Yep.  And here I am at work at 11:00pm at night.  I have this week off
but I've popped in to finish something off.

Your garb sounds amazing my dear...

Woo Hoo...  My garb is close to done.  A very wonderful women has
stepped in at the last minute to help (I would not have remotely managed
on my own).  The shirt is done, the doublet only needs to have 20
buttons and 20 rings (lacing points) to go.

Tomorrow, the pants get done and we're all finished on that front.

Cool.  I'm touched.

O dear.

Kiriel's hoping to bring her camera.  Someone else will have to take
pictures as she'll be court herald.

See above.  Everything is going fine and ahead of schedule.  Apprentice
belts are fully done and awaiting devices from my father (a figurine
painter par excellance)

Hands are fully pink again apart from some very faint traces of green on
my nails...

I know that feeling.  I've been hand sewing all day...

Drake.

Ps.  The thing I am struggling with the most is the irrational thoughts
of "why am I doing this" and 'am I good enough"...
