(no subject)

Staying home from practice tonight to dismantle a corn broom. Just to watch it die, as it were.

Well, actually no. To use the broom straw to stiffen a kirtle. But I'm a bit bitter about the skin it took off my hand today, so there'll be a certain satisfaction in its death, beyond just getting the material.

Adrienne: 1, Broom: 0

The straw is drying upstairs, after straightening out from its wire-induced kinks in a warm tub.

For some reason, they dye corn straw brooms. I don't totally get it.

Oh, yeah, and Bess?

I should bloody-well think so! Do you have any lungs left after that call?
