More Pennsic
Aug. 15th, 2011 05:23 pmA lot of pennsic was spent sitting, walking to go sit somewhere else, drinking slushies and when that was all too much, I spent time sitting. There was much sitting. I finished up Lucan's armor, Larry's armor, delivered Donovan's doublet, Alys' jacket, Griff's cassocks and Rosinavs dress.
I wasn't able to get a muslin made for HRH, but I did get a pattern set, so we will be able to start the dress. The design has been squeed and approved. I picked up the spangles from RH, but since they were out of gold, I got silver. $35 later and I was the proud owner of 5 bags of silver and 2 new needle packs. It always amazes me that I can spend so much and get so little at that store. But the dress will be fabulous. :D
I went to Darkwood for a little blade tune up. The pommel on my primary weapon was a bit heavy and hard for me to hold. They swapped out the pommel and hopefully that will do the trick.
Camp continues to be filled with awesome and win. It is just the right combination of introverts and hiding out that make our little camp on the hill ideal for us. Though I think I could have done with a little less Koom-bye-ya. I'm not able to come out of my shell that much.
I didn't get to play with the gunns this war. Foot in a boot, bad for trying to walk on the uneven grass. Next year. But this meant I could try other things, like the watch dispatch. OOOOOODLES of fun.
A: Watch base to blue cart. Raaa-dee-ooo check.
I: Should you be driving the dispatch tent in your condition?
A: I haven't lost anyone... yet.
I: How do you know?
A: I. Just. Know.
Pennsic was re-energizing. Empowering even. I am excited by my mistake with sugar. The armatures is going well and I am venturing into areas that have only just been started being explored. I am finding help in the neatest of places. Conversations with leather workers and illustrators. People you don't expect to be able to help, have the answers I've been looking for. Now all I have to do is create cohesion.
And then I can run. Run far and fast. And get lost in that place in my brain where creativity and art and happiness dwells.
