Rain, we have RAIN! Okay, so the temperature dropped the rest of the day. Surprisingly, the incoming pressure front did not give me a migraine. I am very pleasantly surprised, and pleased. On the other hand, I don't know whether to blame the weather, my dash down the hill to catch the bus yesterday, or just my own ill-health for the way my knees have been aching for the past day. Last night was agony. Today, it only hurts.

book: I read a little bit of Almost a Princess but didn't have time or hands for much reading (balancing a jacket, an umbrella & the book made it difficult while waiting for the bus).

tatting: I finally got the shuttles loaded but I had to pack last night & didn't get any tatting done. I got a little bit done tonight. I am about halfway through one snowflake from Sunderman's book.

gaming: My registration for Regulatorcon still isn't showing up. *sigh*

The rain cleared by lunch but it had gotten cold & windy. So when Julie came to meet me for lunch, we stayed in the building.

clothes: black tank top (covered when I buttoned shirt), black Origins shirt, black slacks, black belt, same watch, same hematite band, hair in a ponytail/bun with black/brown hairsticks, Celtic knot earrings & ring, flower band, triskele in triangle pendant, & black half-boots.

Food! Oh, yum. Chris had the greatest idea for supper. Brown some meat (doesn't really matter what kind, as long as it's ground). Cook some peas and some mashed potatoes. Pile some of the meat in the bottom of a bowl, add peas, add a little cheese, and top with mashed potatoes. There are some spices involved, too. It's a simple version of shepherd's pie, one of my favorite dishes.

Gaming: My registration for Regulatorcon hasn't gone through yet. Until it does, I can't register for games. Apparently, I'm not alone in that. That's some comfort.

Tomorrow night is Mutants & Masterminds. I'll have to see how I'm getting there.

Pictures! I have pictures. This one is the top of the pendant for my Fair Entry That Almost Was.
You can see the tatted ring very clearly. There are actually 2 rings on this bauble, but of course you can only see one clearly at a time.







This is the 2nd necklace. You can just barely see the blue/gold flash on the black beads. I have more drop beads than round ones. That limited just how long the necklace could be. This is a fairly close up shot of the main component of the necklace.






This is more of an overview of the necklace. The area where I changed over from small rings to large rings to beads is more visible in this shot.





Last, but not least, the site of the pendant. I made the chain a little longer than the chains with the drop beads.
