Which is good because my work schedule has been insane due to the Olympics (I'm editing anything Olympics-related for the duration), plus I'm trying to squeeze in a trip to my beloved annual costume conference, where I'll be teaching a hands-on class, meanwhile our house is being painted & a window's being repaired & these relatively minor disturbances have set off our older cat into a fury of messy protestations.
Oh, & while you'd think this stuff would end after August 12, nope, I'm sewing some (simple) garments for the incoming Queen of the West in the SCA, which she needs mid-August, & helping plan a huge theme party for the end of August. And then it's on to September & October's mayhem of several renfaires for the Venetian courtesan group I've started performing with, so that requires mucho practice & some refinement of my costume (especially the hair). Finally, in early November, I'm running a huge educational conference for the SCA which includes a historical feast with performances. And new costumes for myself & my husband. Whew.
Yeah, no rest for the wicked, that's my motto ;-)
What I'm wearing:
Black knit dress, Target
Black & white striped sweater, Chadwicks
Black with grey skulls scarf, gift from my husband
Black tights, Calvin Klein
Black kitten-heel shoes with tiny buckles, Aldo
Black & white striped dangle earrings, Kohl's
Wow, sounds like life is crazy! Editing anything Olympics? OMG so fun (although I'm sure you don't think so). I'm kind of an Olympics freak. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe skulls on your scarf are so subtle that I almost missed them. What a great gift! I like your updo - very cool for summer. Best of luck with all the craziness at work and at home. As a new homeowner, I can relate. Wow! It's overwhelming at times. All the more reason for kitten heels :)
ReplyDeleteI usually love the Olympics! Just this year, their schedule is making my life crazy (also, editing even more than I used to for the games means spoilers :-).
ReplyDeleteHeh, yes, kitten heels do help!
