Can smell the bread baking....

Just waiting the last 5 min before bread is ready, then it is time for poached eggs and salmon. It would be on toast, but apparently the toaster is on the fritz so other plans may need to be made.

Went to Moore Wilson for cider vinegar. Just happened to also pick up smoked salmon (3/4 now in freezer), minced garlic and Richfields 70% mint chocolate...

One of those sunny Autumn/winter days where it is warmer outside in the sunlight than in. Fingers getting cold while typing.

Food time now I think.

(no subject)

Reassembling the warp weighted loom in the lounge after it headed out to May Crown and back.

Time to start looking for a few of the smaller pieces which seem to have gone walkabout. Bits like the wedges for pinning it together and the horizontal bars which hold the bar with the loops for half the warp threads.

Is it bad to use the wooden rolling pin as a hammer to knock it together? - Z had the garage door opener and was out... There aren't too many dents...

PS I didn't make a brick :)

PPS Richfields 70% dark with mint is very very nice if you like dark chocolate and mint.

Oh look, another time period...

Anyone know any good resources? And or good keywords for googling/phrases to avoid...

Cause Z is collecting ordinance of this time period, so we want the right accessories...

ie clothing.

Specifically Company of St George style stuff.

I know that Reconstructing History has women's clothing patterns. And there are the COSG Dragon editions, but they are redrawings (grumble grumble lack of references in articles grumble grumble) and than tends not to have patterns. Haven't started googling/poking pictorial references/reading in depth yet.

There will probably be poking of The Tudor Tailor for their bias cut fitted hose instructions.
Specifically there have been mutterings on livery issue jackets and watchcoats cause the gunnery crew will definitely be needing those.

PS And wrt the previous post, found bits of loom - they had been put in the clothing chest for safe transport. How awfully sensible of me - if I could have just remembered that fact. The winding up with bits of fabric in between warp threads helped amazingly and there was not the hour or more of untangling before use that occurred before the tourney at Crown.
