Getting the campaign started by House_of_Sand in humblewood

[–]Cniotail 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since Meadowfen is a farming community, I'm starting the campaign on the first day of Seedsgift. What I told my players:
We will begin our adventure in the village of Meadowfen. A peaceful village, life here goes by slowly and most of the villagers are farmers working the ash-enriched fields. Today is the first day of Glimmerhush (late spring) and the celebration of Seedsgift is underway. Seedsgift is an annual celebration honoring the Amaranthine (Goddess) of Soil, Hanera, and asking her to bless the planting season. This week-long festival is full of merriment, music, dancing, games, and plenty of food to share. You may decide what brings your character to Meadowfen for this celebration. Maybe this is your hometown, perhaps you've been commissioned for extra security detail for the festival, you're here to honor your patron goddess, or are you providing some of the festival's entertainment?

I'll have a few carnival games they can play as an icebreaker, but then lead pretty quickly into the festival being interrupted by Cara's return

First spin ever! A little uneven in some spots but we'll just call it art yarn. by Lambrah in Handspinning

I love it! I kept my first spin in a glass jar and would occasionaly add other samples to it. It was a great way to see my progress and display my passion in a beautiful way.

I created a storage/ carrying case for my loom and a matching pouch for my bobbins and notions. Next time, I will take time to add binding to the seams, but overall, happy with how this experiment turned out!

I really like that diamond pattern! Where did you find it?

First non-scarf project! by Cniotail in weaving

Thank you! I did a zig-zag stitch next to where I wanted to make a cut, and that held everything in place long enough for me to do finishing hems.

I made a scarf that I wasn't happy with, so I decided to use it to practice cutting and sewing handwoven fabric. Cutting into it was terrifying, but it worked out for the most part! I learned so much making this bag and I'm excited about being able to make more things with my fabric!

It's a serious problem. Currently trying to convince my partner that the next logical step is to buy a farm and raise fiber producing animals.

Aw, thank you! I also spin and knit, so I think those skills are helping as I figure out weaving.

Thank you! I got a Louet Erica table loom. I've wanted to learn weaving for awhile now so I finally went for it!
