This Past Week

I have been somewhat busy. Playing with grand kids, visiting with daughter, started back to Weight Watchers on line (very cool), spinning some Alpaca, embroidery, and actually used the sewing machine to finally put hubby's name on his lab coat for school. The machine is pretty nice, it was given to me by my sister in law and mother in law. So this week has been a great week. Oh and by the way, I lost 6 pounds this week. It is a shame that it had found me again in the first place but not as bad as it was initially.

It has been a great week, we also have been having fun with the Fionna, took her to the dog park two days in a row. She likes it OK, and it gives me a good walk about. I want to see her run and have fun, keep on hoping we will meet up with another big dog to have fun with.

Pretty Dragon Fly

My sweetie saw this really cool dragon fly.

Busy Saturday

Well, several years ago our oldest moved into a house that had honey bees living in the wall. After several attempts of trying to evict they had to call someone to get rid of them. We had bee people and then finally the guys with the gas. About a month or so ago the hive was quiet and today they took down the dry wall to find a huge bee hive. They had chewed through the foam board and the pink insulation was nearly gone. Here are some crazy pictures.

Spinning

I spun some really lovely silk yesterday. Steamed set the spin. This is for Susan :-)

Getting ready to go home

While getting ready to go home we met Og, he one of the writers for the Pennsic newspaper, yes there is actually a newspaper for this event. It was sad to leave, but the teacher folk needed to get back home so they could rest before getting back to work. Oh excuse my hair, I know I am lookin like a crazed Celt, but the hair is in a in between stage. Enjoy the pictures

There was a hole

OH my gosh there was a hole near where we park the truck a huge hole. We felt the need to take its picture..

Kingdom party

Well it was a shared party. Meridias and Gleann Abhann. Kenrick and Alan did security for it. It was a very nice little gathering good food and good drink. It poured right before the start then it stopped and a rainbow appeared. It was a lovely evening. I wish I could had attended for a longer bit.

Dancing

Oh there was dancing a lot of dancing in fact. Here are just a few pictures of folks dancing.

Our Kingdoms Encampment

Thought I would share the encampment of Gleann Abhann. Well at least the area where they held court.

A Tour of the Site

One of the days Lady Susan and Lord Alan took us on a tour. We went in style. They had gone to town and picked up important things, like beer and came back with some lovely junk food. Had us hop into the SUV, shocking me with only my underdress on, (It was hugely hot and I was going with as little as I could) we hopped in and ate our McD's in the wonderful air conditioned horseless carriage for about an hour and took a tour of the site. Hense all these great pictures.

Gates and Walls

Gates and Walls are anything made from fabric to wood. Some where very elaborate. Made from carved foam and then painted. They were all incredible and very creative. AMAZING what people do with time on their hands. The SCA is a great hobby there is something for everyone.
