Checking in on progress

Makin' a list...checking it...sometimes

An embarrassingly long time ago, I posted about an Apprentice Challenge started by a lovely person in An Tir. I've not paid any attention to the list at all, really, but let's just see where I'm at with things, shall we?

PROJECT COMPLETION

• Completed a project that's been in the UFO pile for years. - Fancy apron and bonus wool dress
• Completed a project that's been on the "ooh, one day I'll make/perform THAT" list for years. - Fancy banner
• Completed a project that is your most historically accurate thing to date. - Fancy banner
• Made/performed something new, that you've never tackled before. - Fancy banner (I'm getting a lot of mileage out of this thing!
• Made/performed something using largely period techniques and materials. - Fancy banner (!)
• Finished something COMPLETELY - no corners cut, no slap-dash substitutions. Something you're PROUD of. ...wait for it... Fancy banner
• Defeated a Monster - conquered a thing you've been terrified to tackle: a new discipline, a new medium, a new style. Something you've been terrified to do, but you DID it.

So, things have been completed! This is excellent! But I'm still not entirely happy with this list. There's no research component, or way to capture things like "cooked a researched feast" (which is Art, Science and Service, if you ask me), or documenting something, or publishing in places like newsletters and blogs. I shall have a think about this and probably refactor this list into something more relevant to my situation and opinions.

Anyway, I'll have more to write about after this weekend, so stay tuned...
