Cormac & ‘Tia. They’re not so much out of focus, as they are blurry. You see, it’s dinner time and these two pups just love their dinner. They’re practically vibrating with anticipation.

It had been a very long day, and my camera still didn’t have any batteries in it; so this was taken at the end of the day with my wife’s camera. After many beers, an emotionally fraught evening with my footy manager & wife and an unfamiliar camera, I fear the composition is totally lacking in anything artful.
Cheers.

Ducks & bunnies & eggs and the odd fleur de lis decoration tossed in for good measure hang from the wrought chandelier in the dining room. I was hoping for a better composition than this, but my batteries died immediately after taking this photo, so that’s that. This was supposed to be the test photo with the composition and tweaking to come after, but instead this is the photo I got stuck with.
Easter is done and over, so I’m guessing these stuffed animals will go back into a Rubber Maid tub to be safely stored until next year.
Cheers.

Happy Birthday Mum!

I was totally planning to go to bed early—or at least around midnight tonight.  But, here it is nearly three a.m.  I am working on my last really major order of the Scarborough season.  And it will be done this weekend.  We did a fitting tonight, and all is well . . . the outer doublet is nearly done, now.   Tomorrow I’ll dig into sleeves and under-doublet.  And breeches and codpiece.  Hopefully, I’ll be able to pretty much complete things before Friday.  That way Friday can be devoted to actually getting ready for the weekend.

Emily picked up the final pieces of her wedding ensemble, tonight.    The train came out really well, and she seems pleased with everything.  I am proud of it all, and I look forward to seeing it all come together on Saturday.  Seems I will be helping she and her mom and her maid of honour, Bridget, and her brother all get dressed on Saturday.  That’s right after delivering his order, and helping Doug get dressed, too.  It’s going to be a busy day!

I’m off to bed, now.  Last night I worked until 6:30 a.m. and then napped for a couple of hours.  Not again tonight.  Maybe tomorrow night! <wink>

It’s not very often that we get Brett and Jill to play trivia with us, rather than poker.  And tonight, not only did they play, but Brett won the game!  It was certainly an off-night for us, but he was on top of it!

Perhaps because I was still partially frozen from the day before; perhaps I was busier than the previous day; perhaps I was just forgetful; but this is the only photo I managed to take on 8 April.
It’s a poor excuse for a photo, but it is what I have so I guess I’ll explain. This is Skallywaggs. A wonderfully easy, but deceivingly complex game of pirate adventure. Made by some friends of mine over at Bent Castle Workshops, I highly recommend it. Here you see a three-person game, although it can accomodate 2 – 4 players. Stop by the East Wind Games shop at Scarborough Faire and I’ll teach you how to play.
Cheers.

7 April, 2007

Scarborough Faire opened this morning with a bang (literally) as the cannon announced the beginning of faire season (for East Wind Games). Soon after, the yard in front of my shop was teeming with pirates in all manner of dress and attitude. This crazy bunch of folk have toiled & sweated, and in at least one case, bled for me on the ramp up to this festival. The very least I can do is provide them a place to hang out. This is the crew of the Blazing Sun; a crazy batch of pirates and great friends.
Cheers.
