Activities through 3-31-19

Illness isn’t something that is any respecter of what we need to get done and this week really proved it. 1/2 the House was down with something or another, Anja being the one (being your scribe) that took the most toll, but several other projects got badly disrupted and most of the meetings did, too.

Hopefully, this coming week will see things back to normal, although there’s a possibility that Anja and Loren are going to head out on a rock-collecting trip next weekend, stopping over at the All Fool’s Revel in Corvaria.

Early Week – Anja seemed to be coming down with something, so she took her embroidery and went to bed. Gudrun is sick, too. It’s that time of year.

Cookery – Clams!

Sewing – Anja being sick during the early part of the week means that she did a lot of embroidery, and a little bit of hand-sewing. These were first thing on Sunday.

Herb Bunch – Nothing this week….. Anja was still down with whatever-it-was.

Project Day – We started the day by talking over some of the on-going projects, trying to kick ’em another bit down the road. A couple of pin-holders got their pincushions and straps. Now we just have to figure out how to do the finishing. Just wood-butter? Varnish? Paint?

Anja did a little on a piece of beading that’s been hanging fire for awhile and then went down with a migraine. Loren spent the rest of the afternoon on filing copper pieces.

Tied…wait….that’s not where the knot goes!

Ready to glue in. The cushion covers the knot.

New duds! (by Adam Blawat, used with permission) 7/29/18

On March 26., 1348, Charles Iv took place. And the leading hosts to the ceremonial lay of the basic stone of the new city of The City was supposed to decompose on a surface of more than 3,6 square kilometres. Charles IV. He left Prague in the new city,. Three big marketplace: Horse market – today’s wenceslas square, cattle market – today’s karlovo square and the hay market – today’s senovazne square. In the bottom, it starts with the gate and ends with a horse, whose name is identical to the whole area. At this time, horses were sold here, therefore horse market and horse gate. The Square is long about 750 m and wide 60 m. There’s a lot of assumptions about why that looks like. Jadna, for example, is looking for causes in the collector’s passion He wanted to build three types of square usual in his time. The horse market is supposed to represent a way of building cities common in Bavaria. Other times, the reason for the yvláštního shape of the square is accounted defense reasons – karel He just stretched wide communication between staroměstským and novoměstským fortification. Another hypothesis is based on medieval recipes of urban construction, joining antiquity, Christian symbolism or medieval mysticism.
