Long time, no LJ
Oct. 25th, 2015 08:52 amIn September I got this really bad cold, which lasted for four weeks, when all I could do was to try to hang on to my teaching. Then my arthritis got really bad and all I could do was basically to survive the pain. Now I am back on the meds that game me the holes in my stomach and duodenum :( I'm eating medication aganst ulcers and we're hoping for the best. But I just couldn't continue, the way it was, it was impossible to sit in front of the computer and thus also to work.
I have been updating my costuming blog some, but mostly I've been either taking walks or sitting on the couch, hand sewing. Or by the table making scrolls, since I have gotten a new obsession apparently.
My costuming efforts can be found in the aforementioned blog:
A red wams/doublet and hat, worn with a kirtle based on one of the patterns in Drei Schnittbücher.
A wams/doublet and skirt based on a pattern in the same book. Plus a bodice to be worn under the wams.
A gardecorps for Maja.
Maja and I wore some of our new garments at an event last weekend.

The there was the scrolls - som of them are older, but I don't think that I have shown them before. I also have some that are secret still.
My very first attempt at illumination:

( More scrolls )
Today Alfhild, who's head of Nordmark's scribes is coming over to pick up a scroll and hang out. I can't decide if I'm going to prepare some sewing or if I'm going to knit on my silk Eleonora stockings, or if I'm going to start on another scroll ;)
