The first SCA event of the year is rapidly approaching, and it brings to mind my abandonment of my A&S50 Challenge projects. Well, I haven't really abandoned them yet, but I haven't kept up with them anywhere near like I hoped I would. Sigh.
But every summer when event season rolls around, I start getting in SCA-mode again, and have started thinking about these things. I don't think it's too late yet, though if I don't get a little more motivated I will never be able to finish them all (though I might get to do a lot, and learn a lot in the process).
Hmm, what to start on next. Since pewter-casting is almost done (I only have one project left to do), I could work on that next, and finish one A&S category.
Or I could try something new ... it's the appopriate time of year to plant herbs for my herbal project, but I don't have any herbal beds ready this year. I could grow them in containers, though.
Soapmaking is always an option, as is anything musical, the Sea Chameleon favors, candlemaking and period lighting, and map-making. Those are some ideas to start me off with this year.
Well, I'll probably spend some time thinking about this in the next few days, and picking a project to start researching.
Meanwhile, I'm hopeful of being able to attend War Practice this year, for the first year in many. I had stopped going for awhile because I was sick of it always being miserably cold (I don't do cold and rainy well at all), and in more recent years because I didn't have a dogsitter.
This year (yay!) I have a trusted dog sitter, so I'm planning to go, if the weather cooperates. I had hoped, with the early spring and then the downturn in the weather, the timing would work out that it would be nice again by the event, so I'm still keeping my fingers crossed, though it's a little too soon to tell.
