Timeline of Activity:

2011: My first event was Candlemas, as Madylyne Taylor.  My primary interests at that time were costuming and embroidery, mainly focused on 14-15th century England and France.

2016-2019: I took some time off from the SCA due to personal Life Reasons

2019: Came back as Hrefna Hroksdottir, a Norse woman (persona-wise I don't hail from anywhere in particular; I normally say either Sweden or Denmark because that's where most of my outfit and accessories are from).  

2026: At present I am focused on Norse women's and men's costuming and costume design, and tablet weaving.
