Early Week – Anja had to get ready for her classes at War, plus there was planning for the stuff that was going to the Queen’s Tea.

Amy got to the July 3rd potluck.

Gudrun’s box got packed without the wool, which is …. somewhere … and the llama wool hasn’t arrived, yet, and then it went to the A&S person from Wyewood during AWW.

Cookery – Only July 3rd a lot of cookery happened. Aside from the Queen’s Tea things below, a batch of strawberries preserved in sugar got made. We never got a picture of them until Sunday (7th) so I’ve included a pic from a previous batch.

Ball

Sewing – During Fireworks day (7/3) Amy and Anja sat and worked and talked, an impromptu Sewing Time. Amy was working on her njalbinden and Anja tried to finish a snap-lock pouch and screwed it up 3 times, so went back to work on balls. Those are taking a long time, since they keep getting put away.

Sundials – Loren’s been doing more cleaning of tools. How do they get so grody?

Queen’s Tea Foods – The portions that were going to Queen’s Tea, needed to have ice and go into the ice bag. We sent mushroom, watermelon, mixed vegetable and black bean pickles, brined apples, a batch of marzipan, wheat and pumpernickle mini-loaves and a cheese. A lot of the food came back. Not sure why.

AnTir/West War day

Friday was a tremendous effort, but tremendous fun. I did two classes in blackwork, which had 7 (12) people in the first and 5 (11) people in the 2nd. The parentheses include folks who wandered in and out, but didn’t get kits or pay fees

Cooks’ Playdate

Susanne is a good driver, although she was awfully tired by the end of the day. That was about 7 hours behind the wheel! We watched the spectacularly low tides all the way down.

The weather was lovely, cloudy up here, but getting sunny once we were south of Perpetua. The breeze onsite was lazy, going through and chilling people who weren’t wearing cloaks. We ended the first class a bit early because some of the people were so very cold.

We stopped at DQ on the way home and got a tasty supper and when I got home, I just crashed and slept through until 7am, then after an hour, talking to Loren about the event, slept again until 11.

Going home

Herb Bunch – Anja’s sweetgrass plants finally came on Monday. They were ordered last fall!

We re-potted starts and other plants during the Herbs Workshop, which ended up being in the late afternoon instead of the morning, the way it usually is. One person took home 3 of the plants, but we worked on the various succulents that were started several months ago, plus the hen’n’chicks that a customer brought to Anja, earlier in the week. The sweetgrass went into a large bucket, but most of the plants went into 4 and 6 inch pots.

Intended for a sewing kit

Project Day – We took awhile getting started since Loren was still doing dishes from the Queen’s Tea and Anja was trying to catch up on the morning’s work and dealing with customers. …but we did get started, finally! Anja did a bunch of pictures, first, and picked up the ones that Susanne took of our trip on Friday. After that she sat down with some sewing and Loren picked up another needle. Eventually, Anja got around to organizing some of the projects that have landed all over the place and starting to clean out the space where we usually sit. Iow, projects got worked on, but more organizing than actual work. That’s going to keep on this coming week. We also spent some time outside organizing where the plants are going.
