Yesterday as the 25th anniversary of the Order of the Evergreen in the Kingdom of the Middle (in the SCA, please see below for more info). While reading about the history, I was inspired to challenge myself to see how much I could talk about blackwork embroidery this morning before my day began.
Check out my embroidery books!

For anyone curious about what exactly the 'SCA' is -- The Society for Creative Anachronism is an international, non-profit educational organization that studies and recreates the medieval and Renaissance years of 600-1600AD.
