Hey everyone! Guess what? I totally need to start checking my emails more regularly. I just found out that the basketry class at Lauritzen Gardens today was super popular and, yep, you guessed it, I was one of the last to sign up. So, no class for me – big bummer! 😞 To be completely…
Hey there, fellow craft adventurers! I’ve got something exciting to share. I’ve signed up for a basket weaving class, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it. On January 20th, I’ll be diving headfirst into the world of basketry at Omaha’s Lauritzen Gardens for a class called “Basket Weaving: Bolt.” I’m still a…
Each year several Known World symposiums are held around the SCA bringing people together to mingle and learn about their special interests. This one was about my two favorite things heraldry and scribal stuff.

We shared tools, books, and ideas. I also…
I’m doing my homework for the coming calligraphy and illumination classes. I want these new students to feel the class benefit as soon as we begin. For that, I’ve been looking into new teaching methods. I’ve created Pinterest boards showing related medieval manuscripts have my handouts on Google Docs. My mission is to keep my students enthused and returning.
