bags are packed, food's in the fridge already packed into a cooler, finishing up my chores to make sure the home runs smoothly while I'm gone.... BATTLEMOOR!! Woot! *wiggle*

The last week have been a string of 'up until midnight's, working on garb (none of mine fit any more ), packing, and cooking for the Queen's tea. Chocolate truffles are done. Lemon flower cakes are done. Cinnamon Date cakes are done. Spiced Nuts are done. Tonight is three types of cookies and a lot ...

This is awesome and inspiring.

I will be there Friday for the party. Saturday for the Queen's Tea (Dominique and I are cooking) by Darbuka. Sunday just for fun. I'll be wearing middle-eastern-ish, and a favor that's a combo of my device and the archive's. (My Device: Azure, a ewer bendwise within an orle argent: m Me: m) I'm stay...

That would be my very conundrum. I am not a mom, and have never made children's clothing - so I have no idea of that relative sizing issue. I don't even have easy access to a infant of the right age - thus my hope for something like, "take Simplicity pattern xyz, and instead of following the pa...

Thank you, all, for the responses! Much appreciated!

Thank you, Charlotte... unfortunately, I am utterly lame at the math and spacial awareness required to draft from measurements.

Thus, my desperate search for a paper pattern.

Zubeydah

I do ok with sewing, IF I have a pattern... But without one, I'm.. well.. lost. Does anyone know of any mundane or period patterns for new-born-infant garb?

I'll be there on Saturday and Sunday

Hanging out with Caer Galen and/or McKillinKay.

Have I mentioned lately, just how much you rock, Donal?

Zubeydah

That is one very sexy rig.

Payment sent! I'm going to print them out in color (with information on where they came from and the source item) and include it as an item in gift basket.

I was poking around on websites, and saw this: http://finds.org.uk/database/search/results/hoard/1/hID/6 I don't make armor, I don't fight in armor, I just think it's pretty and thought it might be inspirational for someone here. It's a cheek piece from The Staffordshire Hoard. -zu

This morning, I have posted the following to my kingdom list. I think thatâ€™s a good idea, but this thread is a daunting 20 pages and has slogged on far beyond the details of the case and into sockpuppets, philosophical discussions/arguments of chivalry, other SCA cases, etc. For the general reade...

The new site on the farm is *wretched.* The last couple of years at Estrella Mtn Park we were really cramped. Canyon Moon Ranch has some definite advantages in terms of space and size. It's just not easy to find a site out here that can accommodate such a big event. Understood and acknowledged that...

I was looking at these, and what kept me from bidding was two things: 1) I don't know what those runes mean. That info in your listing would have been really helpful. 2) they were sold as a set, which put them out of my price range. If they were sold individually, I would have bought one. I don't kn...

I usually make mine out of trigger, though at a specific request, I used the fabrics provided (which didn't really work well and weren't heraldically appropriate). I've also done one out of leather.

I haven't even gotten the final product yet, but would like to compliment Tom on his excellent communication and fast turn around.

Tom, I would like whichever of these (I can't see the measurement detail very well) is the most small and ladylike. Could you PM me with your preferred payment method? I'm also curious to find out what you'd charge to add my device to such a belt-favor... (i.e. one favor bearing both the Archive sym...

At events, it's important that there be an area set aside for Royalty and their landed vassals. This is the centerpiece of the whole layout. Now, if somebody gets set up in this place first, somebody indeed screwed up. There should have been a sign there (at least) saying that the sweet spot had be...

To start painting charters again, and contribute at least one gift basket to a Kingdom level event. All stuff I can do from home, and support my Kingdom, even if I can't make it to events.

I confess the sin of Pride and Bitchiness. Many years ago, our Barony hosted the Queen's Champion tournament. The site was a new one, and I was the Waterbearer in Charge (And also the Northern Regional Waterbearer, AND the Baronial Waterbearer) -- tasks I took very seriously. Upon arrival, I was ins...

Made in 1986-ish, from a Simplicity pattern, with my mom. She did the hard stuff (sleeves), I did the straight seams.

*squee* That's YOUR work?!?! I have slobbered (metaphorically of course) over it many times. It's in my "SCA Scrolls" folder to stare at longingly for inspiration when I've tried doing Middle Eastern style stuff.
