Tuesday

I have to include the “Tuesday” because the days are all jumbled together in my head. There was very little sleep, and I’m way behind in writing the words to accompany the photos. So, the day label helps. Just bear with me.

Tuesday—the day after the first all-nighter. I was ready for the fitting with Lionel and Crystal, and although yesterday’s posted picture doesn’t really do them justice, their outfits are shaping up very well, and I’m delighted. After my appointment with them, Kyle arrived home rather early, and Jay came over with the wonderful “dice pens” we’d asked him to make for us to offer through East Wind Games. We had a great little visit with him, where we got to hear the stories of him learning to turn wood, and the multi-step process of making these beautiful pens. As we were chatting, at one point, I looked down at his collection of sample pens and decided it would make a fun photo.

I went back to work after he left, jumping right into some of the hand-sewing that needed to be done for Joe and Cindy’s order. Bedtime was a wonderful thing, though.

That I am writing this after the fact cannot be denied. I have fallen woefully behind in my KRuMB postings. This photo of Crystal and Lionel in their ensembles that I am making for their wedding, was taken on Tuesday afternoon. However, in keeping with my longstanding rules of posting, it was still Monday for me, ’cause there was absolutely no sleep as I prepared for this fitting.

I am very pleased with the results of my efforts on this. I can hardly wait to finish the order and look at all their pretties at once.

Whew. I cannot say just how much I appreciate the folks who helped us with the make-ready at faire this weekend! Wow.

Just wow.

Are they late? I could swear that by this time last year, there were bluebonnets.

After spending all day at the faire site, unloading the trailer and setting up the booths, I realized on the way home that my camera had never come out of my purse. Grrrr. So, I spent the entire drive home with the camera in my lap—hoping to shoot the bluebonnets. But, the occasional patches of the beautiful Texas state flower were so few and far between, and so small, that we got all the way home without a photo. Then, a shower was more important than pretty much anything else. And then, there was sewing . . .

So, all that was the really long way of saying I did it again. No photo.
But, trailer day is done. Tomorrow will be another day of set-up and of learning for my two new girls (both of whom are doing fabulously well so far!)

So much to do. So little time. But always time for wine.

The glass is empty.
Cheers.

I cooked up some parmesan-encrusted fish on Monday since we didn’t have a football match.

These are the sauces I loaded on my plate in which to dip the fish. Jalapeño Catsup, HP Brown Sauce, Cholula & Yellow Mustard.
Yum.
Cheers.
