Morning Light

It's really a morning to just stay in one's pj's all day. It's a little grey out there (and yeah *I'm* still in my pjs).

I'm heading over to CoC later. I have to gather up my jewelry making stuff, cuz Albra is teaching one of her fab classes today.

I went  to a birthday party last night for Morgan and Keradwc (who was visiting from Las Vegas).  It was great fun.  Good food, good conversations, though some of the people I would have really liked to have talked to were out on the patio smoking cigars and I just couldn't breathe out there.  It was pretty vile. (You know who you are :)

I turned in my scroll to Medb!  Yay!  And she showed it around to a few people.  And I won't repeat the comment that two of them made. Heh.  Hopefully it won't come back for any corrections.  (But I would be more worried about a typo in the text then a mistake in the arms which are pretty simple.)  

I made gum water this morning.  (Well last night and this morning).  I soaked some gum arabic crystals and water and sugar and it was all melty this morning.  I strained it out and put it in one of my new jars.  With a label even!  It's a darker color then I thought and it's pretty thick and sticky.  I wonder if I added too much sugar?  I need to find out what to add to it to preserve it.  Oil of cloves?  I've forgotten what Sylvana said in the class.  

Okay.  I'm going to poke around a clean a little bit and maybe do some sewing before heading over to CoC.

 

Home sweet home

Parties are great fun and the CoC class today (Albra taught one of her jewelry classes) was awesome, but it's nice to be home and to just curl up on the couch and relax.
