Medieval University

Remember my basket making post? I said I had to teach some friends how to make the baskets, also? That was this weekend. On Saturday, one of our Medieval groups had a Medieval University. It was basically a day full of classes to share the various Medieval arts and crafts we knew. I taught basket making to three lovely ladies, unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures. I did bring the camera to the class. I even dropped it in the basket water. Luckily I fished it out in time, and all was well. I do have pictures from the day, just none from the class.

At the beginning of the day, Doug took the girls outside to play in the playground. The site we were at was a church with a preschool, and they had a wonderful playground. It was just right for our girls. They loved that they were able to play on the whole thing without needing help from Daddy. There were a few slides, and much sliding fun!

There was also a little house to play in, and to peer out from.

OK, so it was more like “Daddy! Sooooo!”

Medieval

I have been in a bit of a funk for the past few days. It seems to be going around blogland. Maybe it’s the weather. No snow to play in, but not warm enough to go play in the park. Short days are a bummer, I like the sunlight. Anyway, I will stop passing my funk on to you, but this post will probably just be a lot of pics and few words.

Last weekend we went to one of our medieval events. We are involved with two medieval groups, a smaller group called the MSR that is in and around the NYC/Long Island area, and a larger group called the SCA that is all over the country and in a few other countries as well. So this event was for the coronation of our new King and Queen in the MSR, both of whom I am very fond of. Here are a few *bad* snaps of them. Sorry, still getting used to the new camera, and

What I’ve been up to…

A lot has gone on here since my laptop wire went kaput. I know I told you I finished the hex blanket and started the next one, but I still haven’t gotten good pictures. As soon as I do I will put up a reveal post. I will also be posting a 2010 to-do list of projects, and you will be able to follow along with my *hopeful* progress.

Last weekend we went to the Meadowlands Expo Center for a big electronic sale. There was a lot of other fun goodies, too. Here is a shot of our loot. There was also a DVD/VCR player we got for the TV in our bedroom. It almost never gets used, but it’s nice to have once and a while. Plus with a DVD player in there I can work out in the bedroom when Doug and the girls are in the living room. Cool.

Here is a closer shot of some of the loot. We got a new camera, a universal cord for my laptop (turns out my laptop is not very universal, hence the cord I had to order.) A little African drum for the girls ~ shoulda’ gotten 2 of those ~ 2 MP3 players ~ haven’t tried those yet…~ PJ pants (Red Baron for Doug and blue for me) ~ Spidey boxers, slippers for the girls and I, and

Sunday in the park with…well, not George.

OK, first I must apologize for my absentness of late. I’ve just been a bit off kilter lately. I am way behind on reading the blogs that I love, and have been a little neglectful of my blog, too. I *hope* I’m back now!

So, Sunday. Doug had seen some signs that there was to be a flea market/craft show in the park. We put the girls in the stroller and walked up the block to the park entrance.

We walked through the park and over one of the many cute little bridges.
