Well been working on my first Bliaut  will post picks soon, I have had some time to get working on this becouse of so many snow days we have been having LOL not good on the pay but good for sewing ;)

I'm still here

 Boy I'm lousy at keeping a blog LOL but I still doing things here is a underdress I made working on a over dress next 

 Ok been a while since I last posted  But things have been UP ;) Sewing machine fixed ,garb getting made  I'm now a official Member of the SCA ( got my card Friday), took Daughters 3 and 4 to their first event and they had a blast,   the event was mostly a Archery  and that is what the girls and I love ;)  Got to try several different types of Bows and I must say that the Hungarian Horse bow is my new Fav ..I want one so bad ;)  it has a smooth pull to it and the release is great I feel like I can shoot this type of bow all day and never get tired  I'm serious  I pull a 50 lbs re curve and My arms get tired , But that 50ish lbs Horse bow felt like nothing  I'm going to be doing some serious research   in to  the history about this bow . ok enough about that,  D4 learned about blacksmithing and she made a lantern hook for me ;) and she had lots of fun helping out  D3 competed with me in the shooting I she wants her own Bow now ;)  they got a kick out of the Heavy weapons fighting there was a Lord there that could really get the crowed laughing , and at the end of a long day we were tired and sun burned, full from the most lovey  feast , the girls was given two feast daggers (handmade by blacksmiths )  Agin Thank YOU!!! Milords ;) Learned about Horse bows,Made new friends

 Well it has been a few days and I have now gone tho all my garb, Boy I don't remember having all that  and there was some more mice damage but nothing I can't fix,  I'm thinking of attending a local event here it will be in Sept.  and I'm getting my membership back.  Dear Husband has agreed to help me build some things ;) A few benches and a table will post  pic's as soon as I get them done.  Been watching the BBC 's version of Robin Hood tho not period I like ,The guy playing him is cute ;) Hey !! I can LOOK  I hate to say this I can't wait to go back to work so I can get started on some of these projects, but in the mean time  I'll read and sew

Well today was a hot and sweaty , I went to find my old garb in storage  and after going tho what seemed like a ton of toats I found them all 7 toats  and looks like not to much damage just lost one dress that I can see it was my green velvet over dress :( I like that one too), oh well I'm going to see what I can salvage of it and make the kids something ,I can see I'm going to have fun , Harley as already told me she wants my plaid skirt ,white chamies and waist clincher, She says she wants to look just like Mommy did in my pic's, the scary thing is if her hair was redder she could (shakes head)  now I wonder if any of the garb will still fit ??I know I have gained since I last put this stuff on so after a good washing I'll have to try some on and see, if not that just means new Garb for me Yeppie !!!!! I'm also going to lose weigh I need to lose abut two sizes more I givin up on the pound thing cause muscle is heavier so I'll just go by size  and the start of the summer I was in a 18  now I'm a 16   so I'm doing good I hope by x-mas to be a 14,  So wish me luck

 The other thing I did was find my copy of the Known World Handbook,  I'm going to be doing some serious reading I have been out of it for so long I feel like a newbie ;) and I'll be watching some Scadian type movies with the kids tonight , Don't know what one they will pic ;) but it will be fun
