What is going on here?  Well, not much in the way of new research, but I am plodding along on projects, which is always a good thing.  Pulled a muscle in my chest Saturday, which has slowed me down, but should be up to speed again next week.

I have been hanging in MD for the past few weeks just to keep my kitty near his doctors while he adjusts to the new insulin.  It is a rocky road, I will not lie, but today he is looking good and has gained some weight so I have hope.  Needing to kill time while here (because I prefer to spend as little time in MD as possible, lol) I opted to go to Atlantia's Kingdom Archery competition this past weekend.  Spent an absolutely lovely afternoon with my Laurel, talking all sorts of A&S and general SCA stuff.  She introduced me to some very nice people, and quite a few newcomers (and I got to show them how spinning yarn works).  I love hearing how talk about how she handles the newcomers in her area (and she does a ton of work to make sure they acclimate well and enjoy themselves), but I also am getting a better idea (to some extent) of what the "job description" of being a Laurel really entails.  She definitely sets a fine example in that department.

I  also got to spend some time with Lady Amie Sparrow who does a marvelous job with German Peasant garb.  She is very talented and will be published in the next issue of the Complete Anachronist.  I highly recommend getting a copy when it comes out!  You can check out some of her work on her website now as well:  https://amiesparrow.wordpress.com/16th-century-england/black-apron/

Amie also kindly took a photo of me wearing the Dublin scarf that I wove.  Even in wool it was quite comfortable even on the hot, sticky day.

With luck I will be attending Highland River Melees this weekend and then (finally) back to WV the following week.  Still crossing my fingers that I can make it to Lake Augusta Renaissance Festival Event & Demo later this month as well in AEthelmearc.  So while I am not having the spring/summer that I had planned to have, the fact that I get to make it to additional events is actually a nice silver lining :-)
