After the devastating morning where I had to bury my favorite cat, Gandalf, I’m in debt to my Baronial Army for allowing me some martial therapy Sunday afternoon.
I’m so proud of them. We really were fighting by about 1:15, and everyone was warmed up and ready to go by the time 2:00 rolled around. We [...]
ISBN.nu: Find the best price for books online.
This site is *fabulous*. I got sent to this from a random article, and just as a test, typed in a book I had been looking for for *years* (Margaret Scott’s The History of Dress: Late Gothic Europe, 1400-1500) and never found for a price I was willing [...]
1. Coral beads found at Pennsic while looking for paternoster beads.
2. Random red silk thread.
3. Leftover dress hook and eye.
4. Lots of knots. (Yes, between every bead.)
5. As seen, sort of, in certain Tacuinum Sanitatis images – at least that’s what I was thinking about when I bought the beads, though they’re a little small.
Isn’t [...]
Hello All,
I’m very proud of my web staff today, as over that rainy weekend they were able to push out a brand new website for the Barony. Go take a look: windmastershill.org.
You’ll spot the brand new Baronage Blog, which Guenievre and I will use to communicate with the rest of the populace, as well as [...]
So according to the calendar, we need to get certain bits of the garden ready to plant soon. At least that’s what the seed packet says.
Anyway, the rain interfered with getting the garden started today. We began flattening out the area where it’s going to be, but moving wet clay sucks hairy… Err, yeah.
I’m [...]
I noticed a common tactic among the knights at Ice Castles the other week, and a lot of the newer fighters fell for it. Most of the knights I saw know how to do this to people, and very few people seem to know how to stop it.
Let’s say the situation comes down to 2 [...]
So, a week has passed since the marathon sprint that was Ymir garb. Maestra Maddalena says I should promise never to do anything quite that rushed again, and I almost do, but since I have rather strong feelings about promises and whether I can keep them, I’m not quite willing to do so. Still, I [...]
I still don’t have a post on Ymir in general written up… nor a dress diary on the Investiture Houppelandes… but before I misplace all the notes, I did want to write a little about the Oath of Fealty given by Girard and I during our Investiture, as a couple people commented on it (one [...]
Well, really it wasn’t that long. In fact, I wish it had been longer, as I didn’t get as much done as I planned, but enough thinking about that.
As I was blockaded in my sewing room for much of the weekend, I listened to a lot more music than usual. And as a confession? My [...]
Hopefully this will be the first in a series of fighting reports, detailing my adventures in armor. If you were there and saw something, or if I mention fighting you, in one of these reports; feel free to chime in and correct any thing I say here. If you have questions like, “how did you [...]
