General stuff
Hi Folks, long time no post.
here we go....
Got the prize scrolls done for Northern Lights. And I'm now taking a break from scribal for a week. After that break, I'm doing a Terpsichore, which should be fun.

During the break, I'm working on a blackwork smock. I'm almost done with the collar, and getting started on the cuffs. After that, it's on to the embroidered neck opening, and then assembly. Woot! (I'm getting a new linen smock, wooo hooo!)

After the Terpsichore is done. it's time to start on a prototype doublet, prepping for the blackwork white silk doublet that matches this guy (It's the first blackwork doublet I've seen on a man, and I want it.)I won't duplicate his jerkin, (I think it's leather) but I will be making a black jerkin, probably Janet Arnold's strapwork embroidered one.And that's about it for the updates here.

Is that Sir Walter Raleigh?

He's actually Sir Henry Lee But Raleigh does have some nice outfits.

Thanks for the clarification. He looks like my cousin Daryl. LOL

Put Sir Henry Lee in a Van Halen tour shirt from 1983 and that's my cousin.

Your NL scrolls were *lovely*, and I enjoyed seeing them in person! (Missed not seeing YOU though! Pout.)

Your projects sound very involved - I can't wait to see you in your new finery!

The projects should be fun, I'm hoping to have them all done for GNEW.

Sorry I couldn't make NL, but the travel time would have been just too much for me.

We won't be able to make GNEW this year, unfortunately; we're figuring it will be too late in the pregnancy to drive that far and camp that long!

As far as too much travel distance, I understand completely - as much as I'd love to geek out on string at Hrim Schola next weekend, I just can't justify 9 hours of driving!

I will point out there is always crash space for you near Concordia/Glen Linn.

The food is pretty good, too.

Don't forget to schedule in breathing and eating during your break! Looking foreward to seeing you on Sunday.
