Long time no blog

So, as usual I haven't really updated in awhile. I have been knitting, so you can check that out if you have Ravelry. I have found the joy that is swapping. I am entered in a Princess Bride swap currently, and see more in the future that I will definitely be signing up for. Assuming of course that this all goes well. So, I am plotting Princess Bride madness.
I am also getting geared up for the second annual masquerade party. Hopefully, even bigger and better than last year with pirates, naval battles, blacklight, good food, dancing, masked fun, and 18th century costume goodness. As long as I get everything done that is.
I am settling in to my apartment. I have at least opened and mostly unpacked all of the boxes. There are still wayward piles of sewing, knitting, and art supplies to organize, but at least they are out in the open now where I can get to them easier. I should have time over winter break at school to finish cleaning and arranging my things so that when all theatrical drama breaks loose in the spring semester I will be all set and comfortable settled in at home.
Big news is that finally I am going to be able to attend Birka this year! And again I say "!!" I have only been wanting to go for forever, and this will be the first year I will be able to go. Even cooler, I will be helping to work my friends booth, which is awesome as her first hear vending there. If you haven't seen it, check out www.aetasdesigns.com
Now, I suppose I should think about what I am going to wear. The rare chance to attend a winter medieval event, even if it will be held in the warm indoors is too good to pass up. Oh, and for those of you not up on the SCA speak. Market Day at Birka is an indoor event held in New Hampshire at the end of January with tons of great vendors to get together and have a medieval marketplace. So, tons of fun I think.
That is about all of the news from me, so tune in next time to hear how the party goes and what our hero will be up to next week.

So..yeah... didn't I say I was terrible at keeping up with blog type things? Oh well, here are a couple of pics.

Yes, by the way I am still alive and knitting, just a bit busy to do much else at the moment. Maybe over the holidays I will get to a brief update.
