[Ansteorra] SCACreativeFrugality e-list

[Hillary Greenslade]

Many of us have or at one time, have, played this game on a budget, 
thought this new e-mail list would be of interest to many, 
Enjoy, Hillary
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A new list has been started for people to share tips for being frugal 
in the SCA. Many members start out playing on a shoestring, and 
perhaps needing to make that shoestring once they find out if their 
persona even had shoestrings :-) So a new email list has been 
started for people to share frugal tips.

Are you one of the people who can
* Create garb for under $8
*Feed members of your barony a delicious stew and homemade bread for 
under $1 a person

*Dye yarn or cloth from things in your garden
*Sheer a sheep and turn it into a shawl with the help of your friends 
in one weekend

any period) would be dazzled by
*Make beautiful turned bowls out of downed trees
*Amuse children for hours with a few versatile toys
*Grow a herb garden from cuttings and divisions
*Make scented soaps or healing salves from garden ingredients
*Create camp furniture that looks like the furniture in paintings
