Current mood:

inadequate.

I wanna skill. :(
Went to surprise baby shower for Stephanie-the-Former-Coworker, daughter of Diane-the-Coworker. Gave little pink plush snail (because a) it's a girl and b) snails are cool) and box of baby wipes. Turns out nearly every single guest also gave baby wipes. Expect child will have enough baby wipes to last her through college.

Stephanie surprised us in turn by revealing that her boyfriend had proposed to her just that morning. I told her about the traditional Norse gift of a cat as a wedding present to new couples (pest control for the household, doncha know), and assured her that she was fully within her rights to demand the kitten for which she yearns. :D

Am feeling rather guilty right now regarding SCA stuff, because in the year or so that I have been attending, I haven't really picked up any skills outside of dances and making a single dish (rugula). Meanwhile Shade is ridiculously crafty and has made a belt pouch, several tablet-woven belts, and a whole freaking shirt. And that's all just in the last few weeks.

I dunno, I feel like I ought to develop a skill, but I have no idea where to start. That and I'm wavering on my persona...I started out determined to do 15th-16th century German based purely on the clothing, but I'm peering over to the English side of the fence, roughly 11th-13th centuries (a pretty wide umbrella, I'll admit). On top of everything, I'm fairly certain my SCA name (Hilde*) isn't period for either one!

I'm so confused. :(
