Royal Wedding

Well I don't want to beat a dead horse, though I must say three cheers for the new royal couple, their Royal Highnesses William and Catherine. Good Luck, and may you bag yourself a paparazzi for old time sake ;-) Wishful thinking I know.

I have enjoyed have plenty of laughs at their expense, though not at them directly. Mind you mainly at the ridiculous media coverage over the event. It funny the its three days away and I can see they are getting desperate to find new things to talk about with the big day approaching. As if it wasn't going to be nerve racking enough to be getting married, let alone these two being under microscope the whole time. So glad my wedding is not till next year, not fuss or ostentatious just a small simple church wedding and reception. Happy to be a "commoner", though being American I don't fall under any other definition than that, American.

Well on to more interesting things other than current events. I am almost done with one of the cuffs for my elizabethan gloves. I have to finished the other peacock supporter and pillars they are standing on, but that is about it. Finally got the shapes of the harps to look like harps and not backwards letter D's. I still have to decide on a motto to go in the ribbon under my blazon, want it in Latin but not sure if I just want three words or more of slogan sentence. I always use the adage "patience is a virtue", which is "patientia est a rectum" in Latin. Though I feel the traditional is a little corny. I was thinking of " patience my faithful virtue" is patientia meus fidelis rectum. Not decided but they all sound wonderful, want it to be firm and resolute in the way it sounds, not decided yet. Still pondering it carefully. So progress yes, though this is the only thing I am working on right now.

Hope you all enjoy looking so far, I will publish more photos when one glove is complete with wording.
