Medieval University

Remember my basket making post? I said I had to teach some friends how to make the baskets, also? That was this weekend. On Saturday, one of our Medieval groups had a Medieval University. It was basically a day full of classes to share the various Medieval arts and crafts we knew. I taught basket making to three lovely ladies, unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. I did bring the camera to the class. I even dropped it in the basket water. Luckily I fished it out in time, and all was well. I do have pictures from the day, just none from the class.

At the beginning of the day, Doug took the girls outside to play in the playground. The site we were at was a church with a preschool, and they had a wonderful playground. It was just right for our girls. They loved that they were able to play on the whole thing without needing help from Daddy. There were a few slides, and much sliding fun!

There was also a little house to play in, and to peer out from.

Feeling Better

I am finally starting to feel healthy again. Just the last remaining bits of congestion, but other then that, I am feeling good. I am also finally getting out of my funk.

Now that I am feeling better, these past two days have been very productive. I got a good bit of cleaning done. I went through some piles of paper that needed to be dealt with; and I even organized the foot tall stack of paper that needs to be scanned into categories (phone, car, medical and so on) so I can start scanning them in an organized fashion!

I came up with a plan and put it in motion to get my recipes in order. Every week I make a menu, and enter the recipes in a great recipe organizer on the internet, where I can also put my menu on a calendar. I did do that for this week, and even printed out the recipes onto index cards and put tabs in my index card box to keep them organized. I figure if I do this every week, eventually all my recipes will be in order. On the website, I can rate the recipes, and put tags on them, so that will help with picking out menus in the future. I still want the printed out index cards, so I don’t have to take the laptop into my tiny kitchen. I’m very excited about this, because I have so many magazines laying about with recipes I want to try, and a many, many bookmarked web pages with recipes, also. Maybe I’m just silly that way, but

Medieval

I have been in a bit of a funk for the past few days. It seems to be going around blogland. Maybe it’s the weather. No snow to play in, but not warm enough to go play in the park. Short days are a bummer, I like the sunlight. Anyway, I will stop passing my funk on to you, but this post will probably just be a lot of pics and few words.

Last weekend we went to one of our medieval events. We are involved with two medieval groups, a smaller group called the MSR that is in and around the NYC/Long Island area, and a larger group called the SCA that is all over the country and in a few other countries as well. So this event was for the coronation of our new King and Queen in the MSR, both of whom I am very fond of. Here are a few *bad* snaps of them. Sorry, still getting used to the new camera, and

Trick or Treat!

Just a quick post for now, to show off my Halloween Medieval Princesses.

Look at the cute little shoes! We cheated. We do medieval recreations as a hobby, so I made the dresses for the girls for an event over the summer. My mom bought them the shoes over the summer, also.
