things I want to do

A list:

• Finish up the notecards I owe nz_bookwyrm. I have four of the five designs chosen, and most of them sketched out, so they really shouldn't take much more time. They are also sadly overdue.


• A few blank scrolls for the Gulf Wars gift basket, one using either this O or this O.


• Make a woollen panel hat, lined in linen, and decorated with the thick orange yarn I won in a Raglan raffle years ago. If we get back to Iowa in the summer and visit Joel's aunt and uncle, as a bonus maybe I can pick up some mink furs and make a fur lined or trimmed one. Maybe make one for the Gulf Wars gift basket, too.


• Make more wire jewelry. I'd love to investigate necklaces and bracelets.


• Finish my pewter mold and cast into it -- preferably before ID coronet.


• Make a parti-colored plaid cote-hardie the ones here; a color image of the woman's dress can be found here.


• Make a dress like the blue or pink one in the first row here -- complete with the pretty gold bandings.


• Make a heraldic surcoat (see also here), in Drachenwald colors.


• Make a belt like this one or this one.


• Except that I'm not Italian, make a slitted overdress like this one.


• Dress up like Dialectica. And maybe find an Aristotle to dispute with?


• Make an outer layer like the one here (I can't tell for sure from the image if the white is a separate layer from the red, but it looks like it. And it would be more versatile if it were).


• Make a dress like this (though Joel wants me to make one like this, since he says I have the figure to pull it off).


• Make a wooden box in the manner of master Svartulvur, always remembering while doing so the useful concept of "Laurel minutes".


• Make an embroidered copelet.


• Make a 14th-C-esque veil/head-covering. 12-Jan-14.


• Convert a photo of my cousin into a painting.

That's an awfully lot of sewing for someone who detests sewing as much as I do...
