This is something I saw online and thought would be fun to do as a fundraiser. I have since discovered ways of doing this much faster than I originally made them!
Today I have made a tiny pin cushion, so maybe I won't lose all those pins any more and find them by stepping on them... :o) What I have u...

Period Head Coverings OR, alternately, What Hat Goes with My Outfit? Part I: Early Period to 12th Century I'm not a "Cover your head!" Nazi, but I do think that it adds to the Medieval-esque feel of an event when more people wear the correct hat. For most of the SCA period, head coverings (head-ware)…
Heraldic Tableware Set With Golden Embroideries
Last year, I participated in the Sable Swap, a kingdom-wide secret gift exchange. You may remember that I made an embroiderer's kit for my assigned giftee. It was easy to decide what to do because, as an embroiderer, I know what I would love to receive. This time, though, I got a gentleman with an

I admit it, I'm a bit of a magpie. I love pretty, shiny things. Jewelry, goldwork embroidery, silk, you name it. Some of my favorite gifts and largesse have been veil pins, which feel my shiny addiction nicely. A local bead store was going out of business recently, and had a ton of items on
Largesse idea for gardeners
I've been wanting to come up with some good things that I can create for largess (for non SCA people this is things that are given as gifts and thank yous) that will be handy, relatively inexpensive and lend to a more historically accurate looking group. I love waxed linen covers because they are all…
I've written in the last entry that Calontir is in a Norse reign, and as a result of that, I got to do some research in bits and pieces for Her Majesty Ylva to give as tokens. As I can't make all of them myself, this entry will serve as a way for those who…
