Hello! I'm Bonnie
Researching is my thing. I want to know all.the.things. So, I always have tons of ideas swirling around in my head and in my notebooks. I started this blog to help motivate me to finish the many projects I have started and share them with you! I have a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and a Masters Degree in Public History, specializing in Early America. By day, I'm a security researcher and live in Western New York with my wonderful husband and our 2 cats and 2 dogs.
In my quest to do all the things, I’ve added hand sewing, weaving, open hearth cooking, embroidery, finger loop braiding, silk painting, and basket making to my list of abilities (some more expert than others).
I hope you join me on my adventures. I promise it will be an entertaining ride!
And I'm Laurencia
If you are familiar with the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism), you probably know me as Laurencia, as I’ve been a member since 2001. I've lived in the East Kingdom and the Kingdom of AEthelmearc. I portray Baroness Laurencia of Carlisle, an English woman of the late fourteenth – early fifteenth century. I work on obtaining the skills and knowledge a woman of that time would have possessed. A lifelong project? I know. Some unanswerable questions? Yes. But incredibly fun and fascinating? Most definitely!
