Tuesday Truth 5/28/13-Silks & Needles

Silks & Needles is a bi-annual SCA event that I autocrat (set up and run). It is a day of classes dealing with embroidery and fiber arts like spinning and weaving.  That includes wire weaving and making chain mail. In the weeks leading up to the event, which took place this past Saturday, I felt frazzled and ready to give up ever doing it again. I couldn’t update the website, teachers had to back out and the man who had volunteered to make lunch had to go and win the Crown Tournament a few weeks earlier, and the Crown Prince of Northshield really couldn’t be expected to toil in the kitchen, so a scramble was on to find a new cook.  But the day went smoothly and I had a wonderful time, so I guess I’ll do it all again come 2015. 🙂

Here are a few pics of the day.
