Made some little cookies.

Lifted the original recipe from a web comic.

First I spent a couple hours shelling pinon nuts. I always forget how irritatingly slow that goes.

Rolled some in cocoa powder for the second coating and some in a mixture of powdered sugar and cocoa powder.

Did a test chain that ended up becoming a small necklace. Used the old pinball machine solenoid coils again. Only 4 knots per rotation to see how it would come out. Ended up having to make a draw plate, which will be good to have. Did a smaller section with 7 that also worked out well.

Also ended up making a set of beaded earrings that I don't have a photo of.

Trying to keep this up to date with what projects I need to pay attention to so I don't get distracted with something else.

• Military Coat MK I - Test piece. body is pinned, need to add trim and final stitching
• Military coat MK II - Rough sketches, bought fabric
• Wheel Tunic 1 - Not started, bought fabric
• Wheel Tunic 2 - Not started, given fabric, still need black
• Leg harness - Leather cut, need to draw out tooling pattern
• Stonehaven - Need to finish character building and fill it out
• Stonehaven artwork - Concept sketched out, damn close to what I want the final to look like
• Book - Materials gathered, need to pick up some glue
• Ridiculous Chain - Need to find some more wire
• Belt thingy - Have leather, dye, and ring, need to draw tooling pattern again

Still a lot that I'm missing, but this is a good start.

Decided tonight that I wanted gauntlets, so here's my test piece...

Still need to do strapping and final thumb placement.

Working on a new coat, not using any patterns, curious as to how it will turn out.

Be back next week.
