2017/01/01

I wish you all a happy new year! And hope that you had a good and enjoyable “slide” from the old year into the new one, as we tend to say in Austria! 😀 Looking retrospectively at the last year, it amazes me how fast 2016 actually went by. The last year was very busy, as it was filled with many different projects, research, learning, a lot of laughter and love but also some tears as some of us had to say good bye to some dear friends and family members…

…and playing around with wire – some new trees of life :)

2016/12/19

Woohoo! Just a few days are left till christmas! 😀 But before I show you what I made for my husband, I’d like to share with you some cute little wire projects at which I was working during the last days. Yeah, I was playing around with wire again and made some new trees of life… But don’t worry, I didn’t give up embroidery. The skin on my hands just got a little bit rough due to cold weather and work which prohibits me from working with my fine silk thread. However, I got some good, nurturing hand cream and hope that the skin of my hands will be nice and smooth…

…special christmas gifts for family & friends – more hand painted christmas ornaments… :D

2016/12/17

Christmas is nearly upon us! But I don’t really worry about it anymore as I should have all christmas presents covered now! Yeah, I just managed to finish another three christmas ornaments! And if I didn’t miscount, I have all christmas presents for closest family and friends covered by now… 😀 Making the very first three hand painted christmas ornaments was so relaxing that I just couldn’t resist to make some more for family and friends. And though this kind of christmas gifts takes quite some time to make, they are such pleasant little projects. Especially as they help to also cover the friends and in-laws for which I wasn’t able to find a suitable christmas present throughout…

Crazy nailbinding ideas – a nailbinded cover for my gear shifter… :)

2016/12/15

Wooohooo! It seems like my level of crazy just hit a new level! Believe it or not – I made a nailbinded cover for the gear shifter of my car! And I love it! *lol* Why? Well, it seemed so much easier than every other option. …and how come? Well, let’s see… As some of you might know, I really enjoy living in a quite rural neighborhood here in Kentucky. All the trees, grass and the fresh air make quite a huge difference after living in a big city like Vienna for nearly my whole life…

Just made some new tablet weaving cards for future tablet weaving… a cheap and easy way… :D

2016/12/07

Woohooo! I just made my very first tablet weaving cards! And now I have 54 new tablet weaving cards to play with! 😀 Well, not that I really need all these tablet weaving cards right now but I suddenly felt the urge to make some. It all started while I was working at my husbands christmas present – a new 12th century tunic. I suddenly worried that I might not have a suitable tablet woven trim to embellish my sweethearts new tunic… Fortunately I found a lovely tablet woven trim in my stash which worked beautifully with the lovely raw silk fabric of the new tunic. However, I also noticed that my stash of tablet woven…

14th century hood for a friend – 5th rose finished! :)

2016/11/22

Wooohooo! I am very glad to say that I just finished another embroidered rose for my friends 14th century hood project! Recently I was quite busy with other projects – like sewing a hood for our beautiful Queen Oda and painting a shield for my husband for the Meridian Crown Tournament – but whenever I found some idle time inbetween, I continued working on the roses for my friends 14th century hood. And it finally paid off – though it seemed to take forever, the 5th rose is finally finished too!

A new shield for my husband for the Meridian Crown Tournament :)

2016/11/15

I am so tremendously excited! It took nearly a week but I finally managed to finish my husbands new shield for the Meridian Crown Tournament just in time. You should have seen his face whenever he talked about his new shield – like a kid with an awesome new toy. But we have a rule here at home, however awesome any new gear is, it’s not allowed to be brought to bed… Yeah, there is no snuggling with new gauntlets or shields in the bed… 😉 And well, my sweethearts new shield and the awesome Crown Tournament event were not the only highlights this very recent weekend. Thursday night someone suddenly knocked…

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. 😀

More about the rose embroidery for my friends hood .3 – my surface couching embroidery for the center of the roses…

2016/10/27

It took some time but today I finally have my third part of my rose embroidery tutorial ready for you. Todays posting will show you how I used Surface Couching to embroider the central section of the roses for my friends 14th century hood. 😀 But before we get to the embroidery tutorial, I would like to write a little about the last days and weeks as they were quite a journey for me. As some of you might recall from my recent postings, I was taking one test after another to qualify for my GED diploma. And though all these tests drained me mentally, I am excited to tell that all the hard work and concentration finally…

My new black 12th century fillet with white silk embroidery! :D

2016/10/16

Gloria, my dear mother-in-law, took a lovely selfie of us both at the most recent SCA event – Coronation. This cute selfie allows me to finally show you my most recent 12th century project “in use”: My new black 12th century fillet with white silk embroidery! 😀 How come? Well, after completing my new grey/black 12th century dress, I longed for a slightly different 12th century headgear than my ‘normal’ red silk fillet with pearl embroidery. And as the making of a new fillet does not take very long, I decided to simply make a fillet that matched at least one of the colors of my new dress…
