semperfionaThis is the big one. Along with all those little guys, Tammie and I finished this:
Just in time for Ambercon Northwest; I'm taking it with me to show off. It's been a bit of a clusterfuck though; we had to run out today to buy framing materials, then once we started building the frame we discovered we couldn't find the drill's chuck key, so out to the hardware store we go. Drill one hole, start to screw it together, find that we don't have a countersink bit. Back to the hardware store.
After dinner, we finally started packing my things--the window was going to go in the center of a hardsided suitcase, surrounded by bubble wrap and lots of soft clothing. Uh oh. It fit in there before the frame was on it, at 17 1/2x23, but it doesn't fit now at 19 1/2x25. So Tammie and Chris are at the Evil Empire buying a bigger hardsided luggage. (Hopefully it will not have hundreds of little legs; that would just ruin my day.)
Meanwhile, I have printed business cards, photographed the unicorn for posterity, scrounged up more inflight entertainment, and written this post.
No need for the unicorn flag icon, I've got a better one on this post.

I want!
