Check list, 1, 2, 3....

Ok, so the houpeland is nearly done. All that is left is a hook for the neck and to whip-stitch the faux lining hem so it doesn't open to the ground. I figure I can do both of those things AT Estrella, which opens up time for other things now. (Oh, and the houpeland is obscenely HUGE. My arms literally touch the ground when stretched straight out at my sides...). While it IS essentially completed, I'm not entirely happy with it. But, it WILL be going with me to Estrella to keep me warm :)

I also finished my matching cowl, but again am not as pleased with it as I should be. It is fixable, but I really should learn to not sew in a rush. :(

Now it is off to Costco for the traditional buying of the Redbulls which precedes every war... good times!

Hopefully the hearse will be ready soon. It is having the transmission resealed and they said I should have it back by this afternoon. I feel confident though, since the guy I talked to had a very clear understanding that I will be driving through the desert tonight. I just wished I had it back now!

Yes, today is indeed as stressful as I had imagined it.

For those making it out to Estrella War this week...

You are ALL invited to the 11th Annual, East Coast, 3 Drunken Celts Whiskey tasting to be held Thursday night. Mark your calendars!

This year the tasting will be hosted by the Keg's End encampment, though the 3DC will be camped right next door for convenience, and easy access to the liquor.

Keg's End has graciously aligned with the 3DC to dually combat functioning liver disease. Stop by and chip in for the cause! Swig a dram of 'uisge beatha' and do your part to stop liver functions! With your help, we can beat the disease! Or pass out trying...
