and the Houston Rodeo (Lawrence goes to the cook-off looking like a ringer for Doc Holliday from "Tombstone").



Now that I would pay money to see!  :D



You don't have to pay!  Here we are at my boat club's wild west theme Poker Run:

Posting and reading the posts here, reading books, renn themed music and movies, planning what I am going to wear to the festivals in the upcoming year..

All good suggestions.  Fortunately, I now have a website I can work on too.  If anyone wants to visit, see my Renfaire pix, interviews & links at www.meistersrealm.com

Have a Merry Christmas & fast winter!

Now that Steve & I have "corrupted" other friends from Galena into becoming addicted to faire, we've had a couple of dinners at each others' homes.  We wear garb, eat semi-faire food (last time was bangers & mash) & listen to our faire CDs.

We take out the photo albums from the past faires & look through them & laugh & have fun remembering the great times we had.

My winter diversion has been sewing.

In the past couple of weeks I've made a fleece Inverness cape for my wife, a fleece hat for me, and the first part of a new Scottish ensemble, a shirt. (Figured I'd start with the easy one.) OK, that's almost done. I still need to add buttons and buttonholes on the cuffs.

Next up is a kilt, a great plaid and two Highlander vests to go with the outfit, one warm and one fancy.

I'm tagging along to my first con ever (anime themed) just for an excuse to wear my new garb before next season :P I was kind of down because I'd have to wait almost a year to go to my next faire until I found out there's one near me in April! Very excited for that :)

I use this time to build up my garb as well, though then I want to wear it but can't for months, hah!

Right now its sewing since a lot of the last 2 weeks was random days of ice and snow that trapped us in the house. I made a double and slops for his lordship and for myself I reworked a dress. I still have some details to finish with the skirt.
