Still working on class materials (which means converting some of my web articles to PDFs to use as handouts), and realized last night that I need to get a shorter table for my table loom as I cannot comfortably throw the shuttle with it on such a tall table. After that I will fashion tensioning devices for both the table loom and my countermarche loom and start winding new warps for both. The table loom will be set up with some red wool to weave material for Hedeby purses and the countermarche will get the very, very fine dark blue wool for both a tunic for my boyfriend and an aprondress for myself. It could take me a year to weave the amount of yardage that I need, but I think it will be worth it in the end.
Beyond that, it is new garb that I am planning so that I can retire some of my overwrought pieces to become Pennsic night or rainy day garb. Despite that I do not much enjoy sewing, I am very looking foward to the wardrobe upgrade. I need to figure out how much time I reasonably have to do this (as I do not want to take time away from research and working on the new class) so that I can prioritize the pieces I need to make.
This weekend, I did take the weekend off. I slept. A lot. It was pretty amazing. We had our vet appt Friday and got the AMAZING news that the mass in my kitty's head is half the size it was in September. The relief was so profound that I think I just, finally, was able to catch up on some of the sleep that I have missed over the last year. Yay!
