This counts as a business plan right
For some fucking reasons I've designed this label
A naval leather water bucket for “sponging” out the bores of cannons after firing. This was necessary to make sure that any burning remnants / embers were extinguished prior to reloading the cannon for the next round. Or it was used as a firebucket, c.1800
The tent is up!
This is a vevor 16.5 ft bell tent (it's gone up in price since I bought it but it's pretty reasonable value for money) painted with latex exterior house paint, the cheapest stuff they had at menards. I used a folding foam mattress on top of the four storage bins my gear was packed in as a cot--quite comfy and practical; I'm going to cut a sheet of plywood as a bin topper and do that again for sure. The guyline shorteners are just sections of 2x2 furring strips, cut and painted. There's documentation on the process for nearly all of this here already.

Got shitty posture? Back pain? Arm pain? Your spine didn't read an anatomy textbook? Fibromyalgia, and constantly dislocating your shoulders?
Bruh, me too. Let's get Pain Managemented.

Okay, I've officially made a buttload of bunting (over 70 ft) and some of you have asked how I did the appliques because yay not sewing those on.
To do this you need:
quilting cotton fabric, any pattern you like. Nothing too heavyweight!
heat and bond iron-on interfacing (link is amazon; your local fabric retailers should have it. Buy local if you can!)
an iron and ironing board
a computer, with access to www.photopea.com or an image editor of your choosing.
a cricut or other cutting machine that works with sticky mats to feed material.
A roll of vinyl transfer tape--you can do this project without it, but it will be easier with.
To begin, make your design in your image editor. You want large, single color, relatively simple shapes on a transparent background. I have a 12x24 cutting mat, so I made my image 11.5x23.5. Export it as a PNG, and then upload it into design space or whatever application runs your cricut or cutting machine.
Prepare your fabric by cutting it to the size of your mat. For me, that's rectangles of 12x24 material. Also cut the same size out of heat-and-bond. DO NOT REMOVE THE BACKING PAPER FROM THE HEAT AND BOND. Once you've got rectangles of fabric and rectangles of heat and bond, attach the heat and bond to the fabric with an iron.
Prepare your sticky mat by attaching a layer of vinyl transfer tape face-down, so the sticky side is up when you remove the backing paper. This will prevent the fabric from leaving lint all over the mat, and the backing paper for heat and bond is very prone to tearing--without the transfer paper, you'll be cleaning your mats a lot between every cutting.
Stick the heat and bonded fabric face-up on the mat, so the paper backing of the heat and bond is adhered to the transfer tape. Smooth out to remove bubbles. And then load the mat into your cricut! I've got an explore air 2 (several years old now) and I used my normal blade at its deepest cut settings, and fire away. (Designs do not need to be mirrored.) Before removing your finished cut from the sheet, double check that the blade has gone all the way through and you will not need a second pass-I never did, but check just in case!
Peel everything off the mat, discarding the paper backing/transfer paper layers, then iron your fabric designs onto your bunting! If you want things to be really durable, you can sew the edges down like a normal applique, but for bunting, I didn't feel it was necessary.
Doing stuff and things
Apparently I just never posted my new shield strap here? I'm slipping. Anyways here it is.
After 9 months of work, my Oseberg tapestry sweater is complete!
This was my first sweater knitted in the round, first stranded colourwork project, and my first time steeking. It was definitely my most challenging project so far, and a lot of learning and research was involved. I used a colourwork chart created by the very talented Molly Gifford, which is available for free on Ravelry
For reference, this is one of the fragments uncovered from the gravesite:
Some scholars think that the Oseberg tapestry includes the earliest known artistic depiction of Odin's ravens, Huginn and Muninn. So I added them to the sleeves as a little Easter egg.
I was commissioned to make a spearhead in the shape of a great egret

Both of them together:
I still have these and they're still for sale! Hit me up if you want one
Painting my tent and making guyline shorteners
Boards can be wonky. I did not know this and always assumed if my board art wasn't flawless I was doing it wrong, but no. Flawless wood in a fantasy or historical setting is probably kinda weird unless there was a reason to invest that much time. Pictures of Guédelon I got from iisaw on bsky.
