15 for 15

And so it was that 15 years ago, this January, that I, and my eldest daughter T1 (Lady Beatrix these days), joined the group of SCAdians residing in the area nowadays known as the Barony of Gotvik :)

It has been a glorious time (with a few months here and there missing) and to celebrate this, and push myself I set the bar high and aim to complete 15 different tasks in 15 categories (yes some might overlap..

Sadly though my device was blazoned/drawn wrong and was returned because my pointed point was not a pointed point :( the point was too high up and need to be lowered so that it doesn't become a devider.. tricky business this..
So.. draw a new one with a smaller pointed point and send it in again and wait for another 6 or so months.. well well.. If I'm lucky I'll get it accepted in time for DoubleWars :)
