Sorted

Well, it all worked out okay today. The belts for both of us were too big, which we only discovered as we got out of the car to go into the festival. However, they were still functional.

Fortunately, though, we didn’t have to hassle the whole day with slightly-too-large belts (that also happen to be carrying several things for us). After we spent a lovely time at a knife and sword shoppe (and my mom graciously bought us all our own hand knife), we went to a nearby shoppe they’d mentioned likely could help us. Sure enough, the girl there was quite happy to punch some extra holes in each of our belts, and we were quite happy to be in belts that now fit us properly.

So, it all worked out with the outfits, and we got doke awesome handmade knives.

Thank you, God, for this blessing of a day with my family. In your name, I pray. Amen.

Oops

Well, we’re going to RenFest tomorrow, first thing. We wear awesome outfits that I made. They could use some minor yet valuable adjustments. Yet, somehow, every year, I forget to make the adjustments until the last minute… this year’s being no different, I didn’t even pull them out until tonight…

So, I’ll be fiddling with my man’s cloak in the car on the way up in the morning, and hoping I’m doing the best thing for it. However, so far as our new drinking horns are concerned, I came across them by accident the other day, about a week ago, I guess… I remembered that we needed to seal them for safe drinking. So, I hauled them out, washed them, looked up what I was supposed to be using and doing to make them ‘safe’ for use, and then went this past Sunday to get the stuff. I did the sealant and let them cure for more than double the recommended time (kind of forgot about them), and now they’re ready! Of course, because I kind of forgot about them, 1)they each have a couple droplets that are, basically, permanently on an outside edge of the horn, and 2)I genuinely almost forgot even to go get them as I packed up our stuff tonight. It was only because I went through the whole bag and came across the carriers that I even remembered we had them… as though I hadn’t just prepared them for use a handful of days ago…

Like I said, I kind of forgot about them… 😛

Anyway, I hope tomorrow goes well!

Dear God, keep us safe and well, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
