Double Eagle
I read a lot of Heinlein novels. Which leads me to say that I will never ever think of a double eagle without thinking of this coin, which was gifted to Maureen by her father on her wedding day. Which doesn’t have anything to do with this post, except that this project features a double-headed eagle. I’d been
Compass Rose Cup Cover
A while back, I got tired of getting leaves and bugs in my cup at SCA events and made myself a cup cover. In the same post, you’ll see that I started one for Nick, too, but I never liked it. The design is good, but the colors and progression I chose for it was,

Card Weaving
Every so often, I feel like trying card weaving again. This was both an exercise in weaving with smaller diameter thread (each “thread” was two strands of embroidery floss) and an excuse to make some trim for a baby tunic for Poppet. Two birds and all that. I used two small lengths of zip-tie to
Embroidery
So, I know I’ve been gone for a couple months. I’m sorry about that. My first trimester was terribly hard on me; it felt like I was hung over for four months. Yes, four. My morning sickness lasted all day and didn’t abate until well into the fourth month, after my doctor prescribed me some
Cup Covers
So, I finished some projects yesterday. Since moving to Austin, we haven’t had a chance to do anything SCA-related. Well, that’s not entirely true. We have been going to the Tuesday night fighter practices, but nobody (except the fighters) dresses up or anything. Next weekend there’s a Land Court, wherein we all dress up and
Shire Favor
I miss my Shire. They’re my people, the ones who first got me into the SCA, and taught me that it could be something more than drunken parties, or stick-jockeying. That there are people for whom the love of history comes first. When Nick and I decided to move to Austin (Barony of Bryn Gwlad,
Finally!
I finished the embroidery on Edmund’s Anglo Saxon Tunic. Finally. I’m very pleased with how well it turned out. Doesn’t that look nice? There are some parts where the blue line is a little lost in the sea of fill stitching, but I think it’s okay on the whole. I finished the neck embroidery and
Anglo-Saxon Tunic
A while ago, I made an Anglo-Saxon-ish tunic for Nick. It’s a relatively easy thing to make, and an easy thing to throw on for a last minute event. The problem I have with most T-tunics is that they look plain and hastily thrown together. So, in an attempt to avoid that, I decided to
