Back from Pennsic with tons of inspiration


I had a great ten days at Pennsic and have come back with lots of ideas, inspiration and supplies to work on projects. My class on Tassels, Cords & Braids went well with some lovely people attending and participating. I do need to tweak my handouts with more detailed illustrations and my next step will be to recreate specific tassels and cords from pictures.


I helped out at Viscountess Mistress Aramanthra the Vicious' classes on breadmaking in firepits. It was great and I learned so much. She is correct in that once you have had homemade English Muffins, you'll never have the storebought ones. One of their neighbours brought over honey to have on the bread which was so great.


I had a quick trip through the A&S display in the barn on Monday and wished I could have spent more of the day talking to people. I'm including a picture of one sweet bag that a woman made and I cannot find her name unfortunately. I finally found beads for my veils after a few days of searching as my usual supplier did not bring any and I decided to try making my veils from scratch rather than premade ones.
