Custom MLPs - I have all the stuff, I just need the mental bandwidth to get started.

Minis - Man, I wish I was still painting minis. I just don't have the hours to sit and do the teensy detail work anymore. Haven't since Emi was born. Maybe when she's a bit older I can teach/draft her.

Yard - I need to spend some quality time with the weeds in my yard. And get a crapton of mulch. And build a flower box for around the mailbox. And refresh the hummingbird feeder.

Sewing - I go in phases of sewing. I don't like cutting, so I usually cut several projects at once and then have many things to just sew. I have a red coat, black/red dress, chemise, and drawers all cut out. I have fabric for a purse and fancy dress for me on the table. When I get those cut, I'll be able to just sew and sew. I want to pattern out a kirtle and skirt for Emi and some faire garb for Ox.

Faire - We're going on the Steampunk weekend. I have almost everything I need. I've ordered a parasol (yay shade!) and need to find sunglasses and hat. Everything else I think I have. I'm pretty sure Downwood has enough stuff. As I mentioned, I want to make some new things for the kids, which will probably be a never-ending project list.

Dance - I ordered some holographic tape. I have to find a dowel. I'm still entranced by the idea of a laser cane from clear PVC and EL wire, but that's for far in the future. I also need to fix up my pink dress (and figure out accessories for it) and check in with Dahlal on where my new bedlah might be. And choreograph a veil solo. So, no pressure or anything.

House - My folks are coming up the first week of July. We're going to rip out the carpet in Emi's room and replace it with new laminate. This should cut down on her allergies by getting rid of the carpet that's seen who knows how many critters. At the same time, I think we're going to put Ox into a big-boy bed. Not sure if we'll have the mattresses for him in time for that or not. I've also been reading too many blogs lately and I bought a trapeeze and rings set to mount in the basement for Emi/Ox to swing on. I also bought a mat to go under it in case of crashes on the concrete. I also need to clean. Lots.

Bento - I love making cute, healthy, tasty food. I also like the validation from posting pictures to Facebook and having people tell me I'm doing a good job with lunch. :)

Blog - Trying to do a better job of keeping up with everything. I'm not a writer, but I've always liked having a journal. I just have no brain for a paper journal at home - Emi and Ox both want to help me write in it, which is less than helpful.

Faire?

Which faire are you going to? I've been looking at the faires in the surrounding states, trying to figure out which are closest and/or are worth the travel time....so far Kansas City is as far as I've gotten (haven't had much time to look).

Oh, and where did you get the trapeze and rings? The best options I've found are IKEA's, but there's not an IKEA close enough for me to get to before fall.

hmmm....there is a semi-decent chance we might be able to make that one! It runs until Labor Day, when are you planning to go? I love RenFaires in general, but it's always better when there's at least a minor chance of running into someone you know.

Thanks for the linkage for the trapeze....not sure when we're going to get that set, but definitely before next winter!
