Category: 12th century

A Quick Recap

I’ve been fairly busy lately, but not on any massive projects.

  • The Saltare Dance Collegium was this past weekend, hosted by the Shire of Vulpine Reach. It was pretty well attended, and folks seemed to have a good time. My feet and legs have forgiven me already.
  • I’m working on some new clothes for Pennsic, mostly a comfy 14th century tunic (based on the Herjolfsnes 43 pattern) and wool chausses. I should try to pick up some more appropriate shoes once I get there. I also need to put some mounts on my revised belt.
  • My lovely wife Adela was invited to join the Order of the Laurel (yay!), and I need to work on her scroll. I have people lined up to do most of the work, but I need to get the design and text worked out so they can get started. Hopefully I’ll get that knocked out this weekend. I also need to finish up the gown I’ve been working on so it’ll be ready for her elevation at Coronation in September.
  • I also need to get some 12th century clothes made by Coronation. I think I’ll use the H.43 tunic as the under layer for that and just make another tunic with shorter, wider sleeves to go on top, with some embroidery or something.
