Last year I discovered the A&S 50 Challenge created by Lady Albreda from the East Kingdom.  You'll find more information on my challenges and progress on my Project Blog.  Join the Challenge!

The SCA came into my life in 1980 when I saw a performance of medieval music by the local group during a madrigal dinner.  I didn't find them again until 1984 when a college friend invited me to an event in the neighboring barony.  I made my first outfit, followed my friend to what turned out to be a camping event with nothing more than a thin cloak and my first outfit.  I found people who were generous, kind and friendly.  We'd missed the fighting but the feast and bardic were enough.  I was hooked.  From the beginning two aspects seemed to draw me, arts and service. 

Over the years I've created a lot of stuff, taught a lot, autocratted, entered competitions, and held offices.  I have these scrapbooks, started at the suggestion of Master Blackarrow.  The one with my compiled writing is 4 inches thick alone.  The projects are in two notebooks about 3 inches thick each and don't contain everything.  Some never had pictures taken and some are still on my computer waiting to be printed and scraped.  In an effort to catch up and to make it easier for Master Blackarrow to see the scrapbooks I have begun this website.  It's a labor of love and a work in progress.

You will also find links to resources that have proven invaluable in my quest for knowledge and in the search for better resources for teaching.  Help support my fabric and book habit by picking up a few for your own library.

Enjoy!
