Getting ready for a busy weekend

[mapsedge]

At KCRF, the front gate ceremony is going on, cannon is ten minutes away, and I'm snug in my "office" with a cup of coffee, a big (for me) breakfast under my belt, and a long day of sewing ahead. Frankly, I'm not sure where I'd rather be. It's a toss-up.

Two days ago I was caught up on tights orders. Today, I'm starting to fall behind. There's a lot of sewing that came my way over the summer, and if I'd had to freedom to work on it, I wouldn't have fallen behind. With Michelle's health, though, I end up out of the shop more than I'm in it, and the habit of not refusing work is hard to break. I take a great deal of satisfaction in, say, the yeoman guard uniforms, and now I've got some feeling of ownership, a feeling of proprietary jealousy and the idea of someone else making them is unthinkable. I flatter myself to think that whoever comes after me is going to have a lot to live up to, and will spend his/her days cursing my name.

In any case, just generally, I'm about four weeks behind. It's not insurmountable.

You SHOULD be proud of the Yeomen Guard uniforms, as you have done some really good work on them. The Yeomen have an influx of new recruits that will be needing more by next season, too. (I'm certain that some of the noobs will hold off on purchasing their own uniforms, but some guys are showing a lot of promise already.) The Captain retdet and I are discussing some possibilities for an archer detachment. One of the things mentioned was the idea of alternate sleeves for those archers. I'm sure that he and I will talk about it further, but it's just something to give you a "head's up" for next year.
