things I want to do

[aryanhwy]

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...

That is a lot of sewing, even for people who like it. But I suspect that your deadline isn't this month, and perhaps not even this year.

Is that heraldic surcote in addition to the tabard we have been talking about doing?

Yeah, this is not a todo list, and there is no deadline. Things are allowed to go on and off it as I please. But it's always good to have outlined all the things I'm considering, with links, for ease of future reference.

The heraldic surcote is different from the tabard, it won't have the kingdom arms on it, just the populace badges.
