I purchased a new loom at Melon Wars. I decided to start with something simple. I have had a few hinches, but I am learning from them. This will be a drawstring for a pair of pants as it is very narrow.
I also bought belts and hoods for the kids. I will take pictures of them in their new finery. Alex looked very nice in the gown I refurbished from one of mine. I purchased new cloth for pants for the boys.
I also had the opportunity to speak to a herald about submitting my name and working on a device. I have been Ysmeine de Dunewic for a decade now. It is time to make it official.

We have not gone to an event in nearly two years. Not since we broke down on our way to Lillies War. Finally, at long last, we are going to an event this weekend. While, sorting throuh our garb, I noted that the children have grown and will be in need of new garb. We did find a few things that would work; a few hand me downs for Alexandra. Daniel will need new trews. I decided to make initials for Danny and Charles as well. These are all more modern, but I like them and the spirit fits here. I do plan to do more research, so that I can make something more accurate, perhaps practice a few drawings as well. To celebrate the birth of the Christ Child, my family made candied orange peel as a sweet. The candied bits were quite potent, so we mixed some into a sweet dough to bake into biscuits. A similar gown to what I was found at Castle Garden Creations , something similar to the Lady Katherine gown. Research is still required to create an authentic looking gown. Ah, my first post. If only I can bring to fruition what every blogger desires. To share my thoughts, trials, and triumphs in an entertaining fashion. All this and stay true to my persona. My first topic will cover garb as I recently purchased some salmon colored brocade, and some rust and ivory wool, rust and navy corduroy. A friend mentioned that the brocade resembles hops, so I am considering a German gown for Oktoberfest. Yes, October is all but over, however it is never to early to start for next year. I am still trying to determine what to create out of the others. |
