SCA Into being Medieval

I have become a member of the SCA (www.sca.org) aka The Society for Creative Anachronism. I am so happy to have finally found a group that I feel I mess well with. Ever since I moved out to BFE and become a SAHM I've felt SO alone with no one to talk to or anything.

I've been to a good number of meetings with the local group. I've gone to Baron Wars, including camping with my daughter who was then around 10 months or so. I also helped to get together, run and tear down Pounce. For Pounce I left the daughter at home with the husband (who told me he isn't interested in dress up and would rather get one on one time with dd). I had a blast and got to know some really great and fun people. I went to a few classes (one on beer making and one on drumming).

A few weeks ago I went to a local feast put on by a couple in our group who was celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary. While there I was asked if I was interested in taking over the position for Webmistress and Chronicler!

Just recently I went to Yule Feast. It was a day event that had a feast at the end. I attended a drumming, T-tunic, and beading classes. The best part of the day was at court where Baroness Gabrielle presented me with a scroll!! I recieved my very first scroll for Order of the Boresbane for all the help I provided at Pounce. It is a beautiful scroll! I will have to get a picture of it.

Since Yule Feast I have been doing some research on illumination and calligraphy. I've drawn out 2 scrolls for the illumination in my sketchbook. I am going to try to continue to do sketching each week. I'm a little rusty since it's been so long, but am starting off slow. We have a meeting on Sunday and I'm planning on bringing the sketchbook to get critiques and reactions to my work.
