I just got some of the pictures from Spring Fling.  I like this picture even though I have a big butt.





This is kind of cute since you can sort of see the Big man with his bow..  Looks like he is standing guard.

Awesome weekend!

May. 10th, 2009 | 11:19 am
mood: excitedexcited

It was an very interesting weekend.

Reintroducing Sir Thomas back to the group was great to see that he is smiling again.  It was so funny when I introduced him to Michael & Sorcha as Elvis and they still had no idea who he was.  Then someone ask if they were going to talk to Sir Thomas.  It was so funny when they realize that Elvis was Sir Thoma.  Yippee I don't have to call him Elvis anymore. The man got up at 6 am go drive home and get his archery equipment.  How nuts is that? 

Saturday I was feastocrate which meant that I was in the kitchen almost all day.  As of the afternoon I am now apprentice to Mistress Caere Wythers.  Had all my friends there and Thomas.  Then back to the kitchen. 

We had almost everything ready for feast and they held court.  Onora comes running back into the kitchen to tell me that I have been called into court, me thinking she is playing a joke on me was caught off guard.  I told her that I had to finish the soup.    She said no really they want you in court.   I get to court and they call me up.  OMG they are talking about what I can rattle off the top of my head.  I got my Silver Hammer.  The words were from a dear friend, Seth, which made it all that more special.  However when I turned around and saw everyone behind me I think I said something like, "Oh holy shit."  

It was a wonderful weekend, I got to spend it with a special friend who, is coming back to the group, I was apprentice, I got my GOA and the feast was wonderful.

Wish you all could have been there we got photos but the video died.

A friend

mood: contentcontent

I just got back from spending a couple hours with a friend I had not seen in 20 years.  It feels as if it has only been mo0nths. Except for we both have added the girth.  It is noce to see that he still has the sense of humor and that we both still have a lot of the same ideas.  I just hope that he can find a job soon, he is getting frustrated and bored.  It was a good talk and I think I cheered him up some what.  I am to call him Monday so lets hope that it worked.  I missed him and did not know how much until I saw him.  The last time I saw hime was before my life went to crap.  My life is better now & I much happier.  I just hope that I can be there for him.

Wela he says hi, And yes I guessed what he did in court.  The man can be predictable if you know him.  I hope to get him out to see people as he needs too.

Meeting Of Viking Minds

Mar. 15th, 2009 | 06:31 pm
mood: contentcontent

Well I made it through the weekend and everyone was civil to each other.  It seems that everyone is on the same page but they didn't think so until they sat down and talked.  Some days I wonder why.

Now on to trying to recruit more Vikings.  Just thoughts:

BBQ @ Sam's for anyone interested in Viking Living History
Second weekend of the Platte River Viking Boat ride have some help rowing and some come to the encampment.

Get people seeing and handling what we do and how we do it to get them interested.


Don't stay in the long house when the temperature is going to be below 30 at night until you have proper bedding & someone to tend the fire every 1 1/2 hours.

Learned we need to teach Eddie how to butcher a deer.  Cutting the legs off and bagging them & freeze does not help when trying to thaw & cook it for only a few people. Love Eddie.


Anyone one think of any other way to get people interested?  Am I insane for all of this?

Found Old friend

Mar. 9th, 2009 | 07:53 pm
mood: gratefulgrateful

All this Jubilee reminiscing has got me searching.  Yes I went on the hunt.  I did find someone from my past.  I was so afraid to call him and ask how he was doing.  I finally the Thursday before Jubilee I broke down and called.  I wish I had call sooner because it would have been a nice surprise for a lot of people.  It was like it was 19 years ago.  He always knew how to make me smile even if I really didn't.  I felt bad for not calling sooner.  Some of you may know my friend.  He was the First Baron of Lonely Tower.  I was always there as a friend when he took the Title of Baron, when he was Knighted, when he took 2 squires ( I made the belts), When he stepped down as Baron and then when he moved away.  I soon as well.  We are going to stay in touch and talk now.

I guess what I am trying to say is don't be afraid to reach out.  They may need someone to talk to too.  The light may come on.

Anyone have a good idea of what I should wear?? No I already know I should wear clothes but which ones, When did I become  a clothes horse.  I have way to many outfits now.  I need to pick out something really nice.  Super nice.  OMG I need to not be so hyper.  I wish the weekend would just get here. 

Should I wear blue, green, brown or what?  Should I wear teh 10th century Dane or 10th C Hiberno Norse, or many the anglo saxon.  Can anyone tell I am scattered.

Who all is going this weekend.

OMG! Spring is Almost Here

Now is the time to Panic Right?

 

Nyr Heida is having a gathering at the Longhouse on March 14th.   It is suppose to be open to anyone who wants to come see what they crazy people do. The guys are suppose to have a training session to warm up after the winter. I would love to see those who don’t fight get together and share what they have been doing. Its only Feb and I have been put in charge of the group as of Jan 1 and I already have a headache. I love the group but getting them moving sometimes takes a cattle prod.

Now for something different

Jan. 28th, 2009 | 08:23 pm
mood: excitedexcited

This has got to be the most insane project that I have taken  on since I made the Elizabeth back in the 80's and put beads on it.

I am working on a His & Her's 10th century High Class Kiev Rus. Since this is going to be so elaborate I am making the hers for me.  I have ordered 10,000 pearls,  50 amber & 50 carnelians (sp?).  The boots are going to be the hardest part but Tatjaina is going to help me since she made hers.  However all those years ago when Trim guy made his red boots I laughed at him.  Now I will eat words.  the boots are red with gold trim.  I am currently looking for the red silk & blue silk but there are 2 more gowns under that so I am not sure if I want to do the wool second layer or not.  What do you guys think?.  Besides that I am crazy.

Here is the sketch.  There are more pearls then what the sketch shows.
