Yes, I put up a tree this year. And the nutcrackers.
Confession: They are still up.
Pictures?
Tree. My phone doesn't do so good, but there it is. Fruit, misc family ornaments, and a bunch of nutcrackers.
Nutcrackers 1.
Nutcrackers 2.
Nutcrackers 3. I seem to remember that I now have 52.
Grendel, marshaling his troops.
There was also this little event called Twelfth Night...
It was here in Portland, so we got some cool photos.
Here's some that I did not take and I don't remember who did:
Our new King and Queen, UlfR Blodfotur Fallgrson and Caoimhe (Keeva) ingen Domnaille,
Bringing back the Emblems of State,
The Chivalry swearing fealty,
Crowning the King (Vik had fantastic step-down clothes!).
King and Queen of the West, our Guests, coming into Court.
I made a new outfit, since I hadn't made anything really nice for awhile. Here's some process:
The colors here aren't quite true, but I had silk shantung in a vibrant red-orange, and orange-gold, and teal. Unlikely, but they *worked*.
There was also banding on the sleeves, and hem.

After banding on sleeves and hem.
Eh. Hanging in hallway.
And me at the event? Only two pics, both not-so-great:
Me, presenting a Laurel candidate. You can only see a little of the gown. I look so OLD. And Luciano looks sooo bored...
Iurii caught me, and I was telling him "No you don't!" He snapped it anyway. I look very orange. Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Next event- Adiantum Midwinter's, teaching a class on Frankish Culture. Heh. After that, Kingdom A&S, presenting at Laurel meeting again. And Phil and Annie are hoping to be there too!
That's it for now!
