I must apologize to everyone that I have not written anything lately. It has been a crazy few weeks, involving Jehan's grandmother dying, my graduation party, and starting a new job. I haven't had the time (or the energy to come down to get internet). But here I am now for a few moments, so I thought I would give you an update on what has been going on.

well, the last time I was able to write, we were just getting through the hurricane Irene. Now, we have just seen 2 tropical storms go through, and its not looking pretty. Many of my friends and family have flooding. Lucky, where I am, I do not have flood damage, although the major routes that I need to be able to get to my parents house are all shut down :(.

Hurricane Irene is heading our way, so I thought I would share a bit. It is supposed to start raining really soon from said hurricane, but I don't see anything yet, so I am thinking more than likely its just going to blow us by.
I'm continuing to work on my job hunt, since I am done with my fieldwork in two weeks. In the crafting realm, I'm still working on my blasted sock, as well as a bit of Kumihimo for extra ties (we have a bad habit...

well, today was the last day of the great Pennsic war. I helped to pack up Jehan and his camp, then made the 5 hour trip home. although we took a nice long nap in the middle, we made it home at about 5:30 am. Although I only saw the last bit of the war, I am extremely excited for next year.
At my doctors appt. this past Wednesday, they discovered that I do not have Rheumatoid Arthritis according to the blood tests. I do have a vitamin D deficiency, so we are going to try me on vitamins...

This next bracer is for my lovely girlfriend who goes by Artemis in the SCA. The lovely lass cooked up an entire set of Turkish garb for her second event. Her first event she wore medieval garb that she just happened to have 'laying around'. You can see why I'm so fond of her.
So first things first: To find out if she even likes archery! Luckily, Tournament of Armies was just around the corner and Artemis was coming with me. Well, she was sorta the wheels of the operation, so I guess I...

Archery Bracer #3 for Thorun
Earlier this year I sold the first bow I ever owned to my friend, Thorun. I wasn't shooting with it anymore, she wanted something to shoot with... so it all worked out! I sold her the bow, the case and a stringer for a decent price. But as any true salesman will tell you, it's all about the add-ons. So I offered to make her a custom leather bracer as well. Five months later (never said salesmen were prompt), this is what I came up with!
This bracer was...

Ok so as some of you may know, last year I went to Tournament of Armies 1 in Lions Gate, An Tir. It was a bit rocky, some major delays and schedule changes. There was a lot of very cool ideas being implemented, such as a warband processional in which all the armies came into court and presented a bit of propaganda for their side. Nice idea, but it took quite a while and it was less than comfortable waiting around in that armour. The idea that A&S and service added to your Warlord's...
