kamaria {Pel} in Lea's care restricted
is at Joe and Nyah's place and says to ALL: *taking the broom in her hands she moves toward the entrace, moving in smooth, precise brushes across the floor. her eyes stay down on the floor, making sure she collects all the debry. turning again the other way she continues. her feet feet swiftly as the small pile begins to add up*
(13:17:32 )

kamaria {Pel} in Lea's care restricted
is at Joe and Nyah's place and says to ALL: *the two piles swept together she quickly discards the debry. she put the broom away moving to the sink seeing only a couple of bowl and mugs that needed to be washed. her hands moved quickly over each item, setting it to the side to be rinsed. the water trailed over each mug and bowl, as she reached for a clean cloth to dry them. reaching up she set each away.*
(13:29:36 )
kamaria {Pel} in Lea's care restricted
is at Joe and Nyah's place and says to ALL: *wiping the counter off, she put any food or drink away that had been out, surveying the kitchen and making sure everything looked spotless. she moved back out into the main room, slipping out the door as she grabbed a small basket heading for the beach*
(13:32:50 )
kamaria {Pel} in Lea's care restricted

kamaria {Pel} in Lea's care restricted
is upon a large pebble beach and says to ALL: *stepping onto the beach so looked out at the tempting sea, knowing it was too cold to swim but at the moment any kind of feeling would be good as her body was numb. she walked along the beach sifting through stones, finding a smooth pebble here or there as she tossed it into the basket*
(13:37:22 )
kamaria {Pel} in Lea's care restricted
is upon a large pebble beach and says to ALL: *she wandered to the end of the beach, finding a rock to sit up as she continued looking for the pebbles. she looked out at the water again, picking up a stone as she threw it. her eyes returned to the ground as she continued her search the basket, not nearly enough full*
(13:40:53 )
kamaria {Pel} in Lea's care restricted
is upon a large pebble beach and says to ALL: *her hands moved around each stone, eyes looking for smoothness as well. the wind continued to whip her mane into her face, as she simply let it. the waves crashed against the shore, as she stretched up walking near the edge. taking her boots off she waded into the water a bit, tossing her cloak to the side as well. she reached down for a handful of pebbles,finding 3 more worthy ones as she placed them in the basket*
(13:43:54 )
kamaria {Pel} in Lea's care restricted
is upon a large pebble beach and says to ALL: *she waded out a bit further the bottom of her kirtle getting a lil wet now as her legs soaked up the cold sea. her body shook though she cared not contiuing to reach for another. the basket was now half full as she looked out to the what seemed never ending sea*
(13:52:47 )
kamaria {Pel} in Lea's care restricted
is upon a large pebble beach and says to ALL: *she waded back out the water, her kirtle a bit wet, still not caring as she moved along the beach collecting more smooth stones. the basket was a bit heavy now as she set it down. picking up her boots and cloak she moved back to the same rock, letting her feet air as she wrapped the cloack around her again. she slid down letting the cold air attack her feet as her head fall back against the rock*

*scribbles a swift but legible note* I've got twenty-nine fully cured full-sized bosk furs coming in along wiht 92 barrels of cured and preserved bosk meat...I think Item 16 is pretty well taken care of except for curing any, ummm "incidental" hides. This does not count the furs that are coming in with My and My Mate's wagon...those few are being counted in Our own personal inventory. *G*

(08:49:39 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is at Joe and Nyah's place and says to ALL: ~ moving from Her room She went to the kitchen... getting Herself a goblet of juice and a chocolate bun She walked to the main room to sort through the stones kam got for Her... sitting at the table She looked into the basket and picked out the ones that could be good when tumbled.. munching on the bun as She worked~
(08:54:02 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is at Joe and Nyah's place and says to ALL: ~ taking a sip of the juice I sorted the prettiest... then dividing them between sizes ... there was a varied selection of colors and She though kam had done fantastic work getting these... they were smooth as She wanted so it was easier to tumble them in a barrel with shingle and sand~
(09:03:08 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is at Joe and Nyah's place and says to ALL: She knew they would reduce slightly in the barrel so made sure they were not too small once they were sorted She rose and got a rep cloth tying all the good ones in it.... what was left in the basket could be painted... for paper weights for scrolls and other things... they were simple but pretty and they were well liked in Kargash...taking the basket to the kitchen to be washed She head out to the beach to cather some shingle and sand ... She knew how to make a tumble barrel so She thought that would be the next on Her list to get done today.. though the chore does take days top get the full effect~
(09:07:25 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is uopn the path and says to ALL: ~ putting on Her thick cloak then leaving the house She went round the side... sorting through the shed were the tools were kept She reappeared with a bucket in one hand and a trowel in the other... She was set and headed off down the path to the beach humming softly... Her mother taugh Her how to do this.. it was like a big event in the house and all even Father got involved.. though He was say a rocks a rock... but He still helped out~
(09:13:10 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is upon a large pebble beach and says to ALL: ~ the breeze was fresh on the beach... holding Her hair out Her eyes searching for the best area She started to dig up some shingle and sand.. dropping it in the bucket till it was half full.. it didnt take long so She wandered back Her mind set what She had to do next... trying not to get ahead of Herself... seeing one of the Guard fixing a wagon She hurried over to ask poloitely if He would help Her make the barrel... the guard a middle aged man with a red beard and stunning blue eyes.. smiling to Her He told Her to go into the work shop and choose a small barrel that would suit the job~
(09:16:07 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is uopn the path and says to ALL: ~off She went as told.. Her pace a lil fast as She went into the workshop... putting the bucket on the floor out the way with the trowel pushed into it She searched the barrels... finding a nice small keg She grasped it in both hands... putting it on the counter... She beamed as the Guard entered and complimented ?Her on the find though He knew it was there~
(09:27:17 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is uopn the path and says to ALL: ~He pointed to the side and told Her to choose the handle while He bad a stand for it... She chose one then watched as the Man worked... Her cut a hold then hinged it with a lock in place ... He put a rod through the center and afixed the handle on it... She smiled watching the barrel come to life in a way a new life... eventually she warmed the wax till it was a flexable putty... pushing it in place sealing the holes he had made... She sat on a stool so not to get in the way... the Guards wife appeared with a drink.. seeing Lea she gave Hera hug after greeting her FC... She looked at the Woman and grinned at the swollen belly... the guards hand ruffled Her hair and chuckled telling her not long now and another lil hellion will be born.. She giggled and spoke~ just like Me
(09:30:46 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is uopn the path and says to ALL: ~he laughed and spooke "Aye just like You".. handing Her the barrel She went to pay him some coppers She had but He shook his head... She was to do some more baking when the time comes and His FC is unable to be on Her feet so much... nodding with agreement She thanked him and his Woman... with the barrel under Her arm and grasping the bucket She was off up to the house again~
(09:36:43 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is at Joe and Nyah's place and says to ALL: ~setting up in the shed at the side of the house She poured the shingle and sand carefully in the barrel... racing to the water barrel She scooped up some water then poured that in... putting the bucket down She hurried back to the house for the stones... charging back She unwrapped them then let then drop in the water... doing up the lid hatch and locking it in place She started to turn the handle... swopping hands so bnot to tire~
(09:38:54 ) ~*~Lea - Fallows~*~
Hulneth, GRP ~*~
is at Joe and Nyah's place and says to ALL: ~after a good long while both arms were getting tired.. it was not so easy on Her own... seeing passing bonds and thralls She asked them to take turns and they gladly did forming a shift so their normal chores could get done too~

Lea it was a joke and I am very sure Clarissa would agree with me. I was just teasing the words you had written, if I have offended you then I apologise, it was just a little shot at humour, I sorry you not see it as that.

CHORE 15.....well, starting it, anyway (22:46:16 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP is standing within the stock room surrounded by shelves, boxes and goods and says to ALL: test (22:50:36 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP is standing within the stock room surrounded by shelves, boxes and goods and says to ALL: **Lit by a single oil lamp, I move about the room peeking into various boxes and baskets hoping to find dried reeds or willow-withes for basket weaving. it was a skill I'd picked up in Kassar, a wagon camp not having much need for a seamstress. I mutter a bit, not finding any. I set teh lamp pon a stand, then tiny boots and slim hands are set to teh sturdy shelves and I begin to climb up, agile as a jit-monkey. Jade eyes peer into box after box, basket after basket, to no avail** (22:51:01 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP says to : | tiesah ||::Property: (9tal)) (22:56:15 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP is standing within the stock room surrounded by shelves, boxes and goods and says to ALL: **Copper brows draw together as a frown mars delicate features. With all these baskets here, somebody had to have made them....and goodness knows I had seen enough reeds and twigs on the island to create any number of baskets...so Finally I sigh and give up, jumping down to land with a soft thump on the wooden floor boards. For lack of any better options, i take a narrow, flat basket and hook the handle into My left elbow, then rummage around to find a wickedly-curved sickle (sp?). A sswift check of the edge and I drop it into the basket. next a pair of small goives go in, then I pick up the lamp and head out** (22:59:32 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP is upon the large pebble path and says to ALL: **Out here the three moons cast brilliant light, and besides which I know My way, so I blow out the little lamp and head toward the waterfalls. The edge of the pool has gotten a thick growth of reeds with winter easing off, so gathering a goodly amount will serve two good purposes. As booted feet crunch on smooth gravel, a soft tune hums in slender throat** (23:04:58 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP is standing on the embankment at the fresh water falls and says to ALL: **I hear the water's rush long before twin jades spy the dancing tumbling diamond-sparkled rush of crystal water in all it's unearthly beauty. I stop, mesmerized, to watch it for a time, caught as always by that spectral dance, awed and humbled by nature's breathtaking wonder** (23:08:57 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP is standing on the embankment at the fresh water falls and says to ALL: **In time I move forward, and come to the water's edge. First I tie My skirt up by several horts, then I slip on the leather gloves to protect My fingers frm both cold and sharp edges. The basket is laid near to Me and I take up the sickle. The reeds are thin and flat, almost more of a grass than not. I grasp a thick bunch and tug upwardjust a bit. One swift slice and the sickle's wicked edge parts the tough fibers in a breath. I shake off a few lingering droplets of water, and lay the cut reeds into the basket** (23:14:07 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP is standing on the embankment at the fresh water falls and says to ALL: **Again and again i repeat this process.....grasp, tug, cut, shake, basket.....the little stock growing and growing in the basket. Each time, I cut further and further out till My arms can no longer reach, then I move a few paces and begin again. In the daylight I will return with the means to cut out further, but here at night I stay on shore. In time the basket is full from side to side and end to end, well heaped along the entire surface, and I decide that I have enough to begin weaving some nice baskets. Gloves and sickle are tossed into the basket, and My skirt let down to normal length.** (23:16:38 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP is standing on the embankment at the fresh water falls and says to ALL: **Once more I stop and take a few ehn to watch the crystal moon-sparkled falls. It's so quiet here, only the sound of rushing tumbling water to fill My ears. No snarling sleens, nor boistrous Men, nor kaiila, nor verr, nor bosk. It's almost eerie ina way, and soon I turn and head back down the path** (23:20:41 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP is upon the large pebble path and says to ALL: **As I wander back down the gravel pathway My mind begins to conceive of a series of baskets, all natural colored except for subtly-toned designs woven in. The reeds must be dried first and then soaked for neatest weaving. The dye can be added to the soaking-water for the subtle effect I desire...they will dry to a medium, faded sort of green...blue would harmonize very well and making blue dye is easy enough.** (23:31:25 ) Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP : ~In The wagon of Carinus and Sedim In time I come to Our wagon, and climb the steps to slip inside. It's a bit of a chore to navigate the doorflap and curtain within, but I manage with the skill of long practice. I set the basket down on a large trunk then step out of My boots. I stow My cloak away, then take several empty baskets from a stack and distribute the freshly-cut reeds evenly among them. These are positioned around the wagon's cozy interior to begin drying. It smells very grassy and green in here now, with the fresh reeds and the padding of moss beneath the thick carpets and plush, silky furs. A deep breath is drawn and I smile a little, My mood thoroughly positive on such a beautiful night**

WEAVING A WATERTIGHT REED BASKET
(05:55:19 )
Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP
: ~In The wagon of Carinus and Sedim
**Lit by several small oil lamps, the tiny Woman sits comfortably, her back against a large trunk, legs crossed, and a pile of dried reeds close at hand. In Her slender little digits, a tight coil can be seen, the beginnings of a small, decorative basket of extremely tight weave**
(05:55:37 )
Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP
says to ..sadiqah..property of A: ((tal *S*))
(06:01:25 )
Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP
: ~In The wagon of Carinus and Sedim
A thin sharp awl and a knife for splitting the reeds are Her only tools. the reeds are fresh enough that they do not yet need soaked, being both supple and leathery, a perfect balance for this sort of basket-weaving. She hums softly as She works, an easy little tune. The coil is formed almost like a braided rug, except the core is no braided, and the "stitching" is done with thin strips of colored reed to form a design right into the cloils. She works swiftly, a subtle pattern of darker and lighter greens already beginning to spiral outward from the center**
(06:08:16 )
Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP
: ~In The wagon of Carinus and Sedim
**From time to time She selects new reeds according to the color She needs. The awl pushes the necessary hole in, then the reed is threaded through, then the awl and Her calloused fingers tamp it tight again. This process is repeated over and over as the thick disk grows in size. It's a lot of work to make a single basket, but properly made it will give several decades of use to its' eventual Owner. When the disk is as large as Her lap, She changes the coil's position, and starts weaving the vertical walls of the basket**
(06:23:25 )
Sedim Seamstress Carinus' Woman Guest of Hulneth Island, GRP
: ~In The wagon of Carinus and Sedim
**Darker green and lighter green, the subtle spiral pattern is continued in its' many rays. Time alone will tell how much the colors lighten or darken, but that is not Her concern at the moment. Reed after reed, row after row...adding to the core at need, weaving reed after reed into the design. Even with Her swift little hands progress is slow, measured in horts and Her aching shoulders. This is the first of many baskets, a chore selected since the tiny Woman knows very well that She's no good for the heavier tasks on Nyah's list. In time the basket takes shape, and becomes tall enough to be recognizeable. When the walls are as tall as the base is broad, She finishes the last strands, weaving in the ends to create a flawless and durable finish. She sets the absket aside, and takes a few ehn to stretch**
