12th night sewfest '07 & Mongolian site with Venetian nibbles

[raffaellasworld]

Whew, what a busy long weekend. Sewing, bezant striking, more sewing, then some more sewing with a little sewing on the side. It's looking absolutely stunning though, we'll have the sparkliest Majesties EVAR. I can't wait to see it on them.

I was just a helper monkey on this project but I have to give some serious props to the brain trust that planned this out. If the end result is even remotely living up to your original expectations, WOW. Just, Wow.

I had a lot of fun playing with the metal, and the social time was pretty spiffy. I had a chance to hang out with people I don't often get a chance to spend time with.

Now, I just need to see about cat wrangling for the ball and if there's time try to get my ball gown finished. I've got it all cut out, I just haven't had a chance to do any sewing on it at all other than getting the channels done for the boning of the bodice.

Oh, and here's a site both for my friend Dustin and myself. For him because it's the website for a mongolian group (check out the link to the boots D) and they've got several relish recipes redacted from Platina.

Oh, I've got some great stuff. Platina is good but there's also:

I highly recommend this one! The stuffed eggs have perpetually been a big hit, even with food weenies. They're essentially period develled eggs only instead of modern mayo you use a soft cheese and fresh ground herbs. I leave out the step of adding raw egg yoke and frying it at the end.

Mongolian Boots

Sweet aren't they. I was thinking about getting a pair of the 32-point boots.

If you need to sew long seams, just let me know.

And we should plan food for the big weekend...

[ayeshadream.livejournal.com]

What are you up to tonight (Thursday)? If you don't have class could I come up for a bit and get a few things done? If I could get the long side seams on the skirt and the machine sewing around part of the bodice done then the rest I can finish by hand.

Yes, food plans for the weekend would be good. I also found out that there are a couple of meetings back to back right at dinner time. I don't have to go but I'm planning on bringing some noshes for those who will be stuck.

[ethelberga.livejournal.com]

No class until next week. The place is a pit, but you're welcome to come by.

[ayeshadream.livejournal.com]

Alright! You're on, should I bring dinner or just pick up something for myself on the way?

[ethelberga.livejournal.com]

Probably pick up for yourself along the way. I'll probably have Ryan grab something for us or just heat up a can o' soup.

[ayeshadream.livejournal.com]

I'll be there as soon as I can then. My car is at the Northgate P&R, and I'll drive straight up from there so I should be there by 6ish.

I think I really need to re-start that diet tomorrow.

[ethelberga.livejournal.com]

heck, we probably won't be there until after 6. so you might even beat us there!

Cool. I've got all my fabric in the back of my jeep still. I'm telling myself it's being efficient, not that I really need to clean out my Jeep and I'm a slob.
