[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:33 PM] <jemler> KK
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:40 PM] <KK> Hi, all.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:41 PM] <Shiral> And sort of penitently came and brushed his whiskers against my hand.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:42 PM] <the_Bee> hi kk!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:43 PM] <DesertRose> HI KK.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:43 PM] <Evie> Shiral, you probably don't want to hear about a new way to waste your income, but did you know you can find online vendors who sell medieval furniture at 1:48 scale, which might fit your little buildings?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:45 PM] <Shiral> Hello KK
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:47 PM] <jemler> that Call really worked!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:47 PM] <Evie> Hi, KK!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:17:49 PM] <jojo> Hi KK!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:18:20 PM] <Shiral> Thank you, Evie. I'll keep it in mind when I build a tiny Rhemuth Castle.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:18:56 PM] <Evie> At the prices they want for a chair or a table, you might want to make that a tiny room. :D
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:18:57 PM] <DesertRose> How is everybody in your neck of the woods, KK? I hear y'all got some weather this week.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:00 PM] <jemler> build one for Evie, i'm sure duncan et al would love place.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:06 PM] <Shiral> Probably.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:17 PM] <KK> Nothing too bad, at least where I was.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:20 PM] <Shiral> But I mainly stick to exteriors. =o)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:21 PM] <DesertRose> Good.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:37 PM] <Shiral> What sort of weather?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:42 PM] <jemler> we lost power here today. hopefully it will stay on now.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:45 PM] <jemler> raining here
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:47 PM] <DesertRose> Some fairly robust thunderstorms.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:52 PM] <Shiral> Ah
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:19:54 PM] <KK> A bit of rain, some thunder, but nothing too close to me.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:20:09 PM] <DesertRose> DC caught the worst of it, I think.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:20:10 PM] <Evie> we had a lot of thunder earlier, but not much actual storming in this area
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:20:17 PM] * Shiral dismisses any thunderstorms over Virginia for the next hour
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:20:22 PM] <Evie> I think it just passed near us
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:20:51 PM] <Evie> lots of loud steady rumbling but very little actual rain
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:20:56 PM] <the_Bee> We had flooding in some areas, but I'm on a hilltop.

[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:04 PM] <KK> And interestingly enough, since I got the Thundershirt for Oswald, he hasn't been afraid of thunder--and hasn't even had to wear the shirt to not be afraid. Go figure. It must be like an insurance policy.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:09 PM] <the_Bee> hi alkari
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:11 PM] <DesertRose> Hiya Alkari.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:18 PM] <Alkari> Good morning all.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:23 PM] <DesertRose> Thundershirt?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:24 PM] <Evie> Hi, Alkari
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:25 PM] <jemler> hi alkari
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:44 PM] <Shiral> Hi Alkari
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:48 PM] * Alkari waves at chatters.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:21:52 PM] <Evie> LOL, KK! Sort of like going to the doctor and feeling better the moment you get into the office, with the symptoms all gone?

[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:00 PM] <Evie> Hi, DF
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:02 PM] <DesertRose> Hi derynifanatic64.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:02 PM] <jemler> hi df
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:03 PM] <the_Bee> hi DF
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:03 PM] <KK> Google it. It's a close-fitting dog coat that's supposed to simulate being hugged, and soothes nervous dogs.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:04 PM] <Alkari> HI there DF
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:06 PM] <derynifanatic64> hi all
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:08 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, okay.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:15 PM] <Shiral> I will say though that my house show 2 weeks ago went great.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:29 PM] * Shiral distributes cookies while blowing her own horn
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:31 PM] <Alkari> Sounds like those special blankets that they put over racehorses when entering thebarriers
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:32 PM] <KK> Maybe he's figured out that the other dogs aren't afraid.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:33 PM] <Evie> Good!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:45 PM] * Evie munches on a cookie
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:22:58 PM] <Shiral> Maybe he's playing it cool
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:02 PM] <KK> How many houses did you show, Shiral?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:09 PM] <Evie> You did show the Hagio Iob along with the other houses, yes?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:10 PM] <Shiral> There were about 14 in all
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:12 PM] <Shiral> Yes
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:17 PM] <jemler> i'd prefer a real hug.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:24 PM] <KK> What kinds of comments did you get?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:24 PM] <Shiral> that's most of the ones I've done for the last 9 years
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:27 PM] <Shiral> "
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:38 PM] <jemler> i know, wishful thinking. i'd probably get fish! :)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:43 PM] <Shiral> "Wow, this is what you do for FUN?" "Are they for sale?"
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:46 PM] <DesertRose> Interesting, KK. My ex-stepdog could probably use that.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:47 PM] <derynifanatic64> yeo
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:23:51 PM] <derynifanatic64> yep
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:04 PM] * Evie smacks jemler with a fish just so he'll feel safe and loved
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:13 PM] <DesertRose> LOL
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:14 PM] <jemler> ex-stepdog?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:16 PM] * Shiral sends a fish to hug Jemler
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:19 PM] <derynifanatic64> :D
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:22 PM] <DesertRose> My exboyfriend's dog.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:30 PM] * Alkari tips a large bucket of fish over him.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:31 PM] <Shiral> Talk about blended families!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:36 PM] <KK> Of course, getting it on a dog who insists on flopping on his side is a challenge. And the one time I tried to put it on him, it caused a dogfight.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:38 PM] <DesertRose> He was my stepdog, but now he is not as I am no longer with his person.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:46 PM] <DesertRose> Oh jeez.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:49 PM] <KK> Don't know if the others were jealous, or worried it was harmful, or what.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:53 PM] <Alkari> LOL @ KK.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:24:54 PM] <Evie> Caused a dog fight? The others wanted it? :D
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:25:13 PM] <KK> They are guaranteed, though.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:25:15 PM] <Evie> maybe they just thought it "smelled funny"
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:25:32 PM] <KK> Who knows?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:25:50 PM] <Evie> when Luke gets out of the house and then we bring him back in, Gigi sometimes acts like he's a total stranger
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:25:52 PM] <Alkari> He's obviously not top dog in the pecking order
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:26:18 PM] <KK> Who, Oswald? Oh, he's top dog all right.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:26:35 PM] <Alkari> And the others fight him?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:26:39 PM] <KK> I sort of think they were trying to protect him.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:26:47 PM] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:26:59 PM] <Evie> brb...going to load up my plate
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:27:01 PM] <the_Bee> from the shirt?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:27:04 PM] <Alkari> Ah - of course you are about to hurt him, you cruel person!!!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:27:12 PM] <DesertRose> BRB myself, tea.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:27:14 PM] <derynifanatic64> :(
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:27:34 PM] <KK> It was obviously some kind of dog torture device.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:27:36 PM] <Alkari> Animals are funny like that
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:28:00 PM] <KK> The two youngsters are getting very protective of Oswald, maybe beause he's 14.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:28:13 PM] <Alkari> That's a good age, KK
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:28:26 PM] <the_Bee> That's really old, especially for a large-breed dog.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:28:37 PM] <KK> It is. Every day is a gift, at this point. He's in good shpe for 14.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:28:40 PM] <jemler> 98 to us
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:28:41 PM] <KK> shape
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:28:56 PM] <Alkari> Yes. Our German Shepherd went to 15, and everyone said that was an amazing age for her
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:30:25 PM] <Evie> back
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:30:33 PM] <Shiral> Front and sideways
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:30:41 PM] <Shiral> I have to be
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:30:49 PM] <derynifanatic64> and diagonal
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:30:53 PM] <Shiral> "official" so If I'm quiet, that's why
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:31:02 PM] <Alkari> top and bottom
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:31:05 PM] <Shiral> Araxie LOVES Diagonal apologies. =o)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:31:13 PM] <Alkari> Official?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:31:20 PM] <KK> Anybody watch the Thames pageant today? It was pretty impressive.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:31:28 PM] <the_Bee> Shiral's on duty at work
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:31:44 PM] <KK> This is Jubilee weekend in London.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:32:05 PM] <Shiral> Alas and alack
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:32:07 PM] <Evie> I know, and it's one of the few times I miss having TV
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:32:10 PM] <KK> Nearly 1000 boats.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:32:10 PM] <derynifanatic64> no--today is my mom's birthday
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:32:14 PM] <Alkari> It was on very late our time KK, so I went to bed
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:32:23 PM] <jemler> happy birthday, mom!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:32:36 PM] <Alkari> The weather didn't look that great
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:32:54 PM] <jemler> i lack a lass! :)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:32:55 PM] <derynifanatic64> ;)72--but you didn't hear that from me
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:33:00 PM] <the_Bee> Rain doesn't faze the English.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:33:14 PM] <KK> Weather got bad about 1/2 to 2/3 through, but it was still impressive, and everyone seemed to be having a great time, even with the rain.

[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:33:59 PM] <jemler> hi bynw
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:34:04 PM] <Alkari> I always laugh when watching the Edinburgh Tattoo - it's supposedly in mid-summer, at night, but I havenever seen one where people aren't rugged up tot he teeth, in scarves, overcoats, hats, and such.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:34:15 PM] <Evie> hi bynw
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:34:19 PM] <bynw> hi all
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:34:22 PM] <Alkari> Hi Bynw
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:34:29 PM] <KK> I've been several times, and one does have to dress for the weather.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:34:31 PM] <derynifanatic64> hi bynw
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:34:46 PM] <jojo> hi bynw
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:34:51 PM] <KK> And we were next to the Royal Box, under cover.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:35:12 PM] * Alkari shivers.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:35:21 PM] <KK> Neat show, though.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:35:32 PM] <KK> And different every year.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:35:40 PM] <Evie> How'd you get next to the Royal Box? Guest pass from the Haldanes? ;-)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:35:40 PM] <Alkari> Yes, they have some great stuff.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:36:00 PM] <KK> We had friends who took that box every year, and invited us as their guests.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:36:28 PM] <Alkari> Nice :D
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:36:33 PM] <Evie> cool
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:36:45 PM] <KK> Sadly, that guy has gone on to that great Tattoo in the Sky.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:37:00 PM] <derynifanatic64> :(
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:37:03 PM] <Shiral> It's all in who you know! =o)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:37:09 PM] <KK> Yep.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:37:13 PM] <the_Bee> Think Elizabeth II will break Queen Victoria's record?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:37:20 PM] <derynifanatic64> we'll see
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:37:45 PM] <jemler> she only needs 10 more years.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:37:47 PM] <KK> She's in great shape, and that's only about 3 years from now. I'd guess she will. After all, the Queen Mum was 100 when she passed.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:37:47 PM] <Evie> Good to have friends in high places. I do recovery ministry; I only have high friends in low places. ;-)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:38:11 PM] <the_Bee> Did you hear about the schoolboy who wrote that Queen Victoria sat on a thorn for 63 years?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:38:13 PM] <jemler> how high are they?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:38:47 PM] <Evie> lol, Bee
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:40:07 PM] <Alkari> The Duke is aged 90 now, isn't he?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:40:12 PM] <jemler> yes
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:40:13 PM] <derynifanatic64> yes
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:40:16 PM] <the_Bee> so I heard
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:40:31 PM] <Evie> Luke is gawking at my plate, eyeing the edamame
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:40:42 PM] <DesertRose> Does he think they're peas?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:40:45 PM] <KK> On another topic entirely, Evie, did you get to do any rerooting along with the attempt at stain removal? (Yes, he's 90. Snd she's 86.)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:40:47 PM] <derynifanatic64> she's 4 years younger
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:40:57 PM] <Evie> He knows they're veggies, so that's good enough
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:41:08 PM] <Shiral> Back, aif in the background
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:41:22 PM] <Evie> No, KK, not yet, but I have a rerooting tool arriving in the mail that should get here probably tomorrow or Tuesday
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:42:04 PM] <Evie> allegedly a Barbie reroot should only take around 10 minutes with this tool, but I imagine that's if done by someone experienced at it
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:42:09 PM] <KK> Ah. I saw some of the tools when I looked at one of the links you sent me and it went to a tutorial. Interesting stuff.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:42:13 PM] <Evie> for me, multiply by ten
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:42:31 PM] <Alkari> Keep you occupied for an evening ;)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:42:49 PM] <Evie> the tool I ordered is similar to the one on that site, but with a wooden handle and a little less expensive.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:42:55 PM] * Alkari looks forward to pics of a series of totally bald heads ....
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:43:03 PM] <Evie> LOL!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:43:23 PM] <the_Bee> with holes where hair used to be?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:43:24 PM] <Evie> Did you see the upload from this afternoon, Alkari? Duncan was covered with zit cream overnight
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:43:30 PM] <Alkari> "Just practising - got a little enthusiastic."
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:43:32 PM] <Evie> Original Duncan, that is
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:43:36 PM] <jemler> telly savalas, yul brynner, michael jordan.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:43:48 PM] <Alkari> Sexy Bald Duncan
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:43:52 PM] <Evie> lol
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:43:56 PM] <derynifanatic64> :D
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:44:01 PM] <Shiral> I hope his complexion cleared up!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:44:05 PM] <KK> I think they look better with hair.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:44:11 PM] <Shiral> That's a rather large tonsure, though!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:44:17 PM] <Evie> well, if I were to root a Duncan starting with a totally bald head, he could have a little tonsure. :D
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:44:17 PM] <Alkari> Alaric says you can keep right away from him with that tool, woman!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:45:01 PM] <Evie> but it would either have to be one that didn't start out with holes, or else I'd have to find some way to hide the holes at the top of his scalp
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:45:18 PM] <Alkari> A sculpy cap
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:45:22 PM] <KK> Could you fill the extra holes with sculpy?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:45:28 PM] <Evie> possibly
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:45:49 PM] <Evie> or that moldable plastic could be made into a tiny tonsure and glued over the holes
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:45:56 PM] <Evie> it would be less brittle
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:45:58 PM] <jemler> I heard this when I was in college: "A man who is losing his hair in front is sexy. A man who is losing his hair in back is a great thinker. A man losing his hair in both places thinks he is sexy." :)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:46:05 PM] <Evie> Sculpy can be a bit fragile
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:46:24 PM] <KK> If it's any comfort, I've always pictured the tonsures in Deryniland as being small, token tonsures, perhaps the size of a silver dollar.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:46:52 PM] <Evie> That's what I was going for when I tried covering a thumbtack with Sculpey. In 1:6 scale, that's about silver dollar sized
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:47:04 PM] <Evie> but it didn't look right because it didn't lie flat enough
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:47:14 PM] <KK> If the sculpy were down in the holes, and the excess wiped off, I'd think it would stay. You could paint over it with clear nail varnish to seal it.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:47:20 PM] <Evie> the tonsure isn't supposed to float above the hair. :D
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:47:24 PM] <the_Bee> He could wear a skullcap.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:47:45 PM] <Evie> I tried making one with felt, Bee, but the edges are too thick and it didn't look right
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:47:55 PM] <Evie> I might try again now that I know about needle felting.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:48:04 PM] <Shiral> "We can't let Sister Evie do the barbering anymore, she gets so carried away with her tonsures!"
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:48:07 PM] <KK> It needs to be done with pie-shaped sections, so it has some shape.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:48:29 PM] <Evie> I may try again if I can get some thinner felt
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:49:05 PM] <Evie> or else some microfiber fabric that has a bit of a nap to it, but less thickness
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:49:30 PM] <jojo> or black stabilizer
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:49:48 PM] <Evie> I tried working on a test pattern for a fitted Court gown for Richenda, but that ended when Luke sat on both the bodice pieces and poor Richenda
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:50:11 PM] <Alkari> rofl
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:50:15 PM] <Evie> but not before I decided I loathe 1:6 scale inset sleeves. :D
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:50:36 PM] <Alkari> Tell Luke he is not Tiger!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:50:47 PM] <DesertRose> I would think gusseted sleeves would be even worse at 1:6 scale.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:50:54 PM] <Evie> Luke sees me dragging out the little people and suddenly he wants to "help"
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:51:03 PM] <Shiral> Alaric must have been frantic! =o)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:51:26 PM] <Evie> well, inset sleeves aren't really period for this early on, but I was working from an online pattern
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:51:32 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, true.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:51:32 PM] <Alkari> Teymuraz has just invaded Coroth via a giant cat.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:51:39 PM] <Evie> I might see if I can adapt it to a rectangular construction pattern
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:52:09 PM] <jojo> Do you have some barbie patterns? Maybe you couldadapt from them.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:52:45 PM] <Evie> that's what this is. It's a pattern adapted for this body shape of Barbie (there are several body shapes), and it's for what was originally one of Arwen's costumes from LOTR
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:52:57 PM] <Evie> although I'm adapting it a bit from the original style
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:54:10 PM] <Evie> it's the bodice portion of this pattern: http://www.molendrix.com/mourning1.html
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:55:32 PM] <Evie> except if I can figure out how it goes together, I want to do something similar in green, black, and gold
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:55:33 PM] <Shiral> Nice! Although I hope you didn't make it in black.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:55:48 PM] <Evie> I didn't make it at all, yet. Just a couple of test muslins
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:55:51 PM] <Shiral> But maybe Luke was trying to spare you frustration
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:55:58 PM] <Evie> he was too late for that. ;-)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:56:12 PM] <Shiral> Well yes. He'd have had to have started months ago!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:56:31 PM] <Evie> I got the fit of the bodice right, but the sleeves are killing me. The seam doesn't continue up from the bodice side seam, it's a bit further up and back.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:56:45 PM] <Shiral> Sorry all, I have to go. Back to the rockpile, er, Reference desk.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:56:49 PM] <Evie> but trying to figure out the exact sleeve placement is a pain
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:56:52 PM] <bynw> cya sis
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:56:57 PM] <Evie> See you later, Shiral
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:56:59 PM] <Alkari> Bye shiral
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:02 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, see you Shiral.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:06 PM] <the_Bee> Why is it called a "mourning gown"? Was it intended for funerals?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:07 PM] <Shiral> KK, I hope you have a good writing week. Excuse yourself from the Royal jubilee. =o)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:12 PM] <jojo> If there isno shoulder seam, try setting the sleeve before sewing the two bodice pieces together?
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:24 PM] <the_Bee> bye shiral
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:27 PM] <KK> Looks like a good pattern, though. I learned to sew on doll clothes, way back when. Wendy-size, aout 8 inches.

[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:32 PM] * Shiral waves farewell, steps onto her portal and disappears in a cloud of blue steam
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:32 PM] <Evie> I think she was in mourning in that movie scene, Bee
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:45 PM] <Shiral> Yes mourning Aragorn
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:55 PM] <Alkari> In the dream sequence
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:57:59 PM] <derynifanatic64> bye shiral
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:58:04 PM] <DesertRose> It's modeled after Arwen's gown in LOTR when Elrond is telling her to go to the Gray Havens because Aragorn will eventually die well before she does.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:58:08 PM] <KK> Speaking of Jubilee, gotta dash. The Diamond Queen is starting at 8 on BBC America, and won't be on again.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:58:12 PM] <Shiral> Toodle-oo, all!
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:58:12 PM] <the_Bee> I don't recall that scene.
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:58:14 PM] <jemler> nite shiral. tell your boss i said HI! :)
[Sunday, June 03, 2012] [07:58:15 PM] <Evie> OK

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)
