About three months ago - four? - I purchased a small string of round, cobalt blue glass beads at a craft store. It took me a while to get to it, but I finally worked them into my Viking necklace. I even had enough beads this time to make a third string to add on:
In case you're curious, here's what they looked like before, as of last November:
I'm really wishing I had an SCA event to go to, you guys. It's been way too long - since Candlemas. I missed a couple of events after that, and then everything was shut down and events got canceled - even Gulf Wars, and now I hear Pennsic has been canceled, too. I miss my friends, and I miss dressing up and going camping. I know we all do. Hang in there, buddies, this will be over before you know it.
At least now I have a "new" necklace to show off when I get back in the game. And I'll have new shoes, too! I ordered a pair of Viking shoes from Bohemond this week, and I can't wait to see them in person. (Don't you just love ordering things online? It's like getting presents in the mail).
See you all soon!
