North River crafting day

Today has been the crafting day for our shire.  I would have been happie to see more people here but we ar having a great time.  Deryk is actually teaching sewing lessons.  It is fun to listen to him.  We have made swords, sewn sword covers, and made tunics.

 

Loads of fun and merriment was had by all.  Deryk actually finished what started out as a simple T-tunic but evolved into a short gored tunic dress for our littlest Amtgarder.  She looked so cute.  I will have to get pics from Dragonfly to show them off. 

North River Coro!

We had our coronation for the North River Park this past weekend.  Had an amazing turn out!  We even had some knights there.  I really enjoy spending the day with my friends and this was a great day.  It did threaten to rain on us for a bit but we popped up some tents and held court in the rain.  I am one up on Deryk when it comes to order of the rose.  Deryk is starting his second term as Sheriff  and I will be regent this term.  That means I need to find a way to host an A&S day.  My home is just too small to have people over and too messy. 

The day was a great success also because we had a class game.  I need to mention that Deryk roleplayed a very awesome and amusing goblin.  We played capture the GOBO.  My husband was so amusing that I spent most of the time giggling at him.  I never ditch and rarely do I partake in the fighter practice.  I do play a 6th level druid however.  I did not say I play well but I do play.  Dekker said it was the first time he saw me play ever and I can believe that.

Later we held a small Iron Man which is always great fun.  I like that the more seasoned warriors will try to help newbies.

Midreign fun!

They were hiding eggs.  Creatively.

This past weekend was the Kingdom of Neverwinter's Midreign event.  It was very fun, well organized, delicious.  We had many people who could not come and were greatly missed.  But I did meet some new people that are awesome.


My time was 80/20 on good things and bad things.  I had a huge smile on my face as I spent most of my time at the Weaponmaster taking pictures and talking to friends.


Weaponmaster

Towards the end of the weaponmaster rain was threatening (actually falling) so I ran (yes sprinted) to my tent to close the vent and lost my glasses somewhere in the 300 yds of leaves.  My frames are brown...they are gone.  What touched me is that I think literally everyone at some point walked that area looking for them.  THANK YOU EVERYONE!  They are still gone and I feel rather stupid for not leaving them in the tent that day.

Venus was so dedicated that I had to bring her lunch on the field.

For fear of rain, because I was upset and naptime, I did not get pictures of the balloon fight or gladiator pit.  Sorry guys.




Court was kept sweet and short.  Which for me seemed wrong.  I am so used to our court in Winter's Edge which takes so much longer.  Granted Shal did give stacks of awards to be handed out at the next time several parks met.  Yay!  I did get my 5th order of the Rose.  Very awesome.  



A few of our early A&S projects

Deryk has made several items for himself and others swords, shields, and garb.  I think he is most proud of his garb making.  He has also started working in leather more.  I like the leather working but not so much with the banging at all hours.

Shield Cover (I think his first one)

I have mostly been a photographer, cook, and seamstress.  I do not make weapons because my husband is so good.  I do like to sew and cook.  I was first known as the bread wench.  I really liked that nickname.  I was always asked by Winters Edge (my previous home) to take photos at events and I was thrilled to do so.

This shirt was made for our wedding by me.







Meet the MacCoills

 

Mararee and Deryk MacCoill are former residents of the Failia Ranae in the principality of Winter's Edge.  A few moons ago we traveled a great distance to come to reside in North River of the Kingdom of Neverwinter.
