Medieval Living

It’s that time of the year – seniors are taking their finals and preparing for their graduation ceremonies, the weather is warming up nicely, which means more outdoor activities, the mother-in-law has added 15 new projects to her list of “my-son-in-law-can-do-these-he-has-lots-of-free-time projects”, and of course allergies and little cold bugs that knock you off your feet for a few days. Yes, I’ve been experiencing all of those this past couple of weeks; therefore, writing a blog article has been something I think about right before drifting off to sleep.
I’m in the midst of designing some wasters (practice swords) as James wants to teach some “pell” skills later this summer. I really don’t like the idea of buying something that I can make myself, especially something as simple as a practice sword. Maybe this weekend I will find the time for that (already told the mum-in-law “NO!!!”).
A reader is intersted in my pattern for the practice inkle looms, so I will put that into a pdf file format – it’s a handy little loom – one of my co-teachers teaches some vocational skills classes and just raves about those little looms.
Hopefully I will be able to stay out of bed this weekend – still feeling a little under the weather, napping every opportunity I can find. Less than three weeks until school is out – I wonder who is more excited – me or the kids. Ha, I know the answer to that one!!!
