I knew that I had let Dreamwidth fall behind, but I had no idea it was actually over three months. I guess that it will be in bullet form:
* I had a lovely tree day biking holiday in the beinning of July. If you follow me on instagram (https://www.instagram.com/frualeydis/), you have probably seen photos from then.
* family holiday with Rickard and Maja: It was four days rather close to where we live - first we visited hubby's mum, who lives c. 2,5 hours drive from Gothenburg, and stayed in a hotel. The next day we went to Lidköping, which is by the lake Vänern, and stayed in a cabin. We visited friends, and looked at picturesque towns, some castle ruins and churches, and played mini golf. It was nice, but after two days Maja felt that sh ewanted to go home, so we put her on a train. I guess that this might be our last family holiday in this form. Also because next summer Maja is 18, and will probably work most of the summer.
* None of us have got covid, and all except Maja has got her two vaccine shots, Maja will get her 2nd in a few weeks.
* I have started work rehab again, and it went okay, until I got a bad flare in my arthritis. So right now I am on 100 % sick leave. On the positive side I think that my exhaustion is getting better. So now we (my doctor and I) need to figure out how to move forward with this. Th eultiamte goal is to get permanent disability on at least half time. I have tried this before, but my application was rejected, and that process is still a real trauma to me, so this is a big step - and I can't do it without my doctor, she is a life saver.
* Yesterday I did a lens replacement surgery. It seems to have gone really well. Even just one day afterwards I see well at a distance, and I can read and write on the computer, though not for too long.
* I have made 13th century Spanish clothing, see it on my web page.
And I have gotten enthusiastic about my folk costume again. I managed to get the correct hand woven fabric for one of the aprons, and for another variant of the bodice, and made them. This led to more research of rural clothign in the late 18th and early 19th century in my part of Sweden, both by looking in digital collections and by studying probate inventories. Some of this can be seen in my totally remade web page about my folk costume. Since I made that page I have transcribed many, many probate inventories, I now have 105 pages with female clothing from 1750-1812.
I have also been sewing dresses from ca 1795-1805, as well as making a seriously insane straw hat to wear with a muslin gown from c. 1815.
Same white dress with different accessories:

And finally, SCA: Now that physical events are opening up again Måns and I are entering Autumn Crown in the Netherlands the 22-24th of October.
