helwenFinished the seams on the rest of the Snowberg surcoats. Realized I don't have to deal with making one more surcoat because the group leader can wear mine. Ironed the edges on two of them... yes I know the fighters will get them all mucked up, but they should at least start out looking decent. And have some yellow w/black edging strips that can be used as baldrics/belt favors by the archers, fencers, and waterbearers in our group.
Last year I gave the waterbearers some to wear, because they work very hard to keep our fighters healthy (and any other fighters who are nearby, for that matter). Those of us who do heavy combat, fencing, siege, CA, etc., should not take them for granted, because without them we'd have a lot more medical issues come up! Bergental's waterbearers usually include some folks with first aid experience, too.
Finished winding the warp onto the little Mountain loom. Don't know if I'll be able to start weaving tonight though... shoulder is giving me heck. I've been taking a lot of breaks this week, to try to not overdo when working on setting up the loom, gardening, etc. We also went to Deth's to start making arrows. I think I'm going to have to give him some extra money and have him make most of mine. I want to learn to do it, but I don't think I can handle making 21 of them :( Still, I should at least be able to get some working knowledge. I learn most crafts fairly quickly.
But the shoulder is definitely annoying. The ironing actually came after the loom work, which didn't bother my shoulder at all. I could pick up the spray bottle to mist the linen, pull the trigger repeatedly, but then putting the bottle down and a little to the side made for the nastiest twinge. So of course I switched things around and got the ironing done -- hadn't realized that I do most of my ironing righthanded before this...
I'm taking Extra Strength Tylenol instead of Ibuprofen right now, because it's supposedly safer for long-term use (as long as you take it as prescribed). But it really doesn't work as well as Ibuprofen does. And when it stops working, it really _stops_. Feh.
Got in a couple of short walks today. Moved some things out of the living room. Yay!

fitzw has been super busy today, and gotten many things and much done. You can read about it in his LJ though :)
