December: To Make Leather Toys

Notes:
Prefer to do production in groups.
IE, Cut Dowels, Cut Falls, Roll and Staple, Glue Caps, Cut Lacing, Fit Corsets
Instead of finishing ONE toy on a certain day.  Each set requires different setup to complete, and so it is much easier to cut falls for 5 toys on one day than to cut falls + roll and staple for 2 toys on one day.

Before beginning, cut dowels

Thank you

I was emotionally and social useless today. I had trouble functioning yesterday, I couldn't make decisions or focus on basic tasks long enough to complete them, and it was getting worse. So I asked for your help. I asked for you to take control, I said that I didn't want to try and decide what was important, I needed you to tell me what to do, and when to do it. I didn't want to attempt to do things alone without a higher focus. Basically, the knowledge that someone had told me to do it and was waiting on me. I asked for you to help me today, because I didn't know how bad it was going to be. 

I had the presence of mind to make a to do list this morning, and that went well and you helped me check off all the things I needed to do, even my makeup. 

When we got to the event I was overwhelmed by how many vendors were stuffed into such a small meeting room. I was overwhelmed socially by how many people were there, before any customers showed up. I felt like I was drowning on air, like I couldn't get a breath. I was sweating. You told me to set up, and after about 30 seconds I had forgotten what I was supposed to be doing. You were patient and reminded me to set up my booth until I had it finished. 

You drew me into normal when you were chatting with Ben, and making coffee gave me a chance to go out of the claustrophobia room and catch my breath. 

You told me to hush at all the right times, especially when I didn't see it coming that I was starting to babble on about something because I was freaking out. You calmed me in a room full of people. 

You gave me pain, but not enough to make me cry. Just what I needed, and helped me wake up from the numb feeling. 

I had to run to the bathroom to hide, it was the only quiet place I knew. You sent someone to check on me, and I love you for it. I was crying and I couldn't hide it from you on the phone, but you were the only one who knew, and you kept me safe from being embarrassed. 

You confronted and resolved the issue. You handled it well and professionally and I needed to be in hush then. You understood everything I needed and you kept me ok. You made a horrible emotional day into a good day, a great day. 

I was struggling to be ok, and now I look back on today and don't have any bad feelings about it. It was a "bad day" in terms of how capable I was of handling it emotionally and socially, but it was a great day when I look back at it. You were there for me every time I needed you. I didn't say anything to cause a scene, draw attention to myself in a bad or pitiable way, and as far as I know, no one but you realized how hard it was or the extent of how much trouble I was having. 

You made me normal. You completed me in a way I didn't think was possible.  You reached me in the pit of the sad alone feeling. 

You turned a bad day into a memory I will treasure. 

Thank you for being there and taking care of me. Thank you for owning all of me. 

I love you! 

Questions about stuff

What size is the vending table/booth/area?
Will the actual table be provided, do I need to bring my own?
Is the vending space separate from the dungeon and/or show area?
Does the vending pass also give show access? (Are the 6 tickets for 6 people other than vendors, or is it 2 vendor tickets, 4 extra people tickets?)
What is the -NORMAL- vendor fee and what does it include?
VIP vendor sponsorship, so we provide the logo and you guys PRINT a banner for us, or do you just mean there is -space- for a banner if we bring one?
What is the registration date? when does the money need to be received?

(Are you sure it was OUR shop you liked and not holowhips?)

When does vendor set-up begin and what time is vendor breakdown?
Is this a one-day event? What time does the event start/end?

Please send a copy of the vendor application so I can look it over.

What is the lighting like? Do we need to bring lighting/are outlets available?

COLLIER’S POWERFUL WELSH CHEDDAR
By cheesemongerJuly 24, 2011

Vegetarian-Suitable – Made using a microbial rennet

In Wales, the coal miners were called “Colliers”; a sturdy group of men who worked the mines in semi-darkness and hard conditions. Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar is named after these brave men who daily risked their lives and considered cheese a staple of their diet; particularly their midday meal which was eaten inside the mines.

The Lady and I are big fans of cheddar; you might say we have never met a cheddar we didn’t like. In fact, many of them we fall in love with and take them home to meet The Man.

One of those cheddars is Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar… some might think that a cheesemaker has big cojones to put “powerful” on the package… but when you can back it up with the goods, then I say, “If you got it; it’s time to flaunt it”.

This is one of those great, sharp cheddars; so “powerful” it’ll “take the back of your head off”, to quote, Gavin, a poker buddy of The Lady and a life-long friend of The Man. Gavin only used this term to describe food he loved and the stronger and bolder the cheese, the more he loved it.

Collier’s is made with pasteurized cow milk from local farms; using the same recipe and aged in Denbighshire for up to sixteen months. This cheese is crumbly, nutty, slightly sweet and toasty. It melts in your mouth and lingers for a long, satisfying finish. It’s robust enough to get you through a long shift in the coal mines… or the cheese mines…

You’re gonna love this cheese…

I give Collier’s Powerful Welsh Cheddar 4 Paws out of 4 Paws (cause that’s all I’ve got).

Serving Suggestions: A cheese board is a perfect place to showcase this cheese. With salami and crackers, you’ve got a meal that satisfies even the most discriminating cheese nerd.

Wine Pairing: You need a powerful cabernet to stand-up to this powerful cheese.

Beer Pairing: IPA

COLLIER’S POWERFUL WELSH CHEDDAR
Wine: Cabernet

Parmesan
Wine: White

Manchego:
This Spanish cheese is rich and buttery, becoming sweeter with age. It pairs well with another export of Spain, Tempranillo, with its lively red fruits and noted dryness. Cabernet Sauvignon: A firm Spanish cheese, Manchego features a delightful crisscross pattern on the rind that makes it a lovely cheeseboard offering.

Roquefort:
A great Roquefort cheese wine pairing requires a bold, medium-bodied variety like Sauternes, red Bordeaux, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Roquefort is known as one of the world's finest blue cheeses, and works with a variety of wines and side dishes.

Chaumes:
Chardonnay: A light California Chardonnay with minimal oak tones will draw out the subtle nuttiness of a supple Chaume cheese for a well-balanced pairing

Goat Cheese:
The classic wine pairing for goat cheese is Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc. There is certainly a lot of reason for this. Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre in the upper Loire Valley is traditionally very clean, acid, and fruity

Provolone

Fontina

Asiago:
Asiago Cheese, like many Italian cheeses is fairly universal when it comes to wine pairing. It is more commonly paired with reds such as Beaujolais, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Syrah, and of course its countryman Chianti.
