    12th century tunic pattern for my husband

    2016/02/05

    After several days of drawing and re-drawing, I am finally able to present to you a new addition to my pattern collection – the (late) 12th century tunic pattern which I have been using so successfully for my husbands tunic projects till now: My very first “13th century male tunic” project My 12th century tunic for the “12th century wedding clothing project” My husbands christmas present – a “12th century grey light-wool tunic” Well, I admit it, my 12th century tunic pattern is actually based on a tunic found in a royal grave from the early 13th century. Though it can’t be said for sure, my personal opinion is that this pattern can also be counted towards the late 12th…

    My husbands 13th century under tunic – more about the “shell” embroidery .1

    2015/11/28

    And today we are taking a look at the very last pictures of the embroidery for my husbands 13th century under tunic project. I will show you how I created the shell embroidery for my husbands “Order of Compostella”/”Pilgrims Order Award. After I promised my husband to incorporate all of his SCA awards in the embellishment along the cuffs of his tunic, I waited with the shells until after I finished all the other awards first. Well, at first I wasn’t quite sure how I should realize the pattern with the quite thick “gold thread” which I used for the rest of the embellishment but then I had a striking idea…

    My husbands 13th century under tunic – more about the embroidery

    2015/11/27

    And today I have some more pictures of my embroidery for my husbands 13th century under tunic project. During the last days I was quite busy entertaining a rather bad head cold but today it finally started to clear up again and I am already feeling much better. I can’t tell you what a pleasure it is to be able to think more clearly again and not to sneeze and cough all the time. 🙂 Because of my cold I was not able to take the promised pictures of me wearing my new “Meridian cross cyclas” or some nice close ups of the embroidery but I will try to take this pictures as…

    My husbands 13th century under tunic – about my medieval inspiration

    2015/04/05

    New inspiration for our hobby can be quite difficult to find but some books really make a difference. Like the one in which I found the inspiration for my husbands new 13th century under tunic. Since I started with this hobby, which was more then 10 years ago, I have been searching for interesting and inspiring books. But well, with every new book purchase for my book collection I always take a chance.

    13th century under tunic for the “12th century wedding clothing project” finished

    2015/02/12

    Finally I can declare the 13th century under tunic project for my sweethearts 12th century wedding clothing project finished. And the expression on my husbands face every time he wears his new hand sewn 13th century under tunic assures me that this project is a great success. 😀 The construction of the 13th century under tunic pattern was a rather long process but I really learned a lot concerning the differences between male and female clothing while working at this project. Especially because I never (hand) sewed a period male garment like this before. It took several alterations to the measurements – especially of the body part – but it was totally worth…

    2015/02/06

    And again a new update concerning the 13th century under tunic for my sweetheart – it took many working hours and little stitches but the bottom hemline embroidery is finished! *happydance* Well, the embellishment is quite simple but the bottom hemline looks much more appealing with this extra sparkle. I think you can say that it adds a certain “je-ne-sais-quoi”. 😉

    2015/02/03

    Wooohooo! During the last days I added many more embroidery stitches and finished the neckline embroidery for my sweethearts 13th century tunic. *happydance* 😀 Though the embroidery is very simple and rather basic due to the little time I have left for the whole “12th century wedding clothing project”, it adds a nice effect and a lovely golden sparkle around the neckline opening.

    male 13th century tunic for the “12th century wedding clothing project” .7 – more sleeve embroidery – embroidered bears & comets :D

    2015/01/31

    Since the last posting concerning the sleeve embroidery for the 13th century tunic, I spent even more hours busy working at my husbands 13th century under tunic. And I am very glad to say that I made great progress concerning the embroidery. 😀 I added two embroidered bears and comets to the sleeves. The bears stand for the “Legion of the Bear“/”Legio Ursi”  SCA award and the comets for the Argent Comet” SCA award.

    2015/01/30

    And after a lot of hard work during the last days, I managed to make even more progress concerning the sleeve embroidery for the 13th century tunic for my sweetheart – today I have embroidered shells and shields for you. 😀 Yes, two shells and two shields already fill the first four roundels. That leaves just four more empty roundels which need to be filled – two on every sleeve. The embroidered shells stand for my husbands SCA “Compostella” award and the embroidered shields for his “Argent Shield“. I am going to add two bears for the “Legion of the Bear“/”Legio Ursi” and two comets for his “Argent Comet” next – this…

    male 13th century tunic for the “12th century wedding clothing project” .5 – sneak peek at the sleeve embroidery :D

    2015/01/23

    During the last days I was very busy working at the sleeve embroidery for the 13th century under tunic for my sweetheart. And it totally payed off –  the embroidery of the major pattern on both sleeves is already finished and ready to be filled. Wooohooo! 😀 I am very happy with the rather fast progress and the overall look of the sleeve embroidery so far. Yes, I admit it, I really like the sparkle of this golden thread on the white linen though I still prefer silver over gold for myself. But well, my sweetheart prefers gold…

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!
