Thank God Lori's brother got a PS3 for christmas, or I'd be out $300 like that...

Happy Birthday, man!

but is ist enough for winter, to have just one long-sleeved layer on? what about sewing the linen surcoat sides together (if I see it well and it is open at the sides) and set some long sleeves in? I actually wear a cotton long-sleeved tunic underneath all of that normally...I just didn't put it on...

HOLYCAPTAINKITUPDATE, BATAN! In my efforts to put together appropriate winter clothing, I have nearly missed winter entirely. That being said, I'm driving an hour to Placerville in a week to the snow for my last chance to wear a crap-ton of wool this season. I got hold of a nice pile of wool blanket...

Chris, your shafts have arrived and I've chopped all of your fletching, so I just need to sit down and start gluing. Thanks for your patience!

If I ever find myself in the UK, I'm gonna look you up so we can go have a side of bacon on that hillside and puff on some pipes for a bit.

Willrett, that'd make a WONDERFUL project sword! Glad to see you've held out to get something that'll really be functional and serviceable for you! Any help you need, let us know!

Found a pretty much to-scale hobbit "sword", a dagger which I've always thought to be about the length that Sting would have been, with a leaf blade too. Maybe slightly shorter than sting was meant to be, but it's pretty nice nonetheless. Fairly old, so it's banged up a bit, but someone he...

Oh...shoot! Didn't I tell y'all I'm marrying a shape-shifter? Getting her measurements was a PAIN, let me tell you...kept going from woman to tree to different kind of tree...*sigh*

Can't win 'em all, eh?

Alright, we're squared away. In addition to the dress in the following photo, she's going to be wearing an old green cloak I've got lying around that she's pretty much claimed as hers (microfiber with a satin lining...pretty fancy schmancy).

I don't know if you already have a reason/catalyst for your pair of adventurers (I believe I remember there being two main characters, yourself and a partner, in your story) going on their quest or what have you, but the destruction of a loved place certainly would give them reason enough to go out ...

While you're replanting there and such, here's a thought. You might write something into your movie script about orcs burning villages or sacred places or something, and do a small bit of filming while it's burned out. It'd be easy to work this into your film, and then when you get around to filming...

Cheesy clothing aside, (Fire Engine Red Cape! Bleaurgh!) that was quite entertaining.

We ARE in wench country. 'Tis dangerous, let me tell you... I *think* I've got this figured out. I've found something that's gonna work. To answer your question, ken, she's learning to Sew, but there really isn't enough time with her schedule as busy as it is to pull something together with this sho...
