Yesterday's Twelfth Night event had food, dancing, classes, entertainment, court and I am sure more things (SCA). I had a lovely day talking with friends and attending the court where the King and Queen attend to business and those who have earned awards get them. My daughter was one of 4 inducted into the Order of the Silver Brooch. This is awarded for things done within the arts or sciences. Some of what she does is sew, embroider and recently she took up calligraphy and illumination. It isn't just about the skill involved with these projects, it is also about doing them in a way similar to how it was done or to look how it was done in the middle ages. So she does bunches of research, too.
Pictures from yesterday:
My daughter and some friends making clothing adjustments.
My daughter and her husband being adorable.

Congratulations!!
My daughter made me a new dress.
We call it my Sleeping Beauty Dress.

These 2 short videos are me being silly.
Today wasn't just the ride home. We went out to breakfast at the 'best truck stop in Maine' (Dysarts) with friends. We also spent way too much money at Mardens, a surplus department store with fabric, clothes, hardware etc. Along with some fabric I also purchased some cheap snow and ice cleats to keep me from falling when I get back outside to walking this winter. Maybe that will be tomorrow morning when I go to get my car from the parking garage. 😎 My happy for today is being home again. Even with a suitcase still to unpack and work tomorrow, I look forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight and getting into a routine.
