Just a quick entry today–there’s lots of preparations going on for the conference, so I need to get busy.  I’m about as ready to go as I’ll ever be, with the exception of packing clothes.

Over the weekend I busied myself sewing a costume for the conference’s costume banquet.  It’s a dress I’ve wanted to make for some time, and the deadline was a handy motivation for getting it done.  Here’s a rather blurry in-the-bathroom-mirror shot of the finished product:

It’s a Scottish dress, complete with plaid skirt.  I absolutely adore it–I wore it half the day yesterday, just for the pleasure of it.  One can never be too old for dress-up, right?

Well, I’m off to get packed and ready to leave tomorrow.  More later.
