Still alive. And still making progress on various projects. Making lucet cording but that is slow going because the thread cuts into my fingers after awhile. First time it did it I thought I had gotten a paper cut that I had forgotten about and the thread had found its way into it. Very ouchie. So I let it heal up before I started again and that night I gained two nice sized bleeding "papercuts". Finally put two an two together... Dang lucet corder.... So I have to do it in smaller spurts.
I started on two new projects in the mean time. I was growing weary of quilts, and needed a small break. But my family had still all drank the same water last year.... I picked up a Burpie and Bib kit at Jo-Anns, hoping it would be different enough to keep me going and not hating it. I of course couldn't just follow the instructions word for word though. *smirk* So I have been putting my own touches on it here and there. I added left over batting to a few pieces. Hand quilted around one of the animals on one of the burpies. And Appliqued "A' "B" and "C" on one of the bibs. I plan to add binding to another of the burpies... not sure about the other bib yet.
My Other adventure has been to take off all the old lacing rings to my generic Ren gear and put on new ones. When I wore it last time, (for the first time), there was a strange lifting and gapage going on. I think it was because of poor placement of to small rings. Hopefully I am right in my theory. After I get those back on and if the problem is fixed I can finally add the lacing rings for the sleeves. I want to get it done by the AZ Ren faire. Should be doable but I do seem to miss dead lines.
