I have finished the embroidery for the hem of the 12th C dress that I am planning of wearing at my investiture. It is official now. I was called up in front of the current ki
ng to be told that I had won the election and will be invested as teh Baroness of Smoking rocks. therefore I have a few projects that need to be finished up before June. The event we hold then, Vinland Raids, will be our investiture. One of the things I want to finish is a 12th C gown in the style of one shown in the Prufening Miscellany or the stained glass Crucifixion window at Poitiers Cathedral. In both of these cases the outer gown is shorter than the under gown. This allows embroidery on the hem edge of the outer gown to be protected from the ground. In the picture the 2 pieces of embroidery are hanging donw the back of a door. The front piece has the celtic dog in the middle. The pictures show the neck opening to be surrounded by embroidery also. That is the next step.

I have not done anything on it for quite a while.
I also have finished another piece of lace for the elizabethan smock. This is one of the pieces that line the edges of the cuff openings. There will be 4 of them all together. They are quite easy to make compared to some of the others I am making for this smock. 
With this one I have finished 5 of the 20 needed to complete the smock. That seems like it should be 1/4 of the way done, but I have been finishing the easier ones first. There are still some really long pieces for the top of the sleeves.
