I am an amateur seamstress, an embroiderer, painter, and student of all things textile and Viking Age history related. I am in the SCA, and when I'm not sewing I'm engaging in my other interest, Armored Combat.

Wow, I haven't updated my journal since November.  I suppose that means it's time for an update.  

As is evidenced by my Gallery, I have been rather busy in the last several months, and I suspect that in the future I shall have as much to post.  

Right now, my current project is applique of Celtic Knotwork Gryphons (which look more like dragons) on a tunic, for fighting.  I would like to have it done by June 22nd, which is a fairly important event for me.  The gryphons in question are the same as the one on my banner in my profile picture, and the ones I painted on Walkyrie.  When the tunic is finished, I will post pictures, of course.

Next up, after that, My lord Pol wants me to make him another shirt, this one in white Silk Dupioni that he happens to have.  I just realized I don't have a picture of the red silk shirt I made him... I should remedy that.

Tablet weaving is also in my future, as I have to make at least two Squire's belts.  They will be all red, and if I can figure out how, I will try to work the Ram's Head design into it, merely with the directions of the thread through the cards.  Here's hoping it works.

And, at some point, I have to make myself a pair of socks.  I have a pair started... and they need to be finished.  My lord made me a pair of Iron Age sandals, and I really should have a nice pair of Naalbound socks to go with them.  

And of course, more garb for myself is always required.  I have a room full of fabric, I should do something with it!  

Also, I have a commission that needs to be done before the beginning of August, of a Naalbound hat and pair of socks.  I have plenty of time for that, though, I can worry about that later.  

Thank you to everyone who has commented and favorited my deviations.  Your support means a lot to me.
