I still have not cut or sewn anything for the A&S entries. Blegh, I just cannot seem to get motivated! Should I use only what I already have in my stash, should I order fabric? I cannot decide, and so I flop back with a good book….
Our kingdom, Gleann Abhann, (in the SCA for those confused by the name of the non-existent political entity) is celebrating 10 years of independence this year on September 18th during the Kingdom Arts & Sciences event.
