the weekend in review

This weekend was just plain packed.

Butonquail (who is now [livejournal.com profile] cyberquail) arrived on Friday evening, [livejournal.com profile] derien's brother arrived Saturday around noon, and her mom was here on and off all weekend as well. Much was done. Much was eaten.

We had a grand Indian food feast on Saturday. First we got supplies at the farmers market and various stores. Then [livejournal.com profile] cyberquail and I cooked a huge meal for everyone. I'm still happily eating the leftovers. When we had recovered movement, we went to a move then to see Leon Redbone play. We came back home and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning talking.

On Sunday we enjoyed a slow day, the sun, flew kites, [livejournal.com profile] cyberquail prepared a pork roast with sake and soy sauce and I threw together some quick spuds to go along.

In the out of the ordinary department, I fitted a chainmaille skirt for [livejournal.com profile] cyberquail. This revision of the design allows the wearer to get out of the skirt without the help of a lady's maid, it goes on over the head and off over the hips(whereas [livejournal.com profile] derien's version of that skirt requires help or a contortionists skill to get out of it). I was surprised how quickly I was able to make it fit right.

It was a wonderful weekend.
