Activities through 9-24-17

Our group had another quiet week. Sadb is still recovering with her ankle from the car accident, and Anja’s still recovering from her tumble at Shrewsbury. Everyone on the coast is still on summer schedules so there haven’t been very many folks at the meetings, still, but summer is passing quickly.

“Honey? I finally found something period to keep the sun off my head!”

All meetings this week at the usual times, but from October 12-15 there will be no meetings held at Ancient Light, so the report for 10/15 will be put off until 10/22.

Sewing Night – At Ancient Light, Thursdays, 6-8pm
Herb Bunch – At Ancient Light, Saturdays, 11am-1pm
Sewing Time – At Ancient Light, Saturdays, 3-5pm

Early Week

Of course, this started with cleaning up and putting away the feast dishes. Anja finally has pincushion filling, so that was one of the next things after last weeks report was up. The place smells lovely after we grind cedar. …well, it’s not real cedar, like “cedar of lebanon”. See below the music links.

Sewing Time – Thursday – Anja and Loren started earlier in the day than usual. He had another piece of bone, she was filling pincushions. Of course, he got silly…. 🙂 Amy showed up right at the last minute as Loren and Anja were packing up to head home. School has heated up again.

Sewing Time – Saturday

We found a link of embroidery stitches,. some of which are period, some not, but lots of fun! https://www.needlenthread.com/2012/05/stitch-play-index.html

…and pretty much everything else was sorting project things. It’s gotten to be a mess over the summer. …oh, and more sanding on the cutting board. …and eventually a little sewing when Amy showed up around 5:30pm.

Herb Bunch – We spent the time bagging up the summer’s herb harvest, now that most of it is dried, and talking over bringing plants indoors. This links to an article on that topic.

Project Day – We were still sorting out some projects during the early part of the day and tried some more of the pickled cabbage, which still isn’t too strong, and is nice and crunchy.

We had a mother and son come in and stayed for awhile, talking. They’ve done Civil and Revolutionary War re-enactment and might come join us when their circumstances improve.

Anja had been sewing on more pincushions and Loren working on a needle. Amy showed up for awhile, then left before Anja woke up and the needle Loren was working on snapped, which means we really didn’t get anything accomplished, until right at the end of the day Loren started cutting down some of the pieces of rosemary wood for Anja, since she wants some of that for spoons.
