Whewww! Whatta weekend!


What a fabulous time we had this weekend! I am so exhausted, all I want to do is curl up and sleep, but everytime I lay down, can't sleep. lol Saturday was the Coronation of Lucan and Yana. Very nice! And they looked GORGEOUS! I wish I had a picture of them to share. I can't wait to see the pics that Dugan and Caoilfhionn and DeVos and, well all the other photo nuts out there took throughout the day. :-) I'm so mad at myself though. I didn't get a picture of Demi or Caoilfhionn or Michel in their Rus-type garb. :-(

We did our presentations of our unicorn projects to their Majesties while they were sitting in State. I wish I had gotten pictures of each of them. Just amazing. Li did a gorgeous picture of the unicorn from her tapestry, Sight. Eilis did presented a beautiful box that had a specially made insert to hold a bottle of orange essence (? I think that was what it was, Eilis will let us know I hope!) and she painted the orange tree from her tapestry, Smell, on the inside cover of the box. Demi created a gold bowl (gorgeous!) and candies from her tapestry, Taste. I did the banner that you see in the picture above from the tapestry, Touch. Fygen did this fantastic rug thingy (forgive me, my words are gone and I can't think what it's called) and I think she took the pattern off of something from the tapestry, Sound. We did a research paper each. Mine was fairly simple and it included step by step what I did for the project. We apprentices ROCK!!!

So many people in the Haus did some from of Russian/Scythian/Kievan, etc. and we looked great!!! I wish we had had a chance to do a group shot. Maybe at Crown we can do it. Wouldn't that be nice, Jana? :-) And the stage looked so cool all draped with furs and the chaises that Turi made up there for Lucan and Jana to sit on. :-) I hope someone got a good picture of the set-up because it was so I can't think of the right word to use.

Oh and Eilis discovered Parrot Bay Coconut Rum and orange juice. OHMIGAWD! It was FAB-U-LOUS!!!!! What a nice pleasant buzz off that. We so have to have some of that the next time we get together. :-)

I am so exhausted. But it's done and the mad rush to get everything done, cleaned, created, etc. is over. Now I can get caught up on other things, like reading my emails and see how Roak and Jocea's coronation last weekend went. Hopefully there are some pictures out there somewhere to look at. And maybe finish up the cleaning around here. And do some re-organizing. I need to make up that list of Autumn projects.

I have a few things to say about this weekend: "Where's my pepperoni?" "Where's my cream filling?" "Wow, you look fabulous!" "Please sir, can I have another Parrot Bay and orange juice?" "Love Monkey" "That's not a chicken? How cool is that!"

I'm fading fast, time to try the nap thing again......
