I ahve been working too much to do any serious crafting tha last two weeks. I made a blank scroll (still need a picture inside the letter, but that will be made when I know what it's for), I finished Måns' cotte today and I've some knitting. But not much that requires thinking, because I am totally exhausted mentally. Especially since my arthritis has decided that now is the time for a flare and ti takes a lot of will power just to keep going. The crafting I have done has been to try to handle the stress.

But I want to make more doll stuff, and I want to live in London, so that I could take Lilly, and dolls that I eventually will buy, and go to see[personal profile] clothsprogs and drink tea and play with our dolls.

I've wanted to live in London (for a while) for many years, but is at least a new reason ;)

New blank scroll:

Blank_Walters Manuscript W.918, fol. 14r


What I am knitting: Plaid 1940s jacket, except that mine is red with grey and petrol blue stripes.

In 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 ;)
