First post of 2024
Jan. 4th, 2024 10:16 pmIn the waning hours of 2023 I wrote a post on my Lady Patricia of Trakai blog: https://ladypatriciaoftrakai.blogspot.com/2023/12/wrapping-up-calendar-year.html. I probably should write another post about more SCA stuff.
I hope everyone had a good New Year's holiday. I did things a little differently: after the Rose Parade (gotta watch that on TV per family-of-origin tradition), I went to a banner-painting session here in Storvik. We painted a couple of silk "Inspiration" banners for our current Queen to bestow upon people who inspire her in her service. (The artist, Dame Emma, had already drawn the outlines of the artwork on the silk, so it was like a giant group coloring project.) It was tons of fun.
In a way, the activity served to commemorate my personal milestone as of yesterday: the 20th anniversary of my first SCA event ever. Last night I also gave a Toastmasters talk on my late heraldry teacher, Pedro, who was one of the people I met that momentous day.
