My faithful little red rattletrap bit the dust last wedsday on my way to work. I ended up stranded on 33 for about 1/2 an hour. This entailed the frantic towing to a mechanic for a final diagnosis, and car shopping on Saturday. I have a new car right now (finacing should be completed by tomorrow). It's tan, and fully loaded 2002 corolla, posh! ;) I have high hopes of it lasting just as long as Tink did. Naming will come later, I need to have the care a bit before that will come.
did I mention I'm in finals week at school? Been just a little insane, and I am trying to finish a costume for Saturday in between homework....
The costume is going well. In the great tradition of costumers everywhere I started a fab costume long before the event, and abandoned it as having to much to do and being to hot about a week ago. So I'm modifying my Koren doublet sans sleeves, adding a black kirtle, green shirt (I know it's not period but I'm designing this so I can loose the kirtle and hoops to take a shift at fight our knight and don't want to be bothered with a full chemis) and hats which is the whole point of the outfit!
Right now the double is done, the bodice is made, the hoops are mostly there (bending issues to solve) and the shirt and hats need cut and assembled. And all this plus my homeworks needs to be done by Saturday...
:) Stress anyone?
Oh well, faire will be fun and as long as my homework is done the night before I can probably get the whole outfit sewn in a night, as long as I don't sleep.
