dixon_greenSCA last night was quite the whirlwind. I had both bows and beads to juggle, and somehow I managed. Only broke three fingernails, too!
Now most of the loaner bows have new strings, including 3 or 4 of the ones for kids. Most of the strings still need serving and nocks, but this is definitely a good start. Etienne taught the class, and we had almost more people than be could manage making strings. I made one, too.
While doing that, I was also "farming out" veil kits to friends. Three friends, five veils. Not bad at all. I had my hands full of bow strings while giving advice on color design and construction, and while dispensing beads for the projects. I think I got everyone enough of the beads they need to get the veils done, except for Ingeleif. She wants to go a gold-based fringe, and I hadn't brought enough gold with me. Well, if more beads are needed, I still have plenty to spread around.
At dinner, I taught Ekat how to make the fringe on the veil. Dead easy, and she caught on immediately. This is going to be great!
But this cold is nasty. I didn't wear my gloves for the half block from my car to apartment, and my hands HURT by the time I tried to unlock the door. With it so cold, the heat is turned on high in my apartment building. I didn't sleep well at all last night because it was too WARM. And I had windows open!
So today has been a draggy fight against poor sleep, no breakfast, and a nagging headache. I'm going home now - by bus, dammit I'm not walking a mile if I don't have to - and I'm going to try and get some sleep before tackling my ongoing computer problems.
