Okay... Its taken me ages longer to get back here to update then I thought it would. Fall Faire has come and gone and now we are looking squarely into Spring. The next thing up for us is of course Aiden Mckain's venetian dinner. Me and my stomach are really looking forward to this. I got to hear all the stories about the last one and it sounds like a blast. I also think Adrianne can use the experience of meeting more folks and being around mundanes while shes in costume. Do the girl some good!

I'm gonna try to get photos of the crowns I did up as well as the original one by Dad. I think they turned out smashingly well and an old friend that was well acquinted with my father's work mistook them for his. Considering that was the look I was going for I will take that as a success. Anyway you can see them in some of the photos I just put up but you may have to squint.

New projects are gonna be our banners. We need some not 20 years old and made of rip-stop nylon and so I figure I'll do up a pair proper. I got the stuff this weekend so we'll see how long it take to paint two 4 foot banners front and back with heraldry by hand!

I also found my next side project. Flasks! I found a great supplier for the steel hip flasks at a low low price so I think Im gonna tool up some wrappings and chase the buggers with silver and see what I can turn out. Should be saucy but I have to balance that with what I actually need to get done so we'll see.

I am looking at next Fall's outfit already. We all know good clothes take months to produce without breaking the bank and I'm thinking Landskeicht (sp?) for our court. I adore the puff and slash and the sheer mad boldness of the colours and styles of late germany too much to pass up this oppertunity so get ready folks. And for those wanting a colour scheme to follow (no thats not most of you, but still) think bright jewel tones; any bright jewel tone.

Alright Jeff. I have looked you up and found the place. I've staked a peice for me and mine and I've even dug out an old photo from a few years back to slap up (faces removed to protect the innocent of course... okay, mainly the dog). You'll have to excuse the mess but I just moved in here and I haven't sorted it all out just yet. I seem to be fond of that lately.

Anyway, place looks great! Neighbors seem friendly enough and I'll have a place to brag too once I get off my butt and start living up to my Father's name and making things again. So give me a few days and I'll be in touch again.
