Because the world feels better after you've made a list

[mrsbrown]

The stuff I need to do this week;

give notice to the storage place
make 3 hoods of warmth, including an infant one
make a loft bed for MsNotaGoth (so tempted by an Ikea bought option, but so don't have the money)
empty my desk and move it to MsNotaGoth's room
Move the desk from the back verandah to the study
take photos of the Ford, so I can...
Put an ad in one of the online car sales places
book for Festival
tell stewards how much space we need to camp in (very late!!)
Lie on the couch a bit more writing drivel and checking my email and friends page obsessively


The stuff I need to do next week;

move the beds from my house to my mum's new apartment
the stuff I didn't do last week
make something for LardFest (optional)
Start design for cupboard in study to store stuff from the storage unit
Transfer ownership of our new car
clean up my bedroom
bottle mead
start beer brew

Stuff I need to write down so it's out of my head and I can stop obsessing about it;

I need new clothes, mainly tshirts, tops for work, shorts for riding to work in, maybe a skirt or two.
I need to remake sleeves for my 15thC cotehardies
I need better headdress arrangements
I think we need to start thinking about new coronets, I lost another pearl on the weekend and being stood on wasn't good for it either.  It would be good to have them for the 20th baronial birthday, but we need to get started on designing them.  BTW I should sort out a steward for that event, or at least a venue.
I need to consult with montjoye about sewing rabbit fur onto the houppelande/coat I have planned for Festival
One of these days I'll make the time to draw up the house plans I think I'm almost happy to go ahead with, but not before Festival and not in the three months after Festival 'cos I always collapse in a heap then and then the weathers miserable, and then it's my 40th birthday and then it will be the silly season and then it will be the three months before Festival when I get heaps done, but not stuff I don't need for Festival...
I'd like Rose to have her own bed for Festival, one that can be pushed under our bed during the day

I think that's all of the thoughts that have been swirling in my head lately.  I think I can do at least 3 of the things on my first list this evening, so I'l start!

The Other Bess had a loft bed to sell a while ago - I don't know if she sold it or not, but it might be worth asking.

But doesn't she live in a different state?

[quatrefoil.livejournal.com]

Yep, but I figured that Festival might provide an opportunity for moving it.

Do you want warm hoods of warmth or Summer ones? Saturday sewing can put some time into these if it would help.

warm ones - they're more useful. And yes, I was probably going to bring hood stuff to Sat sewing.

Hey, I don't have your email with me right at this moment, so I am hoping this comment makes it into your mailbox. I might SMS when I get back to the room to let you know this message is here.

The fabric. Expensive. Very expensive. About $25 - $30 NZ/m for linen, then take about 30% off it. Some thinner, coloured linens for about $16NZ/m, same discount would apply.

I have used my leftover luggage limit with some blue and reddish coloured linen which contained flaws, so I got it for about $10NZ/m.

Wool. Ava could not find anything she really liked - they have pure red, pure navy, but the other stuff has lycra and other rubbish in it. Not a great colour selection. I might go back for some red wool; not sure yet.

So, in all, I was disappointed. Ava did not end up buying anything and I just got a bit because the colours were nice.

In particular the pricing was a bit prohibitive, I thought. The range was probably okay; maybe Ava would have another view.

This notwithstanding, the lady knew we were SCA and offered to mail it home for us in the bulk lot - which I declined, because I knew I could use what I had left of my luggage limit. I am sure if you still wanted some, you could get someone there to batch some up and get it sent.

The linen I want is at Rod Hair Textiles 115 Lichfield St, not at Kuttwells. You'll know you're at the right shop 'cos it doesn't look like the sort of place you can buy stuff and you have to buy in 10m lengths

Did you go to the other shops mentioned in the file I sent you - http://sg.sca.org.nz/docs/FabricShopping.doc ?
