helwenChocolate bark is made - three types: raisin, pistachio, almonds. Each type with semi-sweet chocolate.
Discovered I'm out of baggies -- probably have been for a while, as I don't have a lot of use for them these days. Have to go get some.

Realized with help from Fitzw that I don't need as much trim as I thought I did, for making the belt. So used a piece of solid silver I have instead. It probably isn't any more period appropriate than the other trim, but I'm happier with it anyway. Sewed it onto a piece of the same wool I made the dress from, left a small space around the trim and sewed on narrow flat silver cording I have to outline the main piece of trim. Tapered at ends and attached some big silver rope-cording I have, for tying it closed.
Not sure it needed garnishment, but I added three of my little brass running bunnies on the center front part of the belt. The center starts in the front, wraps around and crosses in the back, then comes around to the front again and ties below where it started. In the back you see an "X" and in the front it looks kind of like a point-down triangle.

Fitzw's green Norman over tunic just isn't looking good enough anymore (not for court), so we're going with his dark blue Norman one, with a green layer underneath. He has some other green clothing, but it isn't Norman and he wants to match.
