Last fall a camera crew from the local PBS station came to an event in the Barony-Marche of the Debatable Lands to film a story about the SCA. The resulting story is now available online at WQED's website.

It's pretty good as such things go. Kudos to our Baron and Baroness, and AEthelmearc's Queen, for being articulate and impressive interview subjects.

I had a great time this weekend. I went to Raito & AEsa's Coronation in Bemidji with Little John on Friday night. While the traffic going through the Twin Cities on Friday evening sucked, we still made decent time (left Rochester at 5:30 and got to the hotel in Bemidji at 11:30ish). It was wonderful to have time to chat with Merideth who we shared the hotel with. OK...not much time since it was so late when we got in, but we still had a good talk.

Saturday, we woke up to 100% humidity and 60ish degrees. Not the most ideal weather, but the light drizzle was much better than a storm or similar worse weather. The outside events (fighting & merchants) were a bit damp, but I didn't see it put a damper on the festivities. I had some nice conversations with a couple locals which was fun. The event itself was amazing. The site was beautiful, and the decorations the new local group did were outstanding!! I also was really impressed by all the people who were in Japanese garb as requested by TRHs. One of the best events I've been to in a long time.

John had to work Sunday morning, so we hightailed it out of town after dinner. (By the way, the Super Buffet is awesome!!) While we missed the turn for the highway we took into Bemidji, we took 169 south and the drive was rather nice! It didn't take any longer than the Interstate, and it was exactly the same milage as well. Nice surprise that. And NO traffic! Bonus!

Sunday I got to sleep in a bit and then helped the hubby with the deck. Good feeling of accomplishment there. The deck is about 8 feet short of being completely railed in. Hopefully we'll be able to finish it off tomorrow evening. We got rained out last night, so we headed off to get Shannon a suit and other clothes from Kohl's. Good sales going on right now. :)

The entire weekend was capped off by a massage this morning at MSB. It was very nice, but not the deep tissue I prefer. Good and relaxing all the same!

7:00 - Dog got me up to let him out. Not the best way to wake up, but not unexpected.

7:05 - Fell back asleep

9:30 - Hubby called and woke me up. Love him! After that phone call, started reading Blood of Flowers by Alica Amirrezvani. It's very good and evokative about a young lady growing up in Safavid Persia. Once I finish it, I'll write a proper review.

11:00 - Got a call from spot1111 to see when I was coming over to make cord.

12:00 - Arrived at Sorcha's with fried chicked for lunch. YUM! After eating, we got down to business. We made lots and lots of cording to use for button loops and trim in the Griffin's Needle Challenge next week.

During the day, I think we probably made 40+ yards of cording with her rope maker. Love it!! I may have to find one all for myself. It's a great way to make a cord and much quicker than fingerloop braiding. My big toe thanks her greatly for saving it from getting the blood cut off to it from fingerlooping. :)

7:30 - Came home and just beat the hubby home. He was in Wausau for work since Friday. Good to see him and try and find something worth watching on TV for the evening. But Strawberry Daiquiris help with that. hehe

Just a quick update on things.

• I've gone to an event every weekend for the last 3 weeks, & while it's been a bit tiring, I'm feeling like I am at loose ends this weekend without an event. I just can't quite figure that out. LOL My next event is WW on 7/10-12. And that's my only event in July! What will I do with myself?
  
• I'm working on an embroidered bookbinding. I'll get pictures posted of my prep work with this. I am almost ready to put this on my brand-new embroidery rack - looking forward to actaully getting needle and thread on this!
  
• I'm also working on some new garb - Persian this time. I'm almost ready to grab my fabric and start making cuts. WooHoo! Just need to sit down and work on it!
  
• I volunteered to make a banner for Artisan's Row at WW for those of us participating in the A&S 50 Challenge. It'd be nice to have something advertising our presence there and be a good place for people to gather and talk about their projects. So I'll be painting very soon!
  
• Work is going very well, although I am not as busy at this juncture than I expected to be. I have quite a bit done with creating pathfinders/resource guides.
  
• I've been attending Silfren Mere's fighter practices for a while and am really enjoying the fighting I'm seeing this season. Last night was especially cool since we had a newcomer armor up for the first time. Bob (the newcomer) did really well for his first time out in armor that was WAY too big for him, and his wife, Steph, was very nice to talk to as well. Little John will be helping Bob make some armor for himself and it'll be cool to see that taking shape.
  
• Karel's new helm is SO PRETTY!! It's a Gothic German helm and it is so spiffy. John, Damiano, Matsasugu and Lyulf all took turns scuffing it up a bit so it didn't look quite as new when he took it off as it did whe he put it on.

OK...I know I'm nuts, but I have just taken on another series of projects from myself for the A&S 50 Challenge. I have already committed to entering 50 A&S projects into 50 A&S displays or competitions. Now I've been inspired to create 50 items that promote heraldic display. I got the idea from the A&S 50 email list. The good gentle who suggested this on the list includes everything from bedding to banners and clothes. It should be very interesting to take on...and it should also help me with a class on Heraldic Display that I'm preparing for NS's Heraldic Symposium with Reinholdt this Fall.

I am counting the embroidered bookbinding in with this challenge, but I think I'll work on a couple banners for my first couple projects. I know how easy these can be to knock out.

This is the last thing I expected! Is this a good thing or a bad thing? We'll just have to wait and see. :)

This is too pretty of a scroll not to share! :)
