A Good Night of Sewing

1. I finished lots of things last night at Raven's.
2. I ate the very first tomato from our garden for lunch. Mmmm Yum!
3. I cuddled with Smiles during the thunderstorm last night.
4. I surprised Smiles with the white shift I made from the leftover material I used for my white shift. It goes beautifully under her sleeveless purple dress.
5. I am still recuperating from this blasted cold. Lots of tea today I think.

So last night I went to Raven's and she was a wonderful person who not only made me a pouch for Quad War she also fixed Hubby's tunic that needed gussets put in. I had apparently not made the tunic big, um rotund enough for him and hence gussets where called for. So the tunic is done. I cut out a white shift for myself and as stated above had enough left over to make Smiles one too. I will be honest and say that I need to rehem my shift because I had cut it a little longer than I should have, but that's ok. That will take me oh 10 mins max to finish up. Also Crazy Lady of the Woods was absolutely wonderful and had made a blue gate dress that she gave to me. So I have a complete outfit for Quad War. Yay!!! Also I have gathered material I had left lying around Raven's so that I can take it to my parents place when I look after their house for them next week.

Which means I will try to get a few more cloaks made and hopefully a peasant shirt for me from my blue crinkle cotton or another dress from the blue linen I have. Extra outfits are always nice to have at events like these. Now I just have to try to get Bear to understand this. The only way I could get him to change outfits during the school year was if his was incredibly dirty and I would have to order him to put them in the hamper or if he got wet. Sigh! That's my boy. So I expect him to wear the same outfit all weekend at Quad. Smiles will probably change outfits like 5 or 6 times I am thinking. Which means I should make her more outfits. oooh.... I could go through my box labeled Cloth for Smiles and...! Oh yeah I have other things to do than make my daughter look adorable in medieval garb.

Like housework, ugh!
