Countdown

Elanor skirt: done. A green roundel semy of elanor flowers, with sequin centers and thread lines delineating the petals.

Luthien skirt: done.

Fimbrethil skirt: just needs the hook moved.

Elanor feet: done.

Ranger cloak: hem stitched down where lining was removed.

Pieces parts for Fimbrethil hands and feet: purchased. Two grapevine dragon swags, some leafy stuff for the arms, a couple of coppery wreathy things to go around the lower legs, and green moss to glue onto Pat's shoes. Final assembly will be done on Fimbrethil.

Still need to cut white felt tengwar to spell out "varnasse." Must take paper to Kinko's to size it up more. Not right now, it's really cold.

Beans cooking in crockpot for turkey minestrone tonight.

I think we're going to make it.

Last minute mania

The moss is glued to Fimbrethil's sneakers. It's drying.

The tengwar letters "varnasse" are pinned to the black cloak. I just have to baste them on. Don't want to applique them down, we use this cloak regularly.

ghilledhu called and wants me to bring large grommets, black nail polish, and asked if I knew if purple_and_grey had picked up the green hair dye.

Called the cell phone. No. So we get it at iParty tomorrow before we leave.

Don't let me forget to bring brown thread (and a needle) for basting the twiggy stuff onto Fimbrethil's sweater.

This is insane. But it's going to be fun.
