    Thankx All......Ain't it strange how stuff worx ? A few weeks ago, I was thinkin' bout makin' some bias cut wool socks that would be better than the knit ones I have fer me Pyrate stuff, you know “Other things ter do somday... maybe”..... So I was kinda surprised when I found a message from Red Handed Jill telling me that the Pub was back. (Well I don't check alla my folders in Facebook that often)

     

    So wot 'hve I ben doin' since then ?

     

    Well if any of you remember Martie (tall pretty woman with Blond hair) from the last PiP, Well... we “Jumped over th' Broomstick”, and are now married..., But (ick) she makes me take showers more often than once a week, I don't hang out in bars anymore, but we Love each other.

     

    I got into Post Apocalyptic stuff, and I've been to Wasteland Weekend five times...Fun and Games out in the Mojave Desert... Dust storms, temperatures up to 116 in the shade, Loud High Octane fuel Guzzilin' Mad Maxis cars...Wot's not to like ?

     

    I got a 3D printer,I have two; an Ender 3 FDM, and a Mars resin printer. And have been sculpting miniatures in Blender. Anyone into 3D printing can see some of my sculpts on Thingiverse, just do a search for designerpatt.

     

    Now that th' Pub's back, I wanna make those socks, I've gotta help Martie make her alla her Pyrate garb, so we can do som' Pyratie stuff....and I have a great idea for “Pyrate Comix...Th' New Hope” (OK, I gotta work on the title a bit more...) But it's great to be back.

    Looks like we've had some parallels in the intervening years!

    Marriage: Congratulations!

    3D Printing: I've been making toilet and bike parts as well as plates for relief printing

    Same Haircut: I still enjoy wearing the long part up with some of the hairsticks you made me many years ago.

    Hope you find a good use for that!  If memory serves, Patt dyed his and made a pair of slops.  There should be more than enough for either that or a shirt.

     

    I got a cool scarf from Duchess with block-printed nautical motifs!

    Not just a cool scarf, each of those blocks was made by a Pub member and printed by me. You are now in possession of the proof print for the 2023 Traveling Yard. It is 100% cotton and will take dye nicely, or wear it proudly as is. :D

    Designated Recipients have all been sent off to those of you who signed up. If you didn't get a message from me but you should have, let me know ASAP.

     

    If you're a Last Minute sort of person with FOMO and suddenly feel the urge to sign up, also message me ASAP.

    With the return of the Pyracy Pub comes the reanimation of Pyracy Pub Gift Exchange!

    I'm looking for a crew, from far locations, willing to come together for a special mission. This crew will be elite, capable to carrying out the most difficult of tasks...putting things in the post. Sign up now!

    In all seriousness, the Pub Gift Exchange has been a lovely tradition going back many years. I've missed it; the creative gifts it has spawned and the good cheer for all.

    However, please, before you commit to participating in this event be absolutely sure that you will follow through on the terms as provided below. I'm sure you all can understand how frustrating it is to be the person who is still waiting for their surprise well after the New Year...So don't create that situation.

    So here's how it’s going to work:

    Who is eligible:

    • Any current member of the Pub is eligible.
    • Regardless of membership status, by signing up you solemnly agree that you will provide some sort of pleasant contact with your designated recipient. If you don't I'll be distinctly displeased with you. I've got no real authority except my opinions.

    What you'll do:

    • Sign up. See below for information about how to accomplish this.
    • After the sign-up cut-off I will PM you the name and address of your Designated Recipient.
    • Sometime in the near future you will put something in the mail, timed so as to arrive before December 25, for your Designated Recipient.

    What you will send:

    • Often these sorts of arrangements come with a dollar amount limit. I’m not convinced that is appropriate for some place like the Pub, and things have been pretty successful in the past without one. Please don't let this lack of specification make you uncomfortable. Also know that you're not buying our friendship, respect or any other sort of attention, so don't bother showing off. Consider your own situation and be reasonable with how a gift exchange will fit into it. Things that people have done in the past: Holiday Cards, CD's, dice, a deck of cards, belt pouches, glass pens, etc.... Basically anything goes as long as it is kind and reasonably well intentioned. If this section is really stressing you out PM me, and we'll come up with something or I'll give you quantitative limits to make you feel better.
    • The most successful gifts are often hand crafted, but they don't have to be.

    How to sign up:

    • Send me a PM with your name (or something the post office will recognize as a name capable of receiving packages) and an address.
    • Each interested party must contact me themselves, from their own account. I won't sign anyone up on someone else's say so. Simply expressing interest here is like wise insufficient. You must send me a PM with your name and address. This is a test.
    • I MUST RECEIVE YOUR PM BY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24th. FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE!
    • I will then mix up all the entries and pair up everyone, plan on this taking one week. I'll then send you a PM no later than December 1st containing the name and address of your Designated Recipient.

    General Information:

    • Once you have your recipient, you will then find, craft, beg, or barter something for them and post it off to the supplied address. Please let me know when your package has shipped.
    • After the Gift exchange is complete everyone should purge their PM's of sensitive identifying information (like names and addresses) and I will do the same.
    • You're free to open your Gift whenever you get it (or to wait for some special day) and post here in great detail about it.
    • You are free to post here, in this thread, general information about what you are interested in to help your Designated Giver. You're also free to remain entirely mum.You can also PM me details and I'll share them with your Designated Gifter.

    If you've any questions please post here or send me a PM. I'm looking forward to a season of festive or at least interesting cheer!

    Thanks,

    Duchess.

    I'm heading off to the final weekend of my localish renaissance festival tomorrow. I entirely failed at any plans for new garb despite my carefully laid plans. So this evening I've been digging through my bins to cobble something together from things I made nearly two decades ago. A small leather folder contained this note and some handmade goods from one of our departed friends and I find it is suddenly a maudlin evening here abouts.
