Seasons in California

Here's proof that there really are seasons in California. You just have to know where to look!

LJ cut's aren't working for some reason, so here are the pics!


Yes, this is just a couple of trees, but we were in the Sacramento area, and all along the freeways, the American River, and Old Town Sac, there were loads of wonderful trees in shades of amber, yellow, red, maroon. It was gorgeous.

I gathered some and ironed them between waxed paper. Now they are in my windows. A little reminder of our Thanksgiving travels:


I hope everyone here in the US had a lovely Thanksgiving!

For the first time in my life, I beat the boss in a computer game. I totally suck at computer/console games, so this is an accomplishment for me.

I recall being at a party and playing Vib Ribbon. My suckage was the main entertainment for a short period. Kinda funny, actually.

I had one pumpkin's worth of lovely seeds. Cleaned, dried on a cookie sheet, and set aside to roast later. Moldy. I had them in a ziplock bag and forgot about them. Darn it!!!

Dreamland

This morning I dreamed that I was tearing through a mostly clear cut forest with another woman. We were in renaissance/fantasy clothes, and she was hacking at trees/tree stumps as we flew by for some sort of revenge. For what, I have no idea. Then we came across a stump that was about waist high or so, and on top of it was the lump of evil/roast in the toaster from Time Bandits. She stopped and gazed at it, and I thought in my head "Don't touch it. It's Eeeevil", but didn't say it out loud. Then I woke up. Wacky.

On a side note, Time Bandits was the first movie that I ever went to with a date.

I have an art mug that holds about 32 ounces. When I am drinking tea because I'm cold, this is often the cup that I'll use. I just added a quarter teaspoon of Watkin's Vanilla to it. My base is Irish Breakfast. Add milk and sugar. WOW!!! Probably not the most economic use of my vanilla, but oooh so good!

To Tea, or Not to Tea, that is the question.......

Anyone else going and want to chime in here? I'm a tea nut, so it would be kinda stupid for me to pass this up, as it's $20, and last year's menu looks like it was completely scrumptious.

Any of my friends going who are planning on tea?

My inquiring mind wants to know.

Ashley's Costume

I just finished a tiny bonnet for Ashley out of black satin with cat ears for her! It's lined in two layers of pink flannel purloined from a sacrificed receiving blanket, and the ears are lined in pink dupioni. It's pretty cute, if I say so myself. Pics later.

Pink Italian

Progress thus far on the pink Italian. It's a hybrid of styles spanning about 50 years, but I needed it to work in certain ways; no corset (nursing bra), easy access for nursing, easy to chase toddler, small budget, and look nice.

Tomorrow the dress should be mostly done, but I'm not wearing it until Sunday, so I actually have lots of time at this point.

Left to do:
Hem
Turn sides of open front
Underskirt
Closures
Capulet (if time)
Pouch (if time)

Pics under the cut... )

Who ordered the Hot???

I've been planning on attending an SCA event on Sunday. I'm even finishing up clothes for the girls and I. I just checked the forecast. It's supposed to be 90 degrees! When I checked a few days ago, the high was supposed to be 80-something.

I'll have to pick up a small cooler for ice. Just what I need, more logistics!
