The
A&S 50 Challenge
involves doing 50 things in the Arts and Sciences between May 1st AS 42/2007 and
May 1st AS 50/2015,
in honor of the SCA's 50th Birthday. The Challenge is a chance to develop skills
and learn more about what interests you in a non-competitive, community-based
environment. I am pursuing the Persona Challenge: making or learning 50
different things that my persona would know, have, or know how to do.
(For more information on the Challenge in general, visit

Who am I?
Kateryn Rous, mercer's wife, living in
Norwich
in
1530.



The items in my challenge are divided as follows. I've
numbered them to help me keep track, but I don't intend to work in numerical
order. When I've
complete an items, a hot link will appear to a new page dedicated to that item.
I haven't decided on the full list of 50 items yet! I'm keeping track of recipes
and other instructions in my
commonplace book, which I'm not counting as part of the challenge.
