Another day winds to a close. This morning I saw Ken off, and then crawled back into the cold bed to sleep for awhile longer, which left me with fragmented dreams about broken wheels. I was a little sad and didn?t want to get up and face the day, but I did, knowing I had lots to do that I could distract myself with. And much did I accomplish.

I finished the section of the Sage journal that I had, and just now saw that the next bit has been uploaded for me, so I?ve got more to do tomorrow. I don?t think it?ll be a problem finishing it all by the deadline. I?m being good about taking frequent breaks so my shoulders don?t get tweaked.

I dyed some linen of an odd olive drab green, and it came out a lovely forest green. There?s enough to do a cotehardie, for which I have some trim that I think I?ll bead first (I know, like I need another project. But it?ll be so pretty!) and for a tunic upon which I want to embroider spirals, probably in gold. I?d love to have it for Black Oak Lodge, but I won?t work on sewing it until I?ve finished the banner (although I?ll be doing handwork on the banner _at_ Black Oak). I may make the tunic to wear, and do the embroidery later. We?ll see. I still have a goodly number of projects that have more pressing deadlines.

This evening during sewing night I worked on the banner, and it?s going very well. It?s cut out and mostly fused together. I still need to find the right cord for edging, and to bead the goutty, but I feel like I?ve really moved ahead on it, which is good. I?ve even started the documentation.

Oh! and the wonderful Gerhardt, who taught the mask-making workshops here and at GWW that resulted in our making our masks, went out of his way to drop off books here today so I can write the documentation for Ken?s mask for Pentathlon. Gerhardt deserves a medal for that!

So now it?s late, and I?m tired, and there?s much to do tomorrow, so I?ll end this now.
