Things I got done while mum was here

[norsegirl]

Mum visiting allowed me a little time to wrap up some projects this week.

First I made some cloth wipes because I realized after a week and a half of being home from the hospital and going through 2 full packages of disposable wipes that continuing to purchase and use those was stupid beyond words. 8" square flannelette in white, edged with a serger, works great. Also tossed together a few more receiving blankets. Still have more fabric that I could turn into blankets and a few more wipes that I haven't serged yet. Might get to that later, like over the weekend when Jason is home and can watch Georgia.

The giftie mobiles are all done.

Kitties, mice and ball all sewn up and ready to be attached to the supports:

Longships before assembly:


Longships all strung up:





I'd still like to make a mobile for Georgia, but that project is obviously on hold for now. Also realized this week that I've got a garb problem... I don't presently own anything that I can breast feed in. If I'm going to Odette's elevation I'm going to have to throw something together this week. Rats.

I'm just feeling the viking thing or the Roman thing more than the Tudor thing lately.
I understand that completely- we're doing a Norse event the weekend after Coronation and I just can't get up the enthusiasm to make anything new for it (I'll be wearing a generic Norse tunic that's in my garb stash). For the past few years, early period just doesn't feel 'right' for me and I don't feel nearly as comfortable in my earlier stuff as I do in my shinrones.

Hmm, I've never heard of that pattern before- is there a picture online somewhere of it? It sounds interesting, and I don't think anything like it was used as examples of clothing in our event 'prep' meetings.

It's a popular pattern out in An Tir, but one that I've never tried. I'm not sure where the documentation comes from, but I trust my source (the woman who told me about the pattern). I'll send pics or you can just look at it at Coronation if I get it done by then.

That would be great- it sounds really interesting. :)
