I'm a member of the SCA and I thought it wise to keep track of all things A&S here. So enjoy the works in progress and I hope you find something useful!

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

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.

new projects
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.

Ice Dragon came and went
I don't have much to post on Ice Dragon. I got there late due to a family commitment. Some of my scrolls got given, one was not. A dear friend is now a Lady (hehehehehhehehe) and I ran 3 flights of stairs like 10 times.
Next year, I am not volunteering at all... nothing. I am sitting and enjoying the day. And maybe entering the Pent.
But thats next year. For now, enjoy my scrolls.
