you can tell I'm bored from the number of posts recently...

Or more accurately, the book I want to read (Pride & Prejudice) isn't in the house, and I refuse to go get it from my storage unit before I have a load of stuff to take *away* because the natural tendancy of stuff is to move out of storage into my room, thus contributing to the problem of not having enough space to put things away in. And I'm still sufficiently sick that I'm not really up to doing anything constructive like working on my website, but I've worked off the "useful depression" mode in which I was actually sorting stuff and puting it away. Oh, and I slept badly last night because I learned shortly before I was about to go to bed that my camera, due to a design flaw (and my not having memorized the manual) decided to erase all the pictures I took in the last month and a half, including the really good ones of artifacts from the site I was working on in december, and so I was too annoyed to sleep, and thus am not over being sick yet.

la, la, la...

Oh, and it would also be kind of nice to know whether I'm going to be back out of town next week (and working) or not. But on the up side, I get to go to fencing this week! yay! and see if I can scrounge a washer & tip for my pretty new schlager, which I can't use yet, because nobody sells gorgets for people my size, and I haven't gotten around to making or commissioning one, but anyway... fencing is good, and involves people (if they're not all madly doing 12th night sewing, anyway) most of whom I haven't seen since November...

one of the other members of ffg (who you've never met cause she lives out in seattle now) had a really ahrd time finding a gorget that fit too. i dropped a comment to her in her LJ (user name shadowsong) to find out where she got hers from.

ok...rois got her gorget here http://windrosearmoury.com/body.htm

its the brigantine one. she tried to get it at pennsic, but they didn't have one small enough in stock. she sent them her neck measurement and they made one custom for her.

worth a try...

thanks. I may end up with one of these (and I feel like small ought to be fine, but they only had a medium and 2 larges at pennsic, and I swear the medium was bigger...)

Of course, I'm silly and decided I wanted an all-leather one for some reason, and keep thinking it ought to be relatively easy to make one, if I ever got around to doing something about it or something. That being the hard part, of course. sigh.

if you want an all leather one, ask cwen. she made her own, and she's very good with leather work.
