Someplace between Shock and Joy...

[mmcnealy]

 I'm likely to be in shock for a while, but I've been given a Writ today asking me to sit vigil for the Order of the Laurel on Feb 26th, at A Day in the Middle East

I keep looking at the beautiful piece of paper and thinking, "Wait, it has my name on it... that can't be right, can it?"

WoOt!! Though I must say - you may be the only one who IS surprised. ;-)

Congratulations!!!

Even when you lived here in An Tir, I knew that it wouldn't be too long before you became a Laurel. You've got mad skillz, as well as being a dab hand at research. It was only a matter of time before it happened.

I'm very happy for you and looking forward (even though I won't be at the ceremony) to considering you my "laurel sister."

OT, but what is the name of the picture in your icon? It looks like a Holbein. And is her hat quilted?

I'm not surprised! You are an amazing artisan and researcher. Congratulations!

Sweet, congrats, and not a shock to those of us in other kingdoms either.

AHHHH!!! So happy for you! I was actually just working from material from your site (schaube diary) the other day and thinking, "You know, it's not necessarily my place to say as I am not a Laurel, but it just baffles me why she hasn't been offered based on what I know and see of her work." I have learned SO MUCH from you, just through the electronic "presence" you have maintained, and come to have such high respect for both your research and your implementation - I know peerages are a complicated and messy thing in all kingdoms, but it really seemed like a disconnect to me and I have wondered about it for some time now.

I am very, very thrilled to hear that I won't have to wonder that anymore. :-) I look forward to hearing what you are going to make to wear, and to hear all about your ceremony as you work out the details!

I am keeping her out of the ceremony-planning, poor lady (Hi, I'm Hrothny, her Peer)... her job is to make really cool "I am being a woman of my class/times" garb".

I am so excited I could burst. Sophia's expertise is astonishing and I can't wait to call her 'sister'.

[dame-eleanor.livejournal.com]

I am not in the least surprised, but I am very, very pleased for you, and will be delighted to call you Sister good Coz!

Hugely deserved. Welcome and congratulations! I hope you will be able to post video of your ceremony.
