Projects ran toward costuming today rather than writing or music, though as I had an unusual Saturday off, I managed to squeeze in some more exploration of Music Maker. I do note that there are more recent iterations of this program, but I got the 2013 version for $15.99 and it has more features than I know what to do with, so I'm not in any hurry to expand to the $99.99 version yet.
My social life seems to be running very much along Tolkien lines this last year and it isn't over yet--another Unexpected Middle Earth Party is set to occur at the end of the month. The unexpected part is that I had no idea that this would be a theme party until a few days ago. I guess that the unexpectedness of the party has worn off by now, so I'm more planning for an Expected MEP.
As a result, today I put Christmas away, including the wrapping paper (I finally got everything wrapped and mailed--I've always thought Christmas should be more of a season than just a single day), enjoyed a brief couple of hours with a clean useable dining room table, and then completely covered it with sewing stuff. It took me about two hours of research and reminding myself that I do more or less actually have a clue what I'm doing before I had the confidence to start tearing into the fabric. I'm a measure 15 or 20 times, cut once kind of person. And even then it is still possible to mess up.
So far so good, though. I will sew tomorrow and then the quality of my calculations will become apparent.
