Multitasking is NOT A THING.  Evidence below.  That is all.

More nalbinding

Still love nalbinding...made some pouches for largess and someone important suggested I add a drawstring, so ok, added monk's cord drawstrings in EK colors in cotton so they don't felt with the pouch wool when they're used.  Of course people don't need to use them as pouches--they're pretty decent coozies (remove cotton cord, use that for something else...)--why burn or freeze your fingers?  Wonder if felting would make an even better coozie, a thicker stitch certainly could and then felting that could.  Made some "business cards" to go with. And another hat.      Was on a zoom family meeting working on the hat below when a cousin asked "whatcha doin?"  Who can say no to an opening like that?!  I shared. Not too much, I hoped (ok, I don't try to be a pest about it but I get excited about sharing nalbinding info and maybe don't always stop to hope I didn't say too much).  And then sent her the finished hat, a nalbinding needle and the ...

Currency for the Current-sies

Our barony voted us in as baron and baroness.   The barony jokingly calls people in that position (that is, voted in, but not yet invested) Nextcellencies.   We had the benefit of time to follow around the baron and baroness (Their Excellencies) to understand better how things are done, a really nice opportunity (big thanks to our predecessors!).   Meanwhile we had to start thinking about some things, like tokens to give out at our investiture.    A variety of media came to mind and ultimately we decided pewter coins would be nice.   We’d not worked in pewter before so my other half did what he does so well--dove in, research mode activated, and a snowstorm of ideas started coming together.   We decided on images, got help from a friend who’s worked with metals, starting talking through this with her, had several meetings, and made multiple attempts at crafting coins in different ways.   Finally, we settled on pouring molten pewter (it has a fairl...
