New Garb

Once its completed, I'll post pictures BUT I made the leap and I am making a new Linen dress.  2 colors  black and green for the barony.  Its almost done,  maybe a few hours more on it.  Based on the Burda 7977 pattern - a nice look here:  http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/patterns/sewingpatterns.pl?patternid=12986

New Garb!!!

This is my new Wool Viking garb.  I adore it.  Its warm.  And its blue.  It was a simple off the cuff pattern from here: http://www.genvieve.net/sca/vikingapron.html

new job....

I was asked a very important question today.  And I said yes.  I will be head retainer for our new Baron and Baroness.....  I just need to make sure things are in order and she's on time... I can do that.  Cake..

its a Hobby....

I need to keep reminding some people that this thing we do is a hobby. For a lot, its more.  But for the rest of us, its a HOBBY.  I get to sew, embroider, paint, throw axes, cook, drink, camp and listen to a lot of "No shit!! I was there!" stories from the field.

I do this because I want to.  When it stops being fun, I don't want to do it.  So with that, I will Serve when I want to, not because I have to.  I will paint when my hand allows.  I will sit and watch the Tournaments and cheer on the Hael.  I will skip an event because the house needs attention. I will learn a new skill and see what I can do with it.   I will not be told what to do.

There are times when you need to step back for a few and let the dust settle.  I am burnt out.  And yet I have a bunch of little projects I would love to be able to sit down  and finish!!!  So I now declare, I will follow in the steps of my Mistress and RELAX!!   She is the wisest bird I know and trust her.  She has taught me to trust myself and its okay to say no.

I started embroidering since calligraphy has been very hard on my hand.
This is something I did in a very short period of time.  not bad.

my little viking

This is my girl. cute as a button and sharp as a tack. She's stuck on a Viking kick which is fine with me. She is comfortable and cute.

made of win

I won!!!!  Dancing Needle held a contest and I won!!    So excited... new patterns from Sublime Stitching and a purple hoop.    can't wait!!!  I love to embroider.. it's one thing that I can do that doesn't really hurt my hand.  I have plans on working on my veil more and when I get my arms passed, my squirrel.  

See... old art forms aren't dead... they are just update!
