Hi, ya-all!  If there are any of you planning to come to Birthday, and I
hope there are many.  The Exit number printed in the sage for I-15
travelers, 364, is WRONG.   That is the exit to Brigham City where Jeff
and Linda live.   The Exit you wish to take is 360.  I-15 willard Bay
Exit 360.   360.  Exit 36-zero,  360. Three-six- oh!
Alles Klar?

Thank your feet. They allow you to stand and walk on them. They get the
brush of when entering a friends house.  They are the last things
cleaned in the shower, and the first to feel the pain of being stubed.
Yet through all this they carry you where-ever you wish to go.  They can
also clear out a cramped with bodies room when their protective covering
is removed.  What a wonderful thing.  Feet. Ya gotta love em.

Jurgen did a Carved Dante Chair out of Walnut.  Lynnette made a Laureling
Dress with her heraldic charge Aplique-ed.  Amanda did a necklace and
bracelet.  Jurgen did a brass medallion for the Bards necklace which HL Heidi
made, She also made one for M. Lynnettes Laurel Medallion.

How many shire members are planning to go to the Known World Arts and
Sciences Symposium the first weekend in March in Arn Hold?  How
many people are teaching a class?

The event will be at a hotel in Boise and the costs are:

Some classes will have fees.
Site fee:  $7 members/$9 nonmembers
Feast fee:  $12
Sunday brunch:  $12.50
Hotel room:  $69 per room (I don't know how many to a room)
The Barony does have limited crash space, but if you want crash
space, I recommend reserving it NOW.

No outside food will be allowed in the hotel,  so if you don't want
to eat the hotel's food, you will have to leave the event to eat.

Landolf and I are going--I will be teaching a bobbin lace class.

The event will be way cool.  There will be teachers and attendees
from all over the Known World.  I just wish it wasn't going to be so
expensive.

Melangell here.

Be very careful with Kohler.  His book is cheap and easy to get but
that does not a good book make.  He wrote that book a long time ago
(my book is in the other room, or I could give you a copyright date).
 Alot of new stuff has been learned about how clothing was
constructed.  Please don't follow any of his "patterns" as they don't
work.  They are also not to scale, so I've heard, i.e. if you
increase the size of the line drawing to human size, everything is
out of kilter.

My favorite Kohler oops is his treatment of the bliaut or Norman
gown.  He thinks that "pouches" were sewn into a seperate bodice to
hold the ladies breasts.  Can you even imagine how funny that would
look?

Peacock is another one that is easy to find and cheap.
Unfortunately, his line drawings are drawn out of his head.  Some of
them are sort of correct (medievalish) and some are  more imaginary.
He does give general trends in fashion.

Look for Milia Davenport's book "The Book of Costume".  It can be
found in most good reference libraries, and Utah State has one as
does Weber, if my memory serves.  Excellent book, good pictures.

A funny!!


During the heat of the space race in the 1960s, the U.S. National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) realised that astronauts
would
have to be able to record certain things while performing their duties
and
so it needed a writing utensil capable of writing in the zero gravity
confines of its space capsules.  Of course, a normal pen will not work
since
they are all gravity fed, but the design specification called for a pen
to
be used.

After considerable research and development spanning over two years, the
working zero-g Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of approximately $1
million U.S. (in 1960's dollars !!).

The initial production run was fifty pens.

The Soviet Union, faced with the same problem, issued pencils.

Of course, this is a capitalist society, so after that initial production
run the patent ended up in the hands of Cross pens, I think. They have made
many millions of dollars through production of pens that write beutifully
for a long time, even when used upside down or on vertical surfaces. The
'astronaut pen' has been very profitable, adding much to our economy. And
that doesn't even take into account the knowledge we gained concerning
fluid flow in zero-g.
    Now I am not a rabid capitalist, but one theory of mine is that
basic research ALWAYS pays. Even if we don't imediately understand why, or
how.

I know you are not a student. If going to the library isn't of any help,
i.e., you need/want to read it for longer than you have, let me know and I
will check it out for you. I can check it out for 12 weeks, so if you
promise to get it to me in 2 months, and you can get me a call number (The
USU library card catalong is on-line), I'll get it for you. If you keep it
longer than 2 months, you won't like the results.

The Doll and a White Rose

I hurried into the local department store to grab some last minute
Christmas gifts. I looked at all the people and grumbled to myself. I
would be in here forever, and I just had so much to do.

Christmas was beginning to become such a drag. I kinda wished that I
could just sleep  through Christmas. But I hurried the best I could,
through all the people to the toy department.

Once again I kind of mumbled to myself at the prices of all these toys.
And wondered if the grandkids would even play with them.

I found myself in the doll aisle. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a
little boy about 5 holding a lovely doll. He kept touching her hair and
he held her so gently.  I could not seem to help myself. I just kept
looking over at the little boy and wondered who the doll was for.

I watched him turn to a woman, and he called his aunt by name and said,
"Are you sure I don't have enough money?"

She replied a bit impatiently, "You know that you don't have enough
money for it." The aunt told the little boy not to go anywhere that she
had to go get some other things and would be back in a few minutes. And
then she left the aisle.

The boy continued to hold the doll. After a bit I asked the boy
who the doll was for. He said, "It's the doll my sister wanted so badly
for Christmas. She just knew that Santa would bring it."

I told him that maybe Santa was going to bring it. He said "No, Santa
can't go where my sister is, I have to give the doll to my Momma to
take to her.

I asked him where his sister was. He looked at me with the saddest eyes
and said "She has gone to be with Jesus. My Daddy says that Momma is
going to have to go to be with her."

My heart nearly stopped beating. Then the boy looked at me again and
said, "I told my Daddy to tell Momma not to go yet. I told him to tell
her to wait till I got back from the store."

Then he ask me if I wanted to see his picture. I told him I would love
to. He pulled out some pictures he'd had taken in the photobooth at the
front of the store.

He said "I want my Momma to take this with her so she don't ever forget
me. I love my my momma so very much, and I wish she did not have to
leave me. But Daddy says she needs to be with my sister."

I saw that the little boy had lowered his head and had grown so very
quiet. While he was not looking I reached into my purse and pulled out
a hand full of bills. I ask the little boy, "Shall we count that money
one more time?"

He grew excited and said , "Yes, I just know it has to be enough"

So I slipped my money in with his and we began to count it. And, of
course, it was plenty for the doll.

He softly said, "Thank you Jesus, for giving me enough money." Then the
boy said "I just asked Jesus to give me enough money to buy this doll
so Momma can take it with her to give to my sister. And he heard my
prayer.

I wanted to ask him for enough to buy my Momma a white rose, but I
didn't, but he gave me enough to buy the doll and a rose for my Momma.
She loves white roses so very, very much"

In a few minutes the aunt came back, and I wheeled my cart away. I
could not keep from thinking about the little boy as I finished my
shopping
in a totally different spirit than when I had started. And I kept
remembering a story I had  seen in the newspaper several days earlier
about a drunk driver hitting a car and killing a little girl and the
Mother was in serious condition. The family was deciding on whether to
remove the life support. Now surely this little boy did not belong with
that story.

Two days later I read in the paper where the family had disconnected
the life support and the young woman had died. I could not forget the
little boy and just kept wondering if the two were somehow connected.
Later
that day, I could not help myself.  I went out and bought some white
roses and took them to the funeral home where the young woman was.

And there she was holding a lovely white rose, the beautiful doll, and
the picture of the little boy in the store.

I left there in tears, my life changed forever.  The love that little
boy had for his little sister  and his mother was overwhelming. And in
a split second a drunk driver had ripped the life of that little boy to
pieces.

A funny for Christmas

-------------Forwarded Message-----------------


57 ELM STREET BETHLEHEM, PA. 11:51 P.M., DECEMBER 24TH

We're too late! It's already been here.

Mulder, I hope you know what you're doing.

Look, Scully, just like the other homes: Douglas fir, truncated,
mounted, transformed into a shrine; halls decked with boughs of holly;
stockings hung by the chimney, with care.

You really think someone's been here?

Someone ... or something.

Mulder, over here-it's a fruitcake.

Don't touch it! Those things can be lethal.

It's O.K. There's a note attached: "Gonna find out who's naughty and
nice."

It's judging them, Scully. It's making a list.

Who? What are you talking about?

Ancient mythology tells of an obese humanoid entity who could travel
at great speed in a craft powered by antlered servants. Once each year
near the winter solstice, this creature is said to descend from the
heavens to reward its followers and punish disbelievers with jagged
chunks of anthracite.

But that's legend, Mulder-a story told by parents
to frighten children.  Surely you don't believe it?

Something was here tonight, Scully. Check out the bite marks on this
gingerbread man. Whatever tore through this plate of cookies was
massive-and in a hurry. It left crumbs everywhere.

And look, Mulder,this milk glass has been completely drained. It gorged
itself, Scully.  It fed without remorse.

But why would they leave it milk and cookies?

Appeasement. Tonight is the Eve, and nothing can stop its wilding.

But if this thing does exist, how did it get in? The doors and windows
were locked. There's no sign of forced entry.

Unless I miss my guess, it came through the fireplace.

Wait a minute, Mulder. If you're saying some huge creature landed on
the roof and came down this chimney, you're crazy. The flue is barely
six inches wide. Nothing could get down there.

But what if it could alter its shape, move in all directions at once?

You mean, like a bowl full of jelly?

Exactly. Scully, I've never told anyone this, but when I was a child
my home was visited. I saw the creature. It had long white shanks of fur
surrounding its ruddy, misshapen head. Its bloated torso was red and
white. I'll never forget the horror. I turned away, and when I looked
back it had somehow taken on the facial features of my father.

Impossible.

I know what I saw. And that night it read my mind. It brought me a Mr.
Potato Head, Scully. It knew that I wanted a Mr. Potato Head!

I'm sorry, Mulder, but you're asking me to disregard the laws of
physics. You want me to believe in some supernatural being who soars
across the skies and brings gifts to good little girls and boys. Listen
to what you're saying. Do you understand the repercussions? If this gets
out, they'll close the X-files.

Scully, listen to me: It knows when you're sleeping. It knows when
you're awake.

But we have no proof.

Last year, on this exact date, SETI radio telescopes detected bogeys
in the airspace over twenty-seven states. The White House ordered a
Condition Red.

But that was a meteor shower.

Officially. Two days ago, eight prized Scandinavian reindeer vanished
from the National Zoo, in Washington, D.C. Nobody-not even the
zookeeper-was told about it. The government doesn't want people to know
about Project Kringle. They fear that if this thing is proved to exist
the public will stop spending half its annual income in a holiday
shopping frenzy. Retail markets will collapse. Scully, they cannot let
the world believe this creature lives. There's too much at stake.
They'll do whatever it takes to insure another silent night.

Mulder, I-

Sh-h-h. Do you hear what I hear?

On the roof. It sounds like ... a clatter.

The truth is up there. Let's see what's the matter.

We (Angus et al) need to get ahold of HL Heidi. Is she still staying at M.
Jurgi's? If not, does anybody know if she is at home? I can't get an answer
anywhere. If you know where she is, or see her, tell me how to get ahold of
her or tell her to get ahold of me, thank you.

What I want do with costuming is to be as period as reasonable (limited
by cost, availability of fabrics, and so forth) or looks good close up.

As far as patterns go, I can figure one out based on a picture. I just
bought two more book from Barns and Nobles called "Medieval Costume in
England and France: the 13th, 14th, and 15th Centuries" by Mary G Houston
and Authentic Everyday Dress of the Renaissance: All 154 Plates from the
'Trachtenbuch' " by Christoph Weiditz. What I like about these two books
is that they have pictures of both court garb and everyday garb.

I'm thinking about focusing on the latter half of the 15th century. There
is a lot of different possibilities. As for culture, my persona is a well
educated Scottish woman although I'm not sure what other cultures
influences there clothing.

I think we're planning in going to Coronation, but when is it?
Thanks
