It's been a while since I've updated this. And August has been full of stuff, but not a whole lot of work on projects. I've honestly needed a break from projects (and instead, added some SCA-related things to my modern Zazzle store), and I'm glad I took it, but I really do need to get … Continue reading Update on Projects

Omphaloskepsis: Making Magic Moments for Others
In my last post about making magic moments in the SCA, it was all about what an individual can do to help make their own magic moments. This, though, is what we can do as a collective group, though this also relies on individuals. The thing is, the SCA does not exist in a bubble. … Continue reading Omphaloskepsis: Making Magic Moments for Others
Omphaloskepsis: Making Magic Moments in the SCA
One of the things that I've seen over and over again in the SCA Social Mediaverse is that people want to see more magic moments. A magic moment in the SCA is where time seems to stand still and where it seems that one has gone back into time. Many of us want to have … Continue reading Omphaloskepsis: Making Magic Moments in the SCA
Omphaloskepsis: on asking questions and providing suggestions
It's been kind of a crazy few weeks in SCA blog-land when it comes to arts and sciences and how we ask questions and do things and information transfer and how to act on social media. Y'know, a light week of reading. (So you have an idea, check out these posts: Social Media, the SCA and … Continue reading Omphaloskepsis: on asking questions and providing suggestions
Upcoming Classes
I'm tinkering with classes for an upcoming event. If you're going to be in Calontir over Memorial Day weekend, I'd love to see you at Valor! I'll be hosting a scriptorium (just a time for scribes to hang out and paint) on Sunday, with a class on regalia, court protocol, and writing award recommendations, and … Continue reading Upcoming Classes
I Need Your Help
Hi all - I wish this was an awesome research post or a post about something I made. Instead, I'm asking for a tiny bit of help with a bit of a modern-day problem. I'm visiting my Diarmaid, and my computer hard drive ended up needing to be replaced. I was able to have it … Continue reading I Need Your Help
It’s been a year: goal-writing and the SCA
On the other other hand, goal-writing allows us to see our own growth and learn from what we've done in the past - it's not a checklist. It's a way to see how far you've come as a person (or your kit, etc.) and yet still show how far you have to go, and then using that as a form of finding contentment. It's kind of Zen, really.
Headgear!
This morning, as I was getting ready to go to an event, I had an epiphany on headgear. To be fair, I had been stressing over proper headgear and if all else failed, I was just going to stick a couple veils on my head and just be done with it. Until, well, I put … Continue reading Headgear!
Heralds Running Amok; or How to Put Together a Heraldic Retreat 2: Electric Boogaloo
Another retreat happened this year, and I am pleased to say that it was even better this go around! Things I learned in between last year's retreat and this year's retreat: Conflict is going to happen. I don't mean conflict between people (though that can happen), but I do mean that the event will conflict … Continue reading Heralds Running Amok; or How to Put Together a Heraldic Retreat 2: Electric Boogaloo
2014 in review – kaloethina.blogpost.com
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog, and I'm interested! Outside of the SCA, I love metrics. (I love metrics in the SCA, but that's another story.) This is a neat little report, and I'm glad to see that y'all out there in the blog-o-verse are reading. Please drop … Continue reading 2014 in review – kaloethina.blogpost.com
