Studio Day - What to do??? What to do???

So today is my studio day.  I have enamels calling out to me to be used, a sketchbook that is screaming at me to get some work done in it, my cloak pins to finish the final template for, the cloak itself (I don't like the embroidery that I've done on it thus far and think I'll rip it out, wash the cloak, and start again) and I still have a den full of books and papers from "the flood" of my broken plumbing pipe several weeks ago.  I guess I won't be bored.  I am grateful that I finally finished the story I was reading at 5:30am this morning.  Every spare minute I had was spent trying to finish it.  And now that I have, I have a bit more time and a bit less perched on my brain to get done.  That's at least a relief. 

Some possible embroidery elements.  Maybe...

So what to do?  I do think that I will work on the cloak template and tear out my embroidery and wash my cloak to eliminate the designwork.  I can reapply it later, but I'll dump it for now because it's not 100% what I want.  The cloaks that I was looking at at Fest over the weekend used a separately applied front plaquet to stabilize the front edge and I'm tempted to do that.  I'm sure that they do it because it adds stability and also adds strength for any fasteners.  Since I am planning on using cloak pins for that purpose, a plaquet may not be my best solution.  I'll have to play with this today because we are getting into the last few weeks of Ren Faire and I know at least one of those days will be cold.  I plan on wearing my new cloak for that day and I have to get myself in gear to have it completed on time.  We'll see how much I actually end up able to accomplish, after all, it is only a single day.
