And here it is!
The Famous Cushion.
To be given as token to my consort,
Lord Erik Långe till Ågård.

We came, we fought, we loosed - we smiled!











Vad är väl en bal på slottet? as we swedes use to say (quoted from Disney's Cinderella - what is a ball at the castle...)
We came, we met, he fought, I cheered - but in the end, no crowns were won.
But it was fun, I tell you.
And I got so nervous thinking I would slip in the grass and fall, that I forgot the first bow for their Majesties Sven and Thora.
Yes, it was a great day.
It was a grand day.
Birds were singing, the sun was shining, everybody smiled and laughed (I think) and the Tournament was exciting. 7 experienced warriors in a deadly fight over the Crown.
It will always be remembered by the populace and the gentles attending.

And maybe, just maybe, I go for it again...

Disappointment...

It´s gonna be over 20 degrees Celsius this weekend!
Some media say 25...
*sigh*

I´m sure not gonna dress in 3 layers of wool....
Have to think in a whole new perspective - linen, linen, linen...

Don´t have a nice linnen apron dress.
Just ugly, worn out things.
Help!!!!

Got to skip the checked tunic.
Can´t have the red coat on me.
And my darling Rurik the Fox, can´t even lie in my lap as he use to - I will surely die of a heat wave...

Done!

The cushion is finished!!!
(Not entirely satisfied. Not enough space around the wreath.)
