Okay, so he was more than slightly distracting…

The baby has been significantly more of a hindrance to my working on projects than I had anticipated. Several people warned me he would be, but I clearly didn’t listen. Despite cutting down on my creative time, Ivan has been nothing but a joy, so I don’t begrudge him my time. :-}

I have not been totally idle, however, even if I have not been posting to this blog. Last month my husband and I did a fourteenth century French feast for one of our local events. Researching and cooking for that was a lot of fun. I have also finished my hairnet! It still needs a fingerlooped braid to put around the edge, and then I will post pictures. I have been looking more into researching poultry, in part because I taught a class on medieval chickens last weekend at another local event. So I have been keeping busy.

My goal for the next few weeks is to work on some tablet-weaving that I am making for a friend. I will try to take pictures, of the weaving and of the hairnet, to post very soon.
