So, a week has passed since the marathon sprint that was Ymir garb. Maestra Maddalena says I should promise never to do anything quite that rushed again, and I almost do, but since I have rather strong feelings about promises and whether I can keep them, I’m not quite willing to do so. Still, I can’t think of anything else I’ll be that time crunched on.

There are a fair number of things I want to make / organize the making of for the barony. Still working on plans for that - the problem with regalia is that it ought to be spiffy but persona (and gender, and size) neutral, which is somewhat difficult. While I’d like to make some Court livery for the Champions and Officers, I can’t think of anything other than baldrics, or perhaps hoods or cloaks, that would work. Though fancy embroidered or appliqued baldrics WOULD have some spiff factor.

Now that I have some space, with the house and all, I’d like to do some more silk painting. I still owe a few banners, and I’d like to do yet another one for WM as well - we have some gorgeous emnoidered ones, but one can never have too many banners…

I plan on fighting at war this year, so my armor needs help. So does Girard’s - I think his gambeson is held together by hope.

This, other random stuff, and… Oh! I am going to try to have a garden this year. We bought seeds, and I started the ones that needed starting, and I even identified the one eligible sunny spot in my yard. Next step - raised beds.

I still don’t have a post on Ymir in general written up… nor a dress diary on the Investiture Houppelandes… but before I misplace all the notes, I did want to write a little about the Oath of Fealty given by Girard and I during our Investiture, as a couple people commented on it (one of whom I know was in the back of the hall, so apparently I spoke loudly enough).  Our oath was:

Your Majesties, we, Girard and Guenievre, do homage unto you with respect to the fief of Windmasters Hill, and will bear you fealty in life and limb and earthly honor. We shall be loyal and true unto you, our liege lord, as the rightful Crown of Atlantia. We swear we shall govern the barony well and truly, with all our might, ability and diligence, during our term as baron and baroness. We will maintain all the franchises of the barony, and every parcel thereof, with all power, wisdom and acumen, and perform all other duties that pertain to our station. Thus we swear and affirm.

It was not a precise copy of a period oath, rather it was … a cut-and-paste job from various sources - as shown below the cut.
