darchildreAnd then I guess I didn't post for a week again. So here are some things:
- I swear I haven't forgotten about the next saga post. It has just been simply too hot to sit with a computer on my lap for the time it takes to do a weekly recording. However! The temperature seems to be going down so if there's anyone out there who is waiting in suspense to find out what's going to happen to Gunnar and Hallgerd and Njal, you will find out soon.
- Tonight is the first meeting of the meetup group I started. We are meeting in a coffee shop and 5 people have RSVPed. I am nervous about it and will probably become more so as the day goes on, but I think it will be okay. Wish me luck!
- To distract myself from nervousness, I am embarking on a craft project. A religious craft project. See, the thing is, it is difficult to find altar statuary that I like. Especially once you go beyond wanted statues of Odin, Thor, Freyr, or Freyja. You want a statue of Nerthus, say (because I do), and your choices are either to repurpose some other kind of statue (which is a completely workable choice) or to make something yourself. Not really finding anything I liked for the purpose, I am making my own. And by "making my own" I mean that I bought some of those abstract wooden doll parts from a craft store and am painting them. I like fairly abstract religious statuary, really, and any statue of Nerthus is going to spend the majority of its time under a veil in any case. So I'm happy with it.
- Tomorrow, my sisters are coming over and we are going to the Lavender Festival in Sequim. Should be fun.
And those are the things of right now.
