Not an particularly inspiring week…. Spring Break is starting which means that Loren and Anja get swamped, plus Anja seems to be coming down with something. Doesn’t help….
Gogor might be coming out for a visit in May. Amor is back to his usual trials and tribulations with airplanes. Sasha’s work schedule has gone off the deep end, and Gudrun got the job!

Early Week – We started with clean-up of course, finished up Monday evening, by getting the crocks onto the new shelf and then we found some more feast stuff, washed it and got it put up. …and then another batch of crocks and baking things, purchased last summer, finally got pulled out and washed.
Sewing – Anja was busy this week with a mundane project that’s blackwork, so it’s being included…. She was also doing tissue covers and finishing that kiss-lock pouch.
Sundials – Most of the progress this week was drilling holes in things….. and setting up to drill holes in things.
Herb Bunch – On Monday the re-usable filters finally showed up. We’ll have them ready for the next time we need to strain something.
Saturday’s workshop was more of the same, processing dried herbs for use.
Project Day – Started with putting away some of the cleaned feast things. Pieces are showing up as we finished off leftovers. Most of the pickle jars are cleaned and put by until needed.
Anja consulted with two people about food for vigils at Egil’s. She offered to help for Turk’s and Vesta’s vigils, but has to plan ahead to get the food there. If she makes it to the event at all it’ll be for the elevations.
Sewing was next for her and Loren had to take off to go help out someone who is car-less because of a house-fire. She worked on tissue cover and kiss-lock pouch, after photos.
Once Loren was back he did a little on the things that need to be drilled. Peach pits still need to be done and copper tubes filed smooth.

Music – A whole set of dances, done by SCAdians, it looks like, some at events.
