Current resident of Arn Hold in the Kingdom of Artemisia. Love fiber arts, making garb, doing service, and chasing my kiddo.
Missed An Tir West War last week after an attack of real life. Luckily, the company was excellent.

The gift of this game is the way it allows us to chase our joy. Last night I dreamed about a dress I'm planning to make, and I get to make it a reality. ✨

I get so much joy from watching our make believe dress up game touch the hearts of so many and call us to be better. Full heart after a lovely coronation in Artemisia and being with friends who look after each other. Let's have more of that. Travel pic for visual interest.

Had a lovely time at the event on Saturday, did the hard things that needed to be done, saw and caught up with friends, and did my best to build joy whenever I could. Thank you, Artemisia.

SCA friends, how do you revive your love of the game when bad actors suck away all the fun? Feeling irritated at a rash of people using their power in selfish thoughtless ways. I'll be eventing this weekend and it shouldn't feel like a chore.

Looking forward to Solstice in the Barony of Loch Salann this weekend, which should include a visit from a certain man in a red suit, as well as a cribbage tournament 🥰

So. Might be worth keeping an eye on that "following" section. I found and followed a few starter packs when I first created this account, specifically for real life and SCA chatter, and let's just say I'm finding some surprising folks I didn't know I was following who post very different content. 😅

Well that explains a lot.
Also don’t cry in your glasses. Tears can strip the coating.
Will never forget the optometrist in 2020 looking at my glasses with janky coating and saying flatly, “you cry in these, don’t you.”

Me: why is my vision weird and my head hurting, oh no, is it a migraine? Is it some neurological problem?
*takes off glasses*
Oh. They’re filthy.
PSA: clean your glasses if you haven’t in a while.

Just finished our monthly populace meeting and group lunch. Lovely to be around my peeps, but a good reminder of how much there is to do in the next 9 months before I step down 💜

My kid woke up at 8:30 this morning and asked me if it was time to eat the turkey yet 😂
Luckily she's a good sous chef and we should have a fun day of cooking together ahead.

Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate. May your Turkey be juicy and your pies be sweet, don’t forget the farm workers who made the bounty on your table possible, or the indigenous people who tried to teach the whyte immigrants how to share when you give thanks.

Planning session tomorrow for events to give out at our next event. Getting to recognize people who deserve it is my favorite part of this gig.

Lovely to see the SCA presence growing here. If y'all have recommended starter packs, block lists, labelers, etc to enhance the modern middle age experience here please share!

How exciting was my weekend? Discovered an eczema trigger I didn't know about and got on antibiotics for my sinus infection. My life is so glamorous.
