The cold from hell is almost gone. I did end up getting some work done last night. Just four pieces, but a start. Stuff for a very limited mini-collection of Pre-Raphaelite pieces, and a couple of odds and ends to be posted before I hit the road in two weeks. I am still waiting to see if I can get more components for the Sari earrings; the metalsmith is on vacation at the moment, so it might take a few more days to hear. I also ordered stuff for next month's stuff... I've been inspired by bright colors, Bollywood-inspired colors. Golden yellows, hot pinks, orangey reds, lime greens.

Okay, time to package a few orders and get on the road. I have to hit the bead shop, then head into DDI. Wish me mild weather. No time to pick up a copy of Palimpsest today, but I think I'll order a copy from Amazon.

*yawn* I would like to sleep more.

First of all-- FaerieCon is being held in Baltimore (well, Hunt Valley) this year. Right after Faire ends. ALL Y'ALL GOTTA COME TO ME. Overall, I will really, really miss the Trocadero as the setting for the masquerade balls, but for actual Con purposes, the Hunt Valley Marriott is much better than the Philly convention center. The dealer's room can be separate from the discussion panels and the music, so it won't be one big concrete-echoey mush. Also, the lighting is much better. (I also suggested last year that they poke Romka and/or Asharah to perform at the Bad Faeries Ball, as I thought they'd be more appropriate than the dancers they'd previously chosen. I don't know if they listened, but a girl can hope.) Downside: the Whole Foods/food places that are not owned by Marriott are about a 10 - 15 min walk, so unless vendors have a car, be sure to block out some time. If you're vending and need an errand runner, I'll be there for at least a day; I'd be happy to either do your running or booth sit for you. And J and I will likely have an apartment by then, so if y'all need overnight living room crash space or something... anyhow, YAY.

Though all the 'waaah, Baltimore is so unsafe' whining over at faeriecon is harshing my squee. Hunt Valley is not The Wire, you weak-kneed ninnies.

Second of all, as I am finished up and just waiting for Jason...
