ages well.
So...now what do I make??
Friday evening, a group of us headed out into the snowy world to attend Artful Haire Affair. It was an A&S event, with classes, competition and lots of comradary. We stayed up until 1:30, talking and sharing; it was sorta hard to get up the next morning when my head would not let me stay in bed any longer.
The site is an old church turned into an art center so has some huge gathering spaces. We used them; it was a well-ran event. Plenty of rooms for our needs such as Niklos' final vigil. My garlic cheese got some praise, always fun. I got to talk to my boss, Mairghread, who is also on vigil, and I learned to nalbind, one of the few things I've not been able to teach myself out of books. It's not as easy as it looks, lol. Gavin got a Bridget's Flame which is a great and well-deserved honor; I am happy for him. And I got to visit with lots and lots of people. Great time!
