    More about the rose embroidery for my friends hood .4 – a little pelican and the red silk embroidery around the middle…

    2016/11/07

    It’s time again for some embroidery. The focus of todays posting will be on some red silk embroidery and a tiny embroidered pelican. I hope you are just as excited as I am. Today I am going to show you the technique which I used to embroider the red embellishment along the border of the middle part of the roses.  And that’s not all – I also have a sneak peek at the little, very cute pelican which I added to the middle of one of the roses. 😀

    First sneak peek at a new embroidery project – a 14th century hood for a friend or roses, roses, roses,… :)

    2016/07/13

    And todays posting is all about roses! …or to be more specific: embroidered roses! Well, you know me, I love me some good rose embroidery from time to time… 😉 After all my sewing related postings concerning my husbands new tunic, the time has finally come to show you some of my hand embroidery again! And as it happens, I just quite recently started a new embroidery project. Not only that, I already worked several hours on this project and therefore already have a nice sneak peek for you of: …a 14th century hood with roses (and maybe one or two pelicans) for my dear friend Elisenda de Luna! 😀

    White 14th century hood for a friends Pelican elevation – finished! :D

    2015/10/29

    And after all my recent postings about the progress of my friends 14th century hood with pelican & knighthood embroidery, I can finally present to you the finished 14th century hood! The picture at the left was taken shortly after my friend – Sir Thomas Blackmoore (sorry but I don’t remember all the other proper SCA titles he has) –  was elevated to the Order of the Pelican.

    White 14th century XL hood for a friends Pelican elevation – embroidery .4 – how I created the embroidered Pelican patches .2

    2015/10/21

    In my last posting – “White 14th century XL hood for a friends Pelican elevation – embroidery .4 – how I created the embroidered Pelican patches .1” – I showed you how I created the two different kinds of golden beaks for the embroidered pelicans. After this step and and after finishing the rest of the embroidery for the pelicans, I decided to add even more embroidery. Instead of removing the base fabric in-between the knighthood belt and the pelican embroidery, which didn’t have any appliqué or other kind of embroidery, I made the decision to fill this empty space with lovely purple silk/wool thread.

    White 14th century XL hood for a friends Pelican elevation – embroidery .4 – how I created the embroidered Pelican patches

    2015/10/15

    With this posting, after all the previous postings about the 14th century XL hood project for my friends Pelican elevation, I am finally reaching the last and major part of the embroidery for this hood project: …the pelican patches! In my last posting I already showed you the finished knight belt patches for the 14th century hood for my friends Pelican elevation. And as nice as the knight belt patches already looked like at this stage of the project, they all still looked quite empty, didn’t they – but no for long, that’s for sure… 😀

    Medieval Pelican inspiration for embroidery .1

    2015/09/11

    During the last days I was searching for a new medieval pelican inspiration for my current embroidery project. Well, what shall I say – finding a new inspiration is often difficult enough but if you are looking for something special, it can appear to be even more challenging. Fully aware of this fact, I gathered my favorite books about embroidery around me, sat down and went through my books in order to find a new medieval pelican inspiration for my current 14th century hood project for my friends pelican elevation.

    positive review  She’s a very talented artist and sews beautifully! My custom bag was hand stamped with her own cut stamps in beautiful Gold paint, and the design looked perfect on the bag. If you need a bag for a purse or knapsack, and with any design you can think of, purchase it from this wonderful lady! ***** (5 stars)

    positive review  I commissioned a hand carved stamp for my husband's knighting ceremony clothes. Not only is it gorgeous, but I was given SO MUCH information on sources and instructional information on block printing. I now feel relatively confident I can do this. Perfection.

I promised a friend who does awesome meals in the I promised a friend who does awesome meals in the instapot to also show more of my cooking to repay her kindness. 

Today I take you through my process of making one of my favs - Rindsrouladen (beef-rouladen). Sorry for not taking more pics but it can get quite messy with the mustard.

So, I got me a lovely piece of beef that was labeled for stew and showed a nice big coherent piece. It was actually one of the cheapest cuts at the meet counter and I normally cut away all the excess and fat and put it through the meet grinder for medium rare burgers or meet balls. From this piece I cut as many rather thin slices as possible and put the rest through the meet grinder. Btw. if you don't have a meet grinder, you can also cut the rest of the beef into thin slices and make a nice beef stir fry.

So, now to the Rouladen - I put some mustard on the beef slice, pepper it, put some pickle slices on it, when I am in the mood I also add carrot sticks in the middle but not today. Then I roll them up and as I always forget to get toothpicks, I use some cord to bind them so the layers stay in place. I put my instapot on saute/high, add some fat and when it is hot, I brown the Rouladen on all sides. If you get some liquid while you are browning it, you can carefully remove the inner pot and pour it into a bowl for later use and continue browning.

When the browning is done, I remove the Rouladen and add carrots and onions and brown them. When they have a nice shine I add about 2 cups of liquid (in this case the meet juice from my last piece of beef I cut in the instapot and saved in a reused Barilla jar - no extra seasoning as this "juice" has plenty in it). If I have some unused pickle slices left, I normally chop them up and add them to the pot. Then I add my OXO silicon ring and arrange the Rouladen on it. I put my instapot on 25 min/pressure cook/normal or low setting (Natural release).

To serve I take out the Rouladen, remove the silicon ring and get to the natural sauce with carrots and onion. I normally start my rice as soon as I start the pressure cooking.

I am so excited! Donated my super long hair and my I am so excited! Donated my super long hair and my awesome friend @hellomolly___ gave me an amazing haircut and a striking blue-emerald dye job! I can't get enough of my new haircut and hair color and it is so much less weight now that more than half of my hair is gone!
💙💚💙

I already had a similar hairstyle about 20 years ago - it will be awesome when the temperatures get up again. A perfect hairstyle for me for the summer in the Florida panhandle! And as a bonus I feel like she turned back my inner clock by at least 15years - I feel so much younger! Feel like going out and getting me a blue and emerald green lipstick! Lol

Well, it was time for some change but not without Well, it was time for some change but not without making sure to save some hair for the wig making program that makes wigs for kids with cancer.
Now I feel better in so many ways - that's quite some weight off my head, will make life so much easier and help a kid with cancer to feel better thanks to my fabulous neighbor @hellomolly___ ! ❤️
First step is to save the hair more is still to come!
