Art Wars at Harvest Home

Dropping in once more to let the blogosphere know I'm still alive and well.  Mundane life has been especially interesting and distracting of late (not "baby" interesting, though).  My crafting focus for the next couple of weeks is an alpaca sweater for the Ravellenic Games.  Still working on preparing the Big Box-o-Linen for laundry torture.

During the impromptu re-shuffling of mundane life, I had to cancel my plans to attend the Academy of Performing Arts this past weekend.  It seems to have been a great success, based on the stories I've heard and pictures I've seen posted via social media, and congratulations are in order for Gleann Abhann's newest Laurel, Mistress Martha Effingham.

Preparations are underway for Kingdom A&S in September, and Art Wars in October.  Yesterday I was invited to join Team Viking Tunic for Art Wars.  Other team members are tackling the documentation, pattern drafting and ornamentation for the project - my job will be to show up the morning of the event, well rested, and hand-sew like the freakin' wind.  Onlookers are encouraged to ask questions during the competition, so I may be able to convince people that HAND SEWING IS NOT HARD.

It's not hard.  I promise.
