Dear Diary

Today is the first day of this Princesswannabe Diary.

My aim is to be the future Princess of Nordmark, a Principality in The Kingdom of Drachenwald.
To get the job my Consort has to win the Coronet Torney 6th of May 2006.
My contribution is to fix our mutual Arts & Science work that has to be exposed to the populace on the same day.

I decided to make a gilt leather embroidery (using polyester gold string instead of expensive gilt leather) cushion. As a source I´ve used a motif from the Dalhem Church coverlet.
When I was finished with the central part I got a terrible agony on how to continue - do the original's applique of broadcloth or not?
And here I still stand.
Do it or not do it?

For the crucial day I also intent to update my wardrobe with a new Viking outfit...
Have I started?
I will - today...
