Spouse is making hats! And I'm helping. Here is a wool tweed pillbox style hat she sewed out of some scrap wool from another project. It is lined with linen. The wool was pretty easy to work with.

This is more like what my random notes look like - I try to plug in thorns and Latin abbreviations where I can ;-)
It is pretty cool. The big shifts in scripts tend to be cultural or language based, but even so, the variation is wide. I could ramble on about palaeography at great length, but I probably should do some work instead ;-)

This isn't quite it - I don't use that medial 'r' much anymore, but some of the rest is close. It's a little fancier than my note-taking hand.
I use a somewhat eccentric roughly 14th century secretary hand for most things these days.

That sucks. I'm sorry to hear it.
