Early Week – We spent the early week packing up and putting away stuff from the displays and sorting out whose was which. 🙂

Anja heard from members of the Starfollower Consort, which is the early music group that she and Loren ran for 14 years in the Three Mountains (Portland) area. One of the members from that time is ill, so she passed on the info to the others and then heard back.

Cookery – Pickles got enjoyed all week, by various people.

Sewing – Tuesday evening Anja got a bunch of linings and backs cut out and during the rest of the week worked on the pouch project, getting another sewn, one started and a ball stuffed. She also found another period pattern book and is working on samples of the patterns. Amy has been working on another cap, but had a catastrophic failure of pattern, so has to re-start.

Herb Bunch – Was just more of what we’ve been doing: rose sugar, harvesting herbs, drying herbs. Just a-workin’ in the garden….

…just like these folks!

This is an illustration from Tacuinum Sanitatis.

Investiture – There are wonderful pix from Investiture but I only saved two, because Seamus is wearing the blackworked shirt under his new outfit by Ayla Roth.

Project Day – Loren got the Hedeby-style frame pulled out. Anja was working on the various sewing projects and then things got side-tracked because the Sunday morning class morphed into a Sunday afternoon class….. but Tempus kept whacking away at the frame.

He got the piece cut into two matched pieces and got a fair amount of sanding done on both.

Anja had to take apart the flat pouch piece that she’s been working on because the lining was off from where it was supposed to be.

Jalida’s ball from the demo got stuffed and is ready for sewing.

…and I’m going to put this in here full size…. “You are reminded of your duties. To protect the innocent, honor the laws and to stand up against the unjust.”

“Esmeralda Lakes A number of people in the shares of my photograph have mentioned the axe in the photo. That is her husband’s axe on her shoulder, thus adding more emotional heft to the image. Here is the link to my original photograph: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=2205287432820307… ”
