ailsa_chanWeeekend was lovely as it combined fabric shopping, meeting lots of friends and cremating food on the alter of the barbeque god. (Barbeque god was clearly not pleased with offerings, and we had to appeal to the demon of the grill to get everything cooked, but hey, I got to play with fire, so all is well...)
Saturday morning, met up with Ilpala and Leena and took them on the scenic route to Bristol. (It was only scenic up to a certain point, and then we hit Bristol). Met up with Warren, Judith, Emmma and Dave, who had been raiding the army surplas shop for spare soldiers (or possibly just great coats), and spent time poking fabric in Bristol.
I now have:
3 metres o bright blue suiting;
2 metres of corresponding lining;
1 metre of really cheap black satin (£1.35 /m, yes please :)
1 metre of black stage satin;
3 metres of labrador coloured fur (not quite right, but very cheap)
1 square of pink fur for ears.
We also met up with Alex and Nat and Mike and Amber.
Later of was post shopping barbeque. It was lovely to have so many people around, thankyou everyone who came. Sorry barbeque cooking was quite special. We bitched about work, Marcus had a throne, and everyone ate Leena's yummy cheesecake.
Sunday was Wessex,and we have more people there than we'd had in a long time. We almost ran out of places to put people. Finished Pumpkin Scissors (very good, the ending wasn't really much of an ending, but that's because they are doing a second season, whoo!), and Ushio and Tora, (not really my thing, really). Ghost hunt continues to be very good. I like the monk, he's lovely.
Sunday evening started cosplay, and continued today. I've cut out bits for Marcello and Jessica, and got quite a bit done for Sora. The shirt is largely finished in shape, I need to make the neck a bit bigger, and then do the embroidery, and the jacket is starting to take shape. I have no idea how I will do his gloves.
This week is another 4 day week, as have friday off for the 36 hour. Then, I don't have to go back to work until a week on monday. Bliss!

Shall be at Midlands expo, will probably not be at London.
