I have to wait 16 days because DH is making me go to a stupid family reunion on the 16th!!!  >:(
And I lied when I said I wasn't going to start any new sewing projects until after the season was over. I started a new project last night!  ;D

Hey... Guess what. I'm back. I won't be attending this year as much as years past, but we do plan on making at least one trip, if not a couple more.

And, here's my obligatory countdown timer:

I know how you feel, Margaret.  I still have 9 items on my sewing to-do list.
*hops off the internet and rushes back to the sewing*   :D

In my case...

49 days until I get there, then tag on 17 hours until Opening Gate.

Then, likely within 15-20 minutes, a sparkly explosion ends the Korobushka. ;)

*looks forward to casting a shadow over the Calf-seeking Nliedel* ;)

Chances are, all you'll see of me is the calves, until you stand up, then you'll see the stomach. :)  To see the rest requires a bench, or a gesture from Her Majesty. :)

Okay, all eyelets sewn into garb for tomorrow's Media day. I just have hours and hours of blackwork left on one sleeve. HELP!!

A week from today, breathe, breathe, do not lose voice, remember Italian, breathe, breathe.

I need a hand to hold.

I won't be able to attend until the 7th of September. :(  I have the birth of my baby daughter to come first by c-section on the 25th of August, then time to rest, then I can get excited without over doing it for the 7th. :) Hope you all have a fabulous time tomorrow and that everything goes smoothly as possible.

Hubby and I, and 2 friends, went yesterday and had an absolutely wonderful time.  We'd love to go every available day, but alas, hubby has to work.  Barring any unforeseen ciscumstances, we will be back on Aug 31st.   :)

ended up being 6 of my friends and i there yesterday.. it was lots of fun.. though waiting an extra hour till 2 of them showed up was alittle annoying (11am became 12pm).. and they were the closest.. lol.. but we had a blast.. lost 4 of them within 15 minutes though. 2 at one show and 2 at another and did not see them again untill about 6pm.   wont be able to be back for a couple of weeks.. but oh well i can wait..  spent to much anyways.. lol need to rebuild my horde..

forgot.. i did take pics.. mostly of the 1pm joust (battery pack died for some reason soon after) so i will eventually have them on my myspace or my actual website (pending me actually finishing it).
