Spontaneous biking and sewing
Apr. 8th, 2008 07:49 amI spontaneously loaded my bike and gear into my car today. Since I was up extra early and my bike hadn't been put away from Saturday's ride, I got the impulse and just did it. Now I get to follow through on one of my day dreams, which is to take a lunch-time bike ride.
I'm so excited! Where shall I go? The trail by the Bay? The top of Tunnel Road? Up to University to toodle around that area? I feel like a kid in the candy shop.
AND... I have nothing correct to wear to the PPF.* But since I don't have any plans this weekend or next weekend (except to work), if I'm extra careful about time-management and stay focused, I may be able to alter a gamurra and whip out an overdress. That's not a plan, though. I'll just start it and see how it goes.
*Editted:
I should clarify that the event does not have a dress code. I assume that there is the standard expectation that you make an effort to dress in a period and place appropriate to the SCA, which is the same expectation we have for all events. And that is as broad and deep as it sounds. For me personally, I LOVE this period. I have researched the clothing extensively, taught classes and I have several outfits. However, none of them fit due to extreme weight loss. It is my personal desire to experience this event dressed in the appropriate clothing in order to make the experience more real for me. And that has everything to do with how I enjoy participating in the SCA and nothing to do with what the autocrats and feast volunteers have asked of their guests.
