Recount: Ten Total

Spent considerable time Friday putting together half a dozen leather covered journals using leather upholstery samples for the covers.  I decided to leave the grommets on rather than trimming them away so the books can be hung from the belt with a length of cord or ribbon.  I used them for Twelfth Night household gifts.  I would have made more for largess but ran out of paper for the quires but I'll still do this sometime the next couple weeks.  While I had the leather out I recovered a 'boughten' journal with green leather to surprise Leofwyna.

I'm reconsidering how I'm counting for the stash challenge.  The quilt tops for the mission quilts will be counted as one unit as will the leather covered journals.  I want to be motivated to deal with a LOT more of the stash to get to the fifty count.

FRIDAY

Had a quiet day while Leofwyna was at work so I put together half a dozen leather covered journals to use for Twelfth Night gifts tomorrow.  Made a run to the office supply store for more rubber cement but didn't think to pick up more paper so that's left to do another day.   While I was at it I also recovered a 'boughten' journal with green leather as a surprize for Leofwyna.   Finally I really got on the ball and cleaned up the kitchen and got organized for tomorrow's event... I'm pretty much ready to go.

SATURDAY

Went to Twelfth Night today with Leofwyna and Odierne and met up there with our guest, Shane, who may become a new active member in our barony.  He was really interested in everything and was already making plans.  He looked darned good in a grey tunic and my Celtic embroidered blue mantle.  I received nice prezzies, a book, handknit wool socks, a big spool of linen thread and my favorite orange-chocolate cookies.  The feast done by the Cooks' Guild was, I think, the best I can remember... yummy!
