helwenDress is mostly done. No embellishments but will be wearable. Need to finish hemming the neck and doing fiddly bits with the points of the front and back gores by hand. The sides _should_ be laced, but I don't have time for that so I took advantage of the fact that the dress is made of wool and that my shoulders are relatively flexible, and completely sewed up the sides. Yes, I have tested that I can pull the dress on and off over my head, and it passed.
Middle layer will be interesting. I have a few make-do options. Chemise is of course, all set. Can't find my silk veil anywhere, so guess I'm veil-less again :( Haven't had time to make a linen veil out of the super lightweight stuff. Oh well, so I'll be SCA-norm for most tinhats...
Still have to make a belt, and that's been problematical, as I forgot about it when we went shopping for fabric and so I don't have ideal trim. I may use some white and silver metallic trim, putting it on a fabric backing. It's some sort of stylized 4-petal flower pattern -- still reads as a "rose" despite the lack of a 5th petal, at least in my brain... And I have some silver cording, so I could use that for the part of the belt that hangs down in front. Hm... and find some gems or something to accent it, so it doesn't look like a knight's belt (also for the pretty, thanks!) Oh, and if I have time, I have a short piece of trim that might look spiff around the neck.
Don't have time to make something new for L, unfortunately, as the discovery of the fire spark damage was too close to Yule, especially given everything else going on. But we have a plan for making it less noticeable. Hopefully it will work -- gotta test that today.

Have to check Paypal today and get all that squared away, and email Ellid with info on one person.
Have to make a list of everything for silent auction that I know about, print out a certificate or two for a couple of items (custom-made bracer by Aleksei and ale/beer by Ateno).
Make chocolate bark today, so it can set overnight.
Check and finish packing feast gear.
Cut a little bit of holly for the wren's bier.

Loaner clothing for BG is hanging on the door. Herald tabards also hanging on the door.
***
A baron from the Midrealm might be stopping by at our event. He came through earlier in the year and had so much fun at fighter practice that he wants to visit again.

And in non-SCA activities today, finish making soup and make some applesauce :P
