SATURDAY
I was upbright blurry and early to get to the community center by 8:30 for the mega-rummage sale. Since Leofwyna is our only wage earner currently I told her to get her sleep and come in at noon. We took turns looking around ourselves and then I left about 3:30. At home I sat to look over emails but instead dozed off into a 40-minute nap. When Leofwyna got home near 5:00 from we headed out to Valentino's buffet for supper. We agreed that we had quite a good day at the sale and Leofwyna pulled and priced another four boxes of stuff for me to put out in the morning.
I prepared for my afternoon tomorrow at Gathering of the Herd. I was doing my apple bean bake in the crockpot for the potluck supper so I sauted apples and onions and stirred that up with the brown sugar, cinnamon and catsup so all I have to do Sunday is combine this 'sauce' with beans in the crockpot; it just needs to be hot in time for supper. Then I assembled a brown bag for the A&S smack down challenge. Since I was unsure how this would work I probably included way too much but I had a couple generous pieces of heavy cotton fabric that could be used several ways. I added a couple large scraps of linen, some embroidery on green linen that could be used as trim, some fake ivory buttons, a long piece of twill tape, spools of thread and sewing tools.
SUNDAY
Didn't have to get up quite to early as the center didn't open until 10:00 but I did want to be early enough to unload and unpack Leofwyna's four boxes. I had a VERY slow morning though and Leofwyna relieved me right on schedule at noon. I quickly headed back home and threw the crockpot and my workbasket, feastgear and the brown bag into the car. At this point I hit the fatique WALL really hard. I decided a quick nap was in order and set the alarm and settled in under the quilt with the cat. Joey's purring helped I think and I woke feeling much refreshed.
With the rain all weekend it's a really good thing we rented the good enclosed shelter for our event. The delay meant I unloaded in the rain at the park but I was in good time for the challenge. All I'd missed was the opportunity at Isadora's stashbusting and I certainly have plenty of stash so that's probably a good thing. When we drew for the A&S smack down Isadora got my brown bag. She opted to make a belt pouch of the linen and the embroidery. I was delighted that she used the embroidered bit as it felt like a fair exchange for the wonderful boiled wool that was in the bag I drew (it was Isadora's bag). I'd been wanting a hood for quite a while and I quickly got to work on that. We had two hours to work and knew the projects wouldn't get completely finished but there was judging and audience choice awards at the end. My personal favorite was Mistress Jane's leather bag.
Congrats to Sabi Constance for her Adharc Or, Viljálhmer Hálftroll and Bechte von Ziederholzburg for the Golden Feathers they received and to Mistress Jane Corwin for receiving the Espiritu. All were well deserved. Congrats also to Randwulf for winning the tourney and becoming the newest Herd Master. The A&S smack down was great fun and potluck dinner was fabulous.
