SNB on 3/27

[i_am_the_whimsy]

This is still on right? I initially had it in my calendar for 3/20 at Kae's house, but it would appear that I was flat wrong, b/c they were out of town. Could the hostess please post specifics one more time for a befuddled blonde?

Thank you!

I hope it's this weekend! I'm planning the entire weekend around being there!! MUST FINISH THE CHILD'S FAIRY COSTUME (doesn't help that I haven't started it...)

Kae - PM me about what I need to bring for that as you are the self-appointed fairy-costume-maven.

Snack-ies?? Salty or sweet? what should I bring...

[Nevada]

What pattern are you looking for?
I've got two of hers and would be happy to bring it along if you need it.

[Nevada]

The elizabethan smock with the square neck line....it also has the partlett and the other neckline as well...

[Rhia]

I've got the underpinnings package... I'll make sure to bring all the pieces and instructions tomorrow.

[Gremco]

It looks like I'm going to be there. I don't have a job as of this momment, and I'm only getting a few poor leads. I doubt I'll get a call sayingI'm hired and I have to work tomarrow.

[Rhia]

I'm thrilled and feel really bad all at the same time....

:hmm:

It's great that you'll make it, but I sympathize with the job thing... seems like half the people I know are looking for work!

Maybe we can mobilize tomorrow and come up with some leads for you!

[Nevada]

Dang Grimmy..what happened to the bakery job? Have you tried a movie theater I know that some are starting to gear up for heavy summer usage.

[Gremco]

There was a HUGE misunderstanding with the bakery job. It was a just weekend job that I was not aware of, plus a few days I came in soley to clean up after everyone else. And one week I was told to expect a call Monday so they could tell me the schedule, I got a call Friday, asking why I hadn't come to work. In the mean time, a store I had applied to called for an interview, I went They scheduled another interview for the next week. So I quit the bakery. I called the next Monday to confirm my interview, "Oh well we went ahead and hired someone else. " GRRRRRRR!!!!! I did have an interview at the local theatre, but they interviewed 6-9 people for 3 jobs. If I got it, I will get a call either today or tomorrow. But I don't think they will ask me to come in tomorrow. At least I hope not.

Rant Done

[i_am_the_whimsy]

So sorry to hear it, Gremmy :( I'm looking forward to meeting you, though. It's bittersweet, I suppose. See everyone tomorrow!

[Kae]

I just wanted to let everyone know that I had a wonderful time this weekend and I accomplished several things. I met several new people this weekend. All were very kind. I made, with help from Mirabel, 6 duct tape bodice patterns. I made 2 pairs of wrap pants and one regular pair of faire pants. My house is still clean and thanks to Captain, my deck is clean as well. (Love those power washers.) I also ironed a whole lot of material and found out that Isabelle makes a wonderful crab appetizer. Yummy! Countess, I can't wait to see your final product and if you are missing a rose ribbon, I believe I have it. Neelloca's Mom was very sweet and put up with us quite well. I believe we amused her greatly. :P Erin, I have never seen anyone be able to hold a tumbler and a beer mug quite the way you do. (I am glad I have pictures!) Rhia, I hope that Tori didn't kill you and that you had enough of the faery costume done to soothe her. :wink:

Over all , I just wanted to thank everyone for making Saturday and Sunday such an enjoyable time.

Kae

[Rhia]

This weekend was a great time! Thanks so much for everyone who helped make it sew, I mean so *g*

I don't think I've ever seen an SnB where so much sewing actually took place! Tori was fairly distracted by her entertainment for the weekend so I've earned a reprieve for now... Thanks to Mirabel for helping me with the fairy - that tissue stuff just sucks the braincells right out - I'll stick with newsprint, thank you very much!

We had a great turn out and I hope everyone had as much fun as I did!

Less than 2 weeks till Scarby!

[Nevada]

Rhia thanks for the loan of the patterns! My apologies to everyone for arriving late...but really needed to get the rest of my furniture to the house...I had a great time as did Shadow and we both loved meeting new people including Colleens sweet mom....

[i_am_the_whimsy]

I had SUCH a blast on Saturday. Isa, thank you thank you thank you for letting me commandeer your knitting needles! :oops: If anyone hasn't tried knitting and is considering it, I highly recommend giving it a try. It's muy mucho relaxing. Probably more so than those ef-fin hexagons. Although, with Melanie's help, I have several hexes put together now, where I didn't before.

What fun! And so much food! I think I'm STILL full.

It was a pleasure meeting you (again) Gremco.

I hope everyone has a great week.
Scarby countdown! :D

[Nevada]

BTW who made the chicken divan? it was great!

[Rhia]

I'm fairly certain that was Enarra...

I think it was a conspiracy, there were snacks when I got there and I was ravenous so I got a burger - then people started bring yummies like the casserole and fried chicken! :cry:

[Isabelle Fawkes]

I must admit there was more going on at this S-n-B than I ever expected. I just want to thank everyone who allowed me to steal ideas and hints on making my own garb. I now have no excuse not to have a fabric bin or a garb closet in my house :lol:

Thank you Kae for hosting another fabulous get together and thanks to Brenda for showing us how easy it is to knit and a special thanks to Dr. Mary for helping me with those darn sleeves.

See you all at faire,
Isabelle
